WSOP final table :Best Bet?

THEIRISHMOB

Been studying this market and looking for an investment.

Lee watkinson looks the bet here.........!!! 7/1 Paddypower
8/1 stanjames

$2,600,000 in prize money.
next best $550k kravchenko

Lots of experence in big events WPT: Twice 2nd
WSOP bracelet winner and 2 other final tables 2nd and 4th

If it was a horse race hes the fav.

Views?

Captain Tom

i think RainKhan(sp?) is good value at i think 11-1.

THEIRISHMOB

Khan only has $23,000 in career earnings and cant see him pushing for first place.
I think watkinson will be pushing as he can afford to take chances and also as a full tilt player will be aiming for first spot where as a lot of the others will be looking at the jumps in money, as for them It is life changing amounts..!!!

bops

philip hilm is where my moneys at @ 4/1

he's a nutjob who is not affraid to get his money in - go the scandi's

ive seen him play in a couple of epts

Captain Tom

intersting sidenote: Lee Watkinson actually qualified on full tilt and is eligable to win the 10 million that Full Tilt promise to any of their qualifiers than win the WSOP ME. so 18.25mil if he comes first.

I think you will find that the 23000$ is in live earnings, RainKhan is a highy successful online player and wouldnt be surprised to learn if his earnings are in the hundreds of thousands if not higher. Read this

Watkinson looks good to me.

Jesus Wept

would you make sweet love to him?

Hectorjelly

For half his winnings I would


edit, assuming he wins!

mdwexford

half of ninth isnt too shabby......;)

I woulnd't like to see Watkinson win. I don't think he has much personality. He lives with chimpanzees and his wife is very unattractive. I'm sure he's quite a likeable chap and all, but hey I'm fickle.

Is there audio commentary on the FT anywhere?

mdwexford

the attractiveness of his missus has a bearing on you liking to see him win or not

lol.

Yea, he does seem quiet, maybe he is alright.

I don't want that Khan guy to win, from what I've heard of his loud celebrating everytime he wins a hand, ugh.

You can think of a better reason? Hachem's wife looks quite tasty so I have a lot of respect for him, which comes second to the fact he's a decent poker player. For the same reasons I have very little respect for Allen Cunningham.

I'd say she is about a 93o

lol OMG I never thought about rating women by hand rankings. I'm such a geek to find that hilariously funny.

Jesus Wept

hehe, I feel like I've just given new meaning to your life

Watkinson seems like a decent guy, if a little too american.. I'd love to see him win it so FT have to pay out.

What are your feelings about Greg Raymer?

Jon "skalie" Kalmar is a pretty sick aggresive player, he could bully his way to a big chip lead similar to the way Andy Black did in 2005, but he is pretty fearless and could lose them all in just a couple of hands too...

I think he will have a big edge today.

He had to send a video to a poker site I believe because they thought he was a bot. Think he was playing 25 sngs at the same time?

I love Philip Hilm for this, have played with him twice and found him to be the real deal. His table presence is superb and his lack of tells is very similar to Antonius - he will either win or blow up.

Joey Micheal(bigjoe2003) gives him a run for his money. He's only one of 2 players on Stars to reach Supernova Elite status and got himself a V8 Vantage with FPP's last month, afaik. He only plays 6 handed turbo's, and has Hellmuth syndrome and calls himself the best online sng player in the world.

Skalie's a lovely lad, so I'm hoping he takes it all the way. He can be super aggressive, but he seems to be in top form and hopefully won't donk his chips away. Fingers crossed!!!

I know someone who has a piece of his action, lucky sod.
