I WONT MILLION - Page 6 - Poker News - News, Views and Gossip

Looks like he only entered one satellite which he won the seat from. Also saying he was a "not that successful micros grinder" is unfair considering he was a winning player up ~$6k with an abi of ~$2. Just because someone doesn't play the nosebleeds doesn't make them a losing player.

all his hard work and dedication to grinding pokerz has paid off finally

the guy is an inspiration to every micro reg

Yup, you sound very jealous indeed.

Lol, most of us micro donks don't tend to have world class poker players in our address books.

Every Donk has a chance of winning a big tourney ( Jamie Gold, Joe Cada, Moneymaker, Raymer, Peter Eastgate, Jerry Yang, Duhamel) just to name a few.

3. Go from $18,000,000 to $9,000,000 Tournament Chips in less than 30 minutes.
4. Somehow make the rest of the table believe that I "have an edge" and force them to give me an extra 50K, or I will refuse to chop.

Munchen > Kissinger

He was aggressive, and got in 5-6m with a premium hand in the blinds vs another competent player. He lost that hand which was the majority of the 18 to 9 drop. Totally unfair to base his edge off of your nonsense points. You can't blame a guy for trying to make a good deal for himself.

But in Soviet Russia world class poker players are in abundance and everybody knows at least a dozen.

Peter Eastgate wasn't a bad player at all.

Eastgate already played 25/50 before he even won the main event and must actually be one of the best players to ever win it.

Well deserved, Ryan is a professional, he should have better etiquette, especially when the online hs world is watching him in the biggest ft he's ever been at. Ruski deserved the win after the way he conducted himself, same goes for telkz too.

give you Gold Yang Moneymaker but Eastgate and Duhamel are without a doubt not donks. Cada is hard to figure out, i think he is a good player but he played the final table horrible imo. Even though i believe Gold isnt much of a player, we still have to give the credit for his win, there has never been anyone who dominated main event final table like Jamie Gold it was just unreal.

You kidding right, explain how he didnt deserve this deal, he clearly had a huge edge, he had position on 2nd in chips ,everyone besides telks were eager to deal he had a healthy stack in a deep structured mtt and if theyd looked at the chip chop numbers he would of had 58k more.

And lol at the guy who said anyone can donk a tourney and used duhamel and eastgate as examples seriously wtf planet are you on.
