Anthony McConnell

Nickname - chief brody

Qualified - 8th September in Fitzwilliam offline satellite

Age - Unknown

Occupation - Former builder

Poker experience - 1 year

Other information - Anthony has a lifetime of card game play behind him, but he only discoved poker about a year ago. In that time he's mainly played tournaments at the Fitzwilliam Club in Dublin - ideal live experience for his trip to Cardiff.

Anthony's nickname stems from his similarity with the character from Jaws - quite appropriate when he's swimming with the big sharks at the Grand Prix.

Good man Rounders lol

News - 11th September (http://www.williamhillpoker.com/tournaments_grand_prix_2006.htm)

Former builder Anthony McConnell has only been playing tournaments for a year, although he's been "a card player all his life". His aggressive play saw him score his biggest win by far at the Fitzwilliam Card Club, Dublin.

Anthony admitted, "I had a few hands that I played the best, but I also got lucky a few times too - that's poker, you've got to be brave if you want to win anything. I have a naturally aggressive game and I'm very much looking forward to facing the big pros in the Grand Prix II."

That is quite the heat, love to see how they react to been chiefed!

i heard a great conversation (audience) with the Chief in the SE on Sunday. Some guy in the cash game was asking about the Grand Prix and the Chief said he'd heard of one of the guys in his heat.

'Flood, yeah, he come comes in here a lot....plays a lot of the big tewernaments!'

His bemused opponent:

'no not Liam Flood, he's a bleedin' buukie!'

Here's another choice. All three as above or SHELLEY MULLET here

i'll go for the Mullet-Chief sandwich.

bottomfeeder - was that you on the chief's right who had your set of 3s raped by a Chief gutshot on the river?

ianmc38

I rang William Hills this morning to get the result. They said that they cannot announce the winners. Apparently the Chief was 7/2 in running yesterday (unconfirmed)

cardshark202

I've been meaning to post this.

I had a 'chat' with the cheif on friday. He was talking to me about the boards tourney. During the talk he basically accused both Dave Masters, and HJ of taking "mind enhancing drugs", "smoking the hash, you know". "It helps you know. I saw Dave make a call with a pair of 3s you know. I've seen him fold a pair of jacks or a pair of queens to big bets from me, and he calls a guy with a pair of 3s!? Its not just the things I saw at the table, but the stuff I saw away from the table too." When I tried to explain that its hardly gonna make a difference he was saying: "Of course it does, its illegal you know."

LOL

Disclaimer: This is a rough approximation of the conversation as I can't remember it word for word.

karlh

yeah, HJ was smoking a rolly at one of the breaks and the Chief accused him of taking drugs.

He then said with pride - "i don't need stuff like that, I make my own inside me!".

deep words indeed.

Did you ask him if you could roll one up?

surreal - the legend grows

Ian, any chance of texting the Chief to see how he's getting on?

I was going to start a snooty thread asking why every 2nd post on the forum seems to be about this bloke, and could people put it on the BB thread instead.

However, I've changed my mind, this is top notch stuff.
Keep those anecdotes coming, quality.

califano

As we stood eating finger food at the break the Chief comes over.

"I knocked a fella out there last hand before the break. lost the Fcukin head he did lol. What the Fcuk does he think this game is..... jasus. He gets knocked out and says thats bull**** that is. lol ya know like".

Builder? Plumber would be nearer the mark. I saw him call two all-in players with A6 in the boards.ie game.

Those pros might need psychiatric help after a few hours of the Chief's bets and calls.

Macspower

you forgot... not only called the 2 all guys with A6 but knocked them out as well.........


well the original chief brody was a fisherman of sorts.........

And yes - 80,000 chips in play, Tony had "around 40,000" with 4 left. He seemed quite down about blowing it. "Listen to me, In life you only get one chance - this was mine". I didn't quite know what to say to that to be fair.

Genius.
