World Speed Poker Open PPP Champ Ollieboy

PPP-Pit Boss

Hi all. We have had a very hard time holding back over this one. Ollie himself has been a star keeping stum. But we wanted to let people see the final on TV before we made the announcement. As the airing was last night, let me be the first to say.

CONGRATULATIONS OLLIEBOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the get go the heats were fantastic to watch. Ollie played trojan poker against some of the best players in Europoe. He played both his heat and the semi's short stacked. Watching the play like a hawk and waiting for his opportunity. As the levels went up so did his game. PPP is incredibly proud of him.

Watch out for this man in future. I believe he is a rising talent in the world of Poker. Well done Ollie!!

Just what i was thinking. Can buy himself into the EPT.

Ollieboy

Your right Troll, I can afford to buy in myself, but I'm not a gambler.lol

It was great fun and a big thank you to all the support and good wishes over the last 6 weeks. It was the best fun I've ever had in my life and I'm looing forward to getting the chance to defend my title next year. All the pro's were really nice and friendly to all the online qualifiers. And a big thank you to PPP and Pit-Boss for taking care of me and the other qualifiers in the Uk.

I'm hoping to play CityWest tonight, so thats were the money will go. The rest is safely in the bank. It was just over €76k Drappergent. Not a bad return on $10.

thanks lads and all the best, lets hope we have an irish winner this weekend too.

€2500 and a seat at the semi-finals for the heats alone!

Watched it last night, it was a great performance,

BTW did your man Emile Petit, hook up with Kathy Liebert in the end, he played exceptionally well, but I think she was going a bit over board towards the end .... it sounded like she wanted to be under his table rather than commentating on the game .

Anyway enough about that, well done again, well deserved.

P.S. Did you notice in one of the interview sections they had you down as being English.... :rolleyes:

blahblah06

will the show be on again

Culchie

I have to get the recording of this series !

DapperGent

That's a lot of cheese.

ntlbell

Yeah can someone with sky+ rip it to an avi maybe?

I can't get the poker channel :mad:

Ollieboy

Again, thanks lads.

I did notice the "England", but you will be glad to know when I lifted the trophy, I said, "for Ireland". Only thing I could think of at the time.lol.

Blah, its on this evening and again tomorrow evening and I've a funny feeling it will be on a few times over the next week, The Poker Channel have a habit for repeating programmes.

Kathy didnt manage to get hitch up with Emile, he also knock her out in his heat, so I think it was fatal attaction.lol. In there heats she never stop chatting to him also, everyone was pasting remarks on it too. lol.

RmG, that was me indeed, now you do the business this weekend.

Good Luck.

Einstein

hey congratulations Ollie...well done!!

blahblah06

Ollieboy

Its 5pm this evening, but I think its 7pm on the Sunday and the semi's are on Saturday again at 10pm

I'd say they will butcher it up like they did with their last series..

I look forward to their "Do it like Ollieboy" show

jimbling

congrats ollie.. great result....

I'm one of the poor saps without the poker channel as well... is there anywhere we can download it? or as ntl mention, if someone with sky+ could rip it for us... would love to see some of the action...

just thinking, might be able to call over to a friend of mine with sky this afternoon... that show at 5pm... is that the final table? ie.. with you winning and all that?
