Peter Eastgate’s One Outer Against Scott Montgomery

admin — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 05:57:15 +0000

This hand is too sick to be real. Not because it’s a one-outer, but because it’s a one-outer in the biggest tournament of the year. I would feel so sick if this happened to me. Scott Montgomery does win over 3 MILLION dollars, but I’m sure he’ll be thinking back about this hand, and about what COULD have happened if that damned six of diamonds did NOT hit the river…

Poker can be a cruel, cruel game. Peter Eastgate ended up winning the Main Event. Good for him.

WSOP ‘08 Aftermath – I Thank The Rakeback! :)

What a battle it was for the first place in the main event yesterday.

After four months the 2008 World Series of Poker has ended and young prodigy Peter Eastgate is the champion at 22 years of age.

He defeated Russia’s Ivan Demidov after playing heads up for a couple of hours early Tuesday morning. The victory makes him the youngest player to ever win the WSOP Main Event.

He took home a little over $9million and Demidov $5.8million so not too shabby even for the 2nd place finisher. I was watching the game live and playing at the same time. Mistake on my part because since I was glued to the TV and didnt pay much attention to my online play the only money I ended up getting yesterday was in rakeback lol. So a lesson learned from last night is don’t watch the pros and play yourself at the same time because you will most likely get thrown of your game. Thank god for these rakeback offers or I would feel like yesterday was a complete waste of time.

Congrats to Peter and Ivan and I will see you on the final tables online soon.

Roberto Romanello is a poker Genius

I am in awe after seeing my new MAIN MAN Roberto Romanello lay down JJ on a flush-free AKJTT board. — WHAT AN AMAZING LAYDOWN.

Roberto, who cashed in the 2006 Main Event even got a WAAW from Mike Matusow. That’s strong.

It’s the first hand in this video below — pretty beautiful.

Maya Geller, you’re a hottie!

You all know Patrik Antonius, all you women want his babies, but the only (well, I’m assuming this, hehe) woman really doing him is the ever so gorgeous Maya Geller, poker player and poker player’s wife at the same time…

Those who play at a casino online take note of what you are missing; No matter how good the avatar’s are in an online poker game they ain’t never going to look this good.

On the other hand the less distractions you have at the table the better. And Maya is very distracting.

She pwetty. Photos from the World Series and also from Vincent’s Poker Blog.

Hellmuth Tirade: Jim Pittman

I LOVE TO SEE PHIL HELLMUTH GO ON TIRADES. “THIS GUY CAN’T EVEN SPELL POKER”.

He’s right though. Phil Hellmuth never does this kind of donkstuff. He’s right. He’s so much better than this guy. KJ. DONKBALL.
