fair play marty,excellent result and all the more impressive given that i'd imagine there's rarely been an omaha tournament with such a tough field.

Amazing result to add to a string of amazing results in the recent past.
Have always highly respected Marty's tournament play from what I've seen on television.
Bring on the main event!

lol did exactly the same thing. Only difference it was 7 p.m. in my room in Vegas so very poor show from me. Missed all the crack. Anyway delighted for Marty.

KevIRL

I'll add my well done to the rest. Fantastic achievement

Glowingmind

Congrats.

Winning stuff is always good, but winning against the field that tourney attracts is exceptionally impressive.

smurph

Well done Marty on a brillant performance, all you need now is a Tony Cooney watch to match the bracelet and your flying.

A true gent on and off the table.

Well done

Colette & Martin

Ollieboy

Well Done again Marty, maybe you could start posting here and helping all of us with or PLO game.

To win two major titles in a short space and in different games is amazing.

NickyOD

Superb achievement Sir!

Congrats Marty. As I said in the other thread, an all around nice guy and great poker player. You are now a member of the Poker elite. Your results in the last fifteen months are better than anyone else in the poker world imo.

fixed your post tony.

Enjoy PARIS Tony and I do hope I'm not 2nd guessing anything here *cough* but Paris is a very romantic city and one must be careful of ones knee should you happen to be down on it. It can easily be misinterpreted by eager females as something else. So if your shoelace opens over there, it's best to risk tripping up, rather than going down on the ol patella ..nudge nudge........many a man gets caught by that one.

Fantastic result Marty, vwp.

great interview, boyles need to get bigger logo's

connie147

Yeah, very good interview on cardplayer. I agree with nicky though, Boyles need a bigger logo. I've been given the poker stars gear and if any of their players get interviewed, there will be no doubting who their being sponsored by.

marty smyth

hi all - just wanted to say thanks to everyone who was cheering me on, both on here and in the rio.

i'd been meaning to dig up my old login for here as i've only posted once and that was a year ago but i couldn't remember it so i've set this new account up. my head's been a bit up my a*se the last couple of days as u can probably imagine and i played the main event today to get it out of the way so i can get down to the serious business of boozing solidly for a couple of days.

as anyone there will know, and any of the rest of u will see when its on the tv, it was quite a night. i though the irish open was special - and it was - but i have to be honest and say that this smashed the bejesus out of it. the sight of everyone jumping in the air as the river came over is an image i'll have in my head for ever. (i was watching the crowd for the reaction rather than the table).

and speaking of images i'll have in my head for ever... there's plenty more from the scene at the bar afterwards, which was how i imagine the monkey enclosure at the zoo would look if they had all had a pint of vodka and red bull injected directly into their blood streams. it really makes me wonder how badly u have to behave to be ejected from the rio casino.

finally, a big well done / hard luck to tom hanlon who if he'd came out on the right side of a big 50-50 ish hand 3 tables out, would probably have been odds on for the bracelet. it would have been pretty special for the 2 of us to play out the heads up, but tom genuinely seemed more happy for me than he was disappointed for himself, and i'd like to think i'd have felt the same if it had been the other way round. i think his decision to order the second bottle of wine at dinner the 2nd nite, which then led to about another 10 vodka&cokes / heinekens when we got back to the table was the catalyst for the success i enjoyed in the last 4 or 5 levels of the night. not terribly professional of us i know, but it seemed to work out.

anyway... thanks again to everyone. all we need now is a nice run in the main from one of the lads.

cheers, marty.

zuroph

i freaking love this forum!

Paul Spillane

Hi Nicky, yep a good point about the logo, we are working on it and should have it done by November when Marty wins the main event!

We are taking Marty out tonight, anyone reading this in Vegas is invited, pm me to get more details, beers are on us. July 4th and Martys party, carnage potential=massive

That's a great read as always from Padraig I particularly love this bit:-

Channing has stuck more players than PokerStars into this year's WSOP and should at least be able to sit wherever the **** he likes.
