Re: Doyle\'s out
[ QUOTE ]
This is so unfortunate. I don't think this is in Bloch's list of arguments regarding WPT boycotts, but it sure as hell should be. By the time it was 4 handed, it basically became a sit-and-go. I'm sure the players are grateful to the WPT for helping to increase the prize pools, but it's ludicrous that you should have to play pushbot poker when the difference in prize money between 6th and 1st is more than 1.8 million. [/ QUOTE ] Paul Phillips is done with WPT for that reason. I'm kind of surprised more pros haven't come out against it, especially with so many other $10k tournaments as alternatives. It's almost comical. In this Five Diamond main event, you have an amazingly good structure to determine spots 7th through 555th, and then when you have two-third of the prize pool on the line, to be distributed among the final six, it turns into a turbo SNG, all because the WPT guys want to go home early. They can't be bothered to work a full day, it's only a meager $6 million dollar tournament after all..

Re: Doyle\'s out
I think it is kind of silly to play deep stacks all along and the final table this way.
I mostly play turbo SNGs and multi table turbo SNGs full time. So if I made the final table, Brunson and them wouldn't have much of an advantage over me with this structure.

Antonius
It's nice to see Antonius performing well as I'm a Finn myself too. Guys background is in casino, and he moved to online poker after learning the game face-to-face. At least in Finland many think that Antonius is the best online player in the world currently, though that kind of ranking is pretty impossible to do. In a recent interview Patrik told that online poker is his job, but live tournaments are the ones that he enjoys.

Re: Antonius
obviously you guys have never played high stakes "war". if you had you wouldn't be complaining about the final table structure.

Re: Doyle\'s out
Paul Phillips is smart, but his instincts during play recently have been pretty terrible.
