I'm off to Italy on Thursday will the 2nd of August, so ye can all fire away until then.

**If the outstanding 4th round games havent been completed by Monday mroning, I'll make a call or toss a coin to decide them once and for all

Requiem4adream

Kev, myself and chris between 1 thing and another havent been able to get this match going (he was away for the week and before that i was internetless!!) - we've tried over PM last few days to get it going but i'm on a different time zone lol. Only got up at 1am, thought it was too late to ring him. If we cant get it going later today i think he should get the walkover, def more my fault than his. I'll do my best to play it today though, should be online all evening from about warmup time, but if that doesnt suit him then i think he should go through.

AdMMM

Being able to play poker in Amsterdam is baaaaaad

TommyGunne

Any prices?

cardshark202

Damn, looks like I missed laura. Been online since about 4pm, but i went off once or twice for a half hour and thats when she came looking. I'm going to bed now though, so you can give her a walk. She was able to play more often than I was, and def made more of an effort. We could try again tomorrow, but I don't want this to drag out so she can get a walk if needs be.

Ha ha - just back from there myself. Played the 5/5 game, it was so soft I couldn't believe it. The first night I did great, then the last night after 3 days of sessions was not so great !!! :mad:

My head was not as clear on the last night ! But, a complete shock that the game was so easy at 5/5 . . .

To be honest you should both be thrown out (and TommyGunne and Whiteknight as well). :pac::pac::pac::pac:

ionapaul

Russh / R4AD: did you manage to play last night? I've actually had to play the last two rounds and am now sick of heads-up poker and ready for another walk into the semis if possible!

I think the fairest would be to flip or something Danny...Got a walk in the last round and don't particularly want another one...lol...(it will only dilute my eventual winning of this thing...!)...or if Kev allows I'll play you now/tonight...

KevIRL

If ye can get the game going tonight, then great. Otherwise I'll decide in the morning.

Mr.Plough

anyone running a book for this?

cardshark202

I'm through, a tight encounter. I win 2-1. GG Laura

Congrats Reggie, and commiserations to Laura, the last of the novelty entrants in the competiton


In the other match Russh gets the walk. R4ad graciously acknowledges that Russh made the most effort to get the game played and seeing as R4ad practically operates in a different timezone to most, a walk is given.

Here's the lineups for the Quarter Final and Semi Final


Quarter Finals

1. Armanijeanss V CardShark202
2. White Knight V TommyGunne
3. Russh V Ionapaul
4. CHD V Murderer

The Semi Finals will be

A. Winner of game 1 v Winner of game 2
B. Winner of game 3 v Winner of game 4

Quarter Finals

1. Armanijeanss V CardShark202

2-0 for me. Very unfair score as both games were dingdong battles that could have gone either way, and were only decided when the blinds went too big to allow much subtlety.

Very sporting of you to be so nice, but in all honesty, you completely pwned him.

Keep missing each other by a few minutes by looks of it. If you are around before 7 I can play but might be sketchy over weekend as planning on being away. Can play on Monday evening if that is allowed!

TommyGunne

Just missed you there too unfortunately. I should be around Monday evening if thats still OK?

KevIRL

Have WK and Tommy definitely played, I don't see a result?. (If not should really give them another few days seeing as theres only a handful of games left anyway).

Whats the plans for the semi finals / final. Live/Online, best of 3/5/7 etc?

Wait a sec there! I haven't lost my game yet! We barely missed each other a few times and we plan to complete it tomorrow?

KevIRL

Sorry bout that TommyGunne, I was still in holidays mode and hadnt read through the thread properly.

Armanijeanss - the usual rules apply for the semi finals and final - best of 3 and the games may take place online or live. If both players agree to best of 5 or whatever beforehand, then thats fine too.

TommyGunne

When you round WK?

White Knight

Just back - around now if you are still?

TommyGunne

yup. pm me details

TommyGunne

TommyGunne 1-2 WhiteKnight

Get the first game in good, get thinned pretty hard in the second, and play a hand severely badly in the third! gg wp. Take it down now

Good games - both unlucky in spots. Cheers

How long do we have to play these games..?

WK and me are looking to play our SemiFinal some weeknight this week.

I suppose it'd be handy if the other semi was played this week as well, then the final could be played the following week.

(Or maybe KevIRL would prefer a 3month gap to the final so that ESPN could get to know the players).

CHD

probably play sometime this week.

Still drunk so can't play today.Maybe later if you r on, will pm you.

ArmaniJeanss

2-0 for WhiteKnight v ArmaniJeanss.

First game I played very poor, won a K8s v JJ 'race' to stay alive but WK deservedly stacked me with a set to take it.

Second game a bit more competitive but felt I never flopped anything (QQ flopping 3 overcards particularly hurt) the whole game and another set of 5s v A9 on a horrid 9549 board sealed the deal for WK.

Nice playing you and good luck in the final.

No worries man, I just thought 6 and a half weeks was long enough for you to get the semi completed. See you in the final .. or not

CHD

7 and a 1/2 should do it.

Fighting talk for the win.

Also is the Final live?? Can't remember if this was answered before.
