$5200 WCOOP HORSE Event

Wow. Talk about a who's who of the online poker world. Fischmann, Brenes, Mercier, Raymer, Moneymaker, and more. This should be a great tourney to rail.

Go Isabelle!

I'll be playing this event. I mustered up enough to play in it.

5200 play chips right?

Don't you mean Go JD?

Robbie Robb · #4 09-30-06, 05:28 PM

Well, if JD were playing in it, then HELL YA! I'd be rooting for him. But since he's only playing in tomorrows $2600 ME (hopefully!), I can root for him tomorrow.

I wonder why they even bother to "guarantee" money for these things. I mean, $100k guaranteed for a $5000 event? Were they really expecting less than 20 players???

With 175 players registered, the prize pool is $875,000. If they had guaranteed $1 million, I'll bet there still wouldn't have been an overlay, and even if there was, SO WHAT? They can afford it.

Glancing through the field now - that is one sick list. That hs to be the highest % of pros I've ever seen in an online tourney.

The best thing about this tourney is the complete lack of Observer Chat.

Robbie Robb · #7 09-30-06, 06:15 PM

Agreed. By guaranteeing the $1M instead of $100K there probably would have been a lot more entrants.

Table 3 or something like that was just sick. I recognized 4 of the 8 players as being well respected players in the online/B&M realms.

I see you're railing as well. I would wish them luck if I could...

I just stopped by and sai GL to a few people. I'll rail tonight when it's more interesting (Final Table, for sure). It's way too early right now. The standings have hardly even changed, and I don't think anyone is even remotely close to busting... The chip leader has only added about 25% to his stack.

OK, I don't even know what the hell they are talking about, but it's not THIS tourney.

Ah!!!!!!!!! Duh - it's the Limit tourney that is down to the Final Table. Don't mind me.

I see Gavin Smith is at the Final Table.

Sounds ok and up to the min to me ?

Robbr25 · #11 10-01-06, 03:46 AM

Agree I don't know what side topic they are talking about.
They should probably actually talk about the game

Talking Poker · #12 10-01-06, 04:00 AM

Robbie Robb sure is gonna be pissed when he wakes up and sees what he missed tonight.

Down to 7 now - Isabelle is currently the short stack, but it's a very healthy short stack.

Robbie Robb · #13 10-01-06, 09:15 AM

I'm just happy that Isabelle represented! Good for her! There were a TON of big names from both the B&M world and online world. She did well!

Chad Brown takes it down! IMO, he's one of the most underrated poker pros out there.

I was almost SURE that was Daniel's screen name, but after doing some research, that's not him. I even found the old Bahamas thread where I said it was "slim something," but I'll be damned if I can find the whole name anywhere now.
