what a superb night of poker and a great story with marty smith winning

down to 15K ( 1.5 BBs) after his a k lost to floods pocket kings. (very poor call IMO with a k) especially with he chip stacks and blinds, to call an all in, for pretty much all you're chips when u r behind is poor. helmuth would have folded a k without even thinking about it which is why he is one of the greatest holdem players in the world

although marty did get lucky a few times with floods amatuer move with 45 when marty had no chips and the scandis dreadful all in with a j on flop of k j 5 but it was still superb stuff and a very deserved winner

i had £20 on marty smith 1st and eoghan o'dea 2nd @ 16/1 and £20 on eoghan o'dea 1st and marty 2nd @ 16/1

thought that my £40 was down the swanny when he went to 15k, but once ciaran o'leary went out in 3rd to leave marty and eoghan heads up £340 was sent my way

I didnt think it would be that good after seeing the final table line up but what a great nights poker it was.

I fancied Smyth to win but never had a bet until he went to 115/1 after getting back to 45k in chips...

Laid off a bit at 2/5 just before the heads up so made a nice little profit...

Think he should give Flood a few quid for thats shocking call with the 4/5...

And yes i thought a strange call for what looked like being his tournement with the AK so early on....

Sometimes as they say....when your names on the trophy....

I was in the pub and only saw the last 20 mins. I saw him hit the Q, I think it was I was a bit drunk, on the river when he was all in and a 2/1 underdog. I think if it had happened to you guys you would be shouting "bad beat" Does this not make him lucky?

very lucky PT...but dont you find the players who win quite a lot always seem to get lucky wether its live or online...

where did you get 115/1 on marty?

just after he lost ak vs kk and went to 15k in chips ladbrokes (the stingey feckers) had him @ 16/1

and this is 15k in chips not 45k you backed him at

ladbrokes are a joke when it comes to odds

[Tony2005]

i backed him on the exchange after the 45 all in against flood...
