yeah just read it! this mof****** is on tilt now, at least it sounds like at pokernews live coverage... no stream available guys?

No good deed goes unpunished.

Isn't there a website/thread of people who are reputable players? A similar one should be get started for players who you should never trust/deal with.

Doubt it considering this is their first ever event.

Seidel is a Sicko
Posted 25 minutes ago by donpeters • Level 21: 15,000-30,000, 5,000 ante

Erik Seidel raised to 72,000 from the cutoff seat and Chino Rheem called from the button. The flop came down AAK and Seidel fired 105,000. Rheem took a few moments and then called to see the 7 fall on the turn. Seidel fired again, this time making it 180,000. Rheem leaned forward and checked out Seidel's stack. He then took another look at his holecards before studying some more. After another two minutes or so, Rheem announced a raise and made it 405,000 to go.
After the turn raise from Rheem, it was Seidel's turn to go into the tank. He studied for a minute or so and then made the call. The dealer landed the 4 on the river and Seidel checked. Rheem took some time to himself before reaching towards his chips and pulling out a chunk. After shuffling and cutting some of his stack, Rheem announced that he was all in, having Seidel covered. Silence came over the crowd as Seidel sat in the tank for a couple minutes. Rheem's rail was on their feet anxiously awaiting what was happening.
After a couple of minutes [on epicpoker.com they claim Seidel tanked for 6 mins], Seidel adjusted himself in his chair and apologized to the table for taking so long. "Sorry guys," he said before studying for a bit more. Seidel had what looked to be approximately 725,000 behind. Finally, Seidel announced a call.
Immediately, Rheem tapped the table and Seidel tabled the 75 for two pair, aces and sevens. All Rheem could do was muck and began to count down the chips to send over. Seidel's stack was counted down to 740,000 and Rheem sent it over.
After sending over the chips, Rheem stood up, turned to his rail and said, "If I saw his hand, I'd do it again."

Looks like Seiborg is gonna rid the world of evil once again

3 handed now, the clearly 2 superior tournament players and Chino as the short stack

Place 3, $360,970

how much % of his debts could he pay back with this money? some guess?

they are playing a game of which I am not familiar.

Prediction time. Mercier wins (good player and mega rungood)



edit: Maybe he doesn't run as good as I thought? He only has one other 7 figure score.

my guess is 20-25%

+1
forgot my guess, im in the 35% area, would think he have a cool milly debts on players!

Is this where Chino makes a deal of some sort with the remaining two players and doesn't tell his backers/creditors the full details?

all i have to say is if i final table the main event, i will never be in the position to borrow money ever in life

well if u´re an little chinese crackbitch, u´ll be broke after 1-2 yrs, even with 2.5 milly cashes nvm

If 9th place paid $1,000,000 and you were staked for 50% you'd end up with roughly 350k after taxes. It's very conceivable you could get short of funds even after a 350k score.

Oh Mercier....

Straight Flush vs. Ace-High Flush
Posted < 1 min. by donpeters • Level 22: 20,000-40,000, 5,000 ante
Erik Seidel min-raised the button to 80,000 and Jason Mercier called out of the big blind to see the flop come down a monotone . Mercier checked and Seidel checked.
After the landed on the turn, there would be no more free cards given. Mercier fired 95,000 and Seidel called to see the river, which produced the .
Mercier bet 215,000 and Seidel paid him off. Mercier showed the for a flopped flush that turned into a straight flush. Seidel showed the and then mucked.

FYP

fyp

No deals are allowed in Epic according to rules..how to enforce dont know

OOOOOPs! Thanks guys..

what you guys said made sense. i just cant imagine the lifestyles some of these guys live to make so much money but burn it all fast. i mean if i have a 350k liferoll im putting 250k in the bank for life expenses. and have 100k poker bankroll for 5/10nl. i mean once you take out being greedy then you know that super high stakes are sick and really not needed unless your super rich and thats then considered fun. but for me 1000nl is just fine for a nice life.

get mad much? take a deep breath and tell us how much u lost lending to a poker player. or if u never lost any $ to one, then STFU. show some class, u sound worse than what u describe. bad look.

The way it works in poker and in some areas of life is that people who think like you don't make big scores. It is the same thing with people who used to say that they would get knocked out in 10 seconds by Mike Tyson like Michael Spinks did. The problem is that they would never be in a position to get paid millions to get knocked out by Tyson.

It is kinda the same thought process, and it is that thought process that generally keeps them from being in that once-in-a-lifetime spot. There are, of course, some who can do exactly what you stated. Not many in poker, though.

Poker news latest update title for the Epic event. "Rheem-ing the Competition". haha
how appropriate considering the recent revelations made about him.

Would be sick if they made a deal on the side and than Chino goes on to win and keeps the whole 1mil.
