2011 WSOP Main Event Final Table thread Nov. 6 and 8 (tl;dr, Spoilers will get you banned!) - Page 214 - Poker News

How do you transfer 8.7 MM $ to Germany if you dont have a bank account in the US?

Do you think he will stuff the cash into two suitcases and bring it back home?

Does he have to pay US taxes?

PN:

Martin Staszko limped in from the button, and Pius Heinz raised to 7.9 million in the big blind. Staszko called it pretty quickly, the flop came {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {K-Spades}, and Heinz continued out with 8.2 million. The Czech was having none of it, though, and he raised to 17.5 million total, sending the decision back to Heinz. He spent a few moments thinking, then leaned back in his chair and sipped his water as he pondered. He shuffled chips for a bit, then leaned back over the rail to shoot a glance across the felt. A few seconds later, he announced his all in reraise for about 70 million total!

Now it was Staszko with the decision, and he doesn't normally tank for the camera. Indeed, the call came just a minute later, and the cards were on their backs with Heinz at risk.

Showdown
Heinz: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Staszko: {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

"He's ahead!" Heinz's fans began to get giddy as they leaned in and gazed up at the monitors. The ace-queen was indeed the best hand, but Staszko was drawing live to the clubs and the nines left in the deck.

Turn: {3-Hearts}. Camp Heinz burst into another celebration as their guy was just one card away from a monster double. He just needed to fade Staszko's draws.

The river was black, but it was the {6-Spades}, and Heinz and his rail enjoyed a big celebration together.

Stasko has been forced to pay off a huge double, knocking him all the way back to 44.4 million. That gives the other 161.5 million to the German, and the tides have officially turned in one fell swoop!

I think the most impressive thing is that PokerStars managed to pick the eventual winner as their only horse. Pretty good considering that Heinz was 7th in chips going in, and not a bad record for PS. Last year with only 2 choices they got it (including the chip leader going in) and this year with one pick.

Fell asleep at 4am UK time, just got up now and watched it on demand. Have to say both players played really well heads-up. Staszko is a true gent and very gracious in defeat.

that was one of the worst Final tables(three/heads up) broadcasts I have ever seen... I blame the "ICM Effect" for the horrible play.

Ben was the only one that had the right idea.

not as many as Staszko...there was a point in time around the 70-90 hand mark he might as well just announced what he had.

Congrats Pius! seems like a nice kid

thought some posters were wrong to criticize martin for his preflop limps and open min raises think this is optimal vs the smallish stack sizes like often 50 or so bb and what seemed like a high 3bet from heinz.

thought the folding of the Q high flush draw was bad just raise a lot more on the flop increase ur fold equity and its not a hard call at all if he shoves. as it was given the J54 there are ton of lesser draws (ie str8 draws, lower flush with gutter, plus hands like A5, basically a lot that martin beats) that a call is mandatory. he could just call the flop though but i like a bigger raise and hope to take it down if not just call allin and hit easy game. thought the kq shove was interesting maybe he thought heinz would fold JJ-KK given the ace, heinz sure looked like he had a hand...

as everyone else said the 72 full house fold by heinz was bad thought he was reeling at this point in match. also shoving AQ on the big allin hand was wrong unless he thought martin would raise fold flush draws which he did earlier its just that flop hits martin and he is raising the flop. yes he raised folded ten hands previous or something but that might mean he is planning on calling. again thought martin could have just called the flop bet or raised bigger. but i dunno really wasnt really paying attention all the details just watching two guys battle their asses off.

Probably nitty to say, but if I'm Lamb and I know I have to win a flip or two pretty quickly in the session in order to take down the tournament, I still think I wait until I'm at least on the good side of the flip.

Staszko was pretty impressive during the HU but I found myself getting frustrated with him that a) he kept letting Pius back in when he grabbed the lead and b) he couldn't close the deal when he did take a huge lead and managed to maintain it for quite a while.

At the same time, before his last double up when he took the lead I think Pius made an explicit decision to play for the double up instead of to just try and rebuild like he had done successfully twice earlier in the session.

At the end even though Staszko was very short I'm not sure calling with the FD and likely undercards was the best, I wonder what happened to his patience.
