BAM Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I'm really looking forward to this tonight. I wasn't happy with last years comp as Modah seemed to fluke his way through his heat and semi and then played ridiculous in the final to win it. There is some talent in tonights final - Beevers played awesome in the semi's and my hero Howard Lederer will be big favourite but I will be routing for my homey Julian Gardener to take it down, this guy can play with the best of them and he seems more focused this year with good runs at the WSOP and GUKPT and @ 7/2 I'm having a nibble.

McG Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Re: Poker Million As I mentioned in another thread, the adverts and twiddly bits of music and visual filler of London buses do get on your nerves after a while, so I'll be Sky Plussing and starting to watch when I'm out of the 32 Red tourney - about 9:05 :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Re: Poker Million Why not show a bit of faith in a fellow PL'er? I've taken the 4.8/1 about Joe Beevers. 11/4 available on Lederer with certain firms if you fancy the Professor to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereoman Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Re: Poker Million Looking like a recurring nightmare at the moment for Marty Smyth (Smyth 3/1 to be first eliminated with Cox 4/5, Flood 5/1, Beevers 8/1, Gardner 10/1 and Lederer 25/1 over at Stan James). He probably hates that seat six with a vengeance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereoman Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Re: Poker Million Mind you, Ian Cox is getting generally unplayable hands ans has thus far been passive. The odds reflect that and he's into 2/5 now with Smyth 4/1, Beevers/Flood 8/1, Gardner 16/1 and Lederer 33/1. At the rate their playing, this could finish at 2am with the first elimination after 10pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereoman Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Re: Poker Million It had to happen. Ian Cox pushes all-in with AcTh, Joe freezes the action with AsKc and Ian is the first man eliminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereoman Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Re: Poker Million Very little to to separate them right now. Odds on the second man eliminated from Stan James: Beevers/Smyth 5/2, Flood 11/4, Gardner 9/2 and Lederer 6/1 Outright odds to win from Stan James: Gardner/Lederer 5/2, Flood/Smyth 4/1 and Beevers 5/1.

stereoman Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Re: Poker Million OOOH!! Howard Lederer out second as his pocket fours fall to Julian Gardner's pocket kings. Stan James currently only has outright odds: Gardener 6/4, Smyth 9/4, Flood 7/2 and Beevers 9/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereoman Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Re: Poker Million OHHH!! Liam Flood close to elimination as he calls Joe Beevers' all-in with pocket sixes. Joe's holding pocket twos...the flop has a deuce, and the turn and the river doesn't help Liam. Liam Flood is crippled and Joe Beevers closes in on Marty Smyth's chip-lead. Liam's automatically all-in next hand against Marty Smyth, and is the third man eliminated. Probably the craziest player on the night and the one with the most guts, Liam didn't deserve that.

stereoman Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Re: Poker Million Julian Gardner close to being the fourth man eliminated. The blinds are at 20,000/40,000 and they're bloomin' lethal. After losing a fair chunk of chips to Marty there was seemingly little way back as Julian wasn't getting the cards but he's back in it as he won an all-in race against Marty Smyth as Julian turned a hearts flush. Current outright odds at Stan James: Beevers 6/5, Smyth 7/4 and Gardner 5/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereoman Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Re: Poker Million Marty Smyth close to being the fourth man eliminated after going all-in with Qs3d only to find Joe with TcTs. The flop brings a queen, the turn and rive don't help Joe and Marty survives! :loon It's a classy field that none of the competitors have shown absolutely no emotion when winning or losing.

stereoman Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Re: Poker Million Joe Beevers back in it going all-in with QhQc. Julian calls with TcTs with Marty folding a ten. Julian's got only one card to knock out Joe with but nothing helps Julian, and Joe's got back the chip-lead at Julian's expense. Julian Gardner is the fourth man eliminated as he goes all-in with ATs only to find Marty with AJd. The jack kicker plays. We're now heads-up.

stereoman Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Re: Poker Million Having followed the last four Poker Million finals, I dare say that Joe Beevers has been luckier than the last three winners. Some might quibble that Rajesh got fortunate last year but he didn't ned to have as much luck as Joe did though! :lol Great win btw anyhoo.

BAM Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Re: Poker Million Great result for golden balls - never mind the luck factor he had a definite strategy and stuck with it. Lederer was a big disappointment and seemed a little moody when things didn't go his way. Gardiner off his rocks again but played a solid game and I'm full of admiration for Smyth he got booted in the nuts so many times and he never stopped smiling. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Re: Poker Million Loved the play of Liam Flood :ok No fear, and I'm surprised how much fear there seemed to be from the other 5 - when we read all the time in basic strategy about how you need play for the win, and not to limp up another spot in the pay spine, it was surprising how weak 5 of them seemed to be... Joe Beevers sure had his fair share of luck, but thought he went through the gears best on the table (though was probably a little too "weak" at times) Smyth seemed the best at reading the situations/strength of his opponents.....

ColU_FC Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Re: Poker Million Loved the play of Liam Flood :ok I met him in Dublin last year and got to talk to him briefly. He is a lovely man. Him and Roy Brindley are my favourite pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Re: Poker Million Highlights for me were; Liam Flood. Up to his elimination he played fantastically well and was only going to lose to an outdraw. Julian Gardner. Down to 3 and when he was short stacked he really showed his fearlessness. He said that Liam Flood on his right cramped his aggressive style but it probably helped him. Martyn Smyth. Apart from Liam Flood he played the best poker. Apart from the push at the end I'm struggling to think of a mistake he made. Roy Brindley (commentating). I saw him bully a 6 seat table (in the William Hill Grand Prix I think) mercilessly and was very impressed with his play at the time but his observations and appraisals were spot on last night.
