Can't wait to hear the crowds reaction on tv.

And the chase for the 12th bracelet comes to an end. Even with his money he won he still owes Phil Ivey money..

Quote:

Phil Hellmuth Eliminated 6th ($76,464)
Hellmuth raises to $120,000 and is called by Beth Shak. The flop comes Q

10

6

, and Shak moves all in, putting Hellmuth to a decision for all of his chips. Hellmuth makes the call and shows down A

10

, but is behind Shak's K

Q

. he next two cards brick out when they come 9

2

and Hellmulth is eliminated in 6th place. He ends up losing $109,000 to Ivey on the day, so even though he made $76,464 for sixth place he is down $32,536 on the night.

Chip Reese is obviously the greatest cash game player ever.

i won at poker last night. craziest game we've had in weeks. i ended up heads up with a guy...i started out with about 3x more chips than him, but within a few hands, i was very shortstacked. we went back and forth for a long time, with the shortstack going all in several times. and everytime one of us would go all in, we'd win with the worst hand. it was crazy. i finally won by pairing a king when he had an AJ.

8000% agree, though Johnny Moss is one legendary player that people really forget about quite a bit.

Long heads up sessions can be killers. You need quality aggression to make those things happen. Well done. What kind of dough did you win?

But for someone to say Phil Ivey is the best cash game player of all time obviously doesnt know what their talking about.

hah, $30. it's a simple $5 buy in. we do it to be social and have a few beers. if we played for high stakes, nobody would play.

Ivey is a great poker player and is highly regarded in every circle of poker. However, he needs to continue his work for another 40 years or so to get close to Chip Reese.

I agree 100%

Acreboy · 06-20-2007, 11:37 AM

That hottie Beth Shak came out 2nd.

This is my favorite game. H.O.R.S.E.

http://www.cardplayer.com/tournaments/chip_counts/7262

Mostly because its filled with people I actually know.

BigDawg819 · 06-26-2007, 12:06 AM

Well its well into the second day of the H.O.R.S.E. event and the action as well as the notable names sent to the rail are growing. My boy Allen Cunningham is top 5 in chips so far:

Acreboy · 06-26-2007, 12:14 AM

My boy Negreanu is in good position.

This will be a kick ass final table.

Nice to see Amarillo Slim back at a final table.

BigDawg819 · 06-26-2007, 12:20 AM

Negreanu took a loss and now Allen is 2nd place in chips. :D

Acreboy · 06-27-2007, 10:31 AM

Man Negreanu was up to 1.2 million in chips and is now down to under 120 thousand.

http://www.cardplayer.com/tournament...7262?day=11365

IDK if that link is up to date because it conflicts with the current chip counts.

If this is correct i'm pulling for Barry Greenstein.

With so many big names gone from the H.O.R.S.E. event: Chip Reese, Phil Ivey, Allen Cunningham, Phil Hellmuth Jr, etc, its hard to believe that Mike "the Mouth" Matusow is still in the running for the bracelet. He is my sentimental pick, but now I'm rooting for Gabe Kaplan.

jayceheathman · 06-27-2007, 01:01 PM

I had three bad plays a couple of days ago playing real money Full Tilt poker. I had poket Kings and this guy raised like$10 on the flop only on a draw. I then got a straight of 9,10,j,q, k and called his $20. Only to find out he had Ace, King so his straight barely beat mine. If it wasnt for the queen on the river I would have won

Another time I was running low on chips and went all in with pocket queens and only to be called by someone with pocket aces. There was only 4 other people at my table so whats the odds of that happening? He destroyed me by getting another Ace on the river.

Another bad time was I was big blind with 7,2 off suit and 2 other 7's come up on the board. I got happy and started betting a lot and two other people kept calling. One of the two had the other 7 and beat me with a higher kicker.

That's Poker! :D

First of all on the first occasion, that will happen unless you can either bet him off the draw or read the board and place him on a straight or a big draw so muck your hand before you lose a ton of money.

Second occasion, hell that's Poker and nothing you can do about it. You played the hand right but got beat.

Third occasion, you were playing 2,7 offsuit and betting trips and people are calling you got to figure one of them has the other seven and obviously is going to out kick you.

Its getting close to the finish, I'm shocked that Matusow did as well as he did. I know he can be a good player but still I'm shocked. I'm still backing Gabe Kaplan but watch out for Barry Greenstein.
