Who lost 5 Million in Bobbys Room/Doyle Angling PA? - Page 4 - Poker News

Doyle is the biggest hustler:
So please don’t call me a welcher, Patrik, but I have to amend my golf challenge. The tees have to be ‘where Doyle sez’ just like our poker match. I’ll have to start up 100 yards or less each hole because I just can’t turn on the ball. I have to hit it with my arms but hopefully my putter will bring me in. I am sure Patrik’s nerves are much steadier than mine so this will probably suit him. Speaking of Poker….I’m in Bobby’s Room every day so if Patrik would like to warm up on some of the games I am going to choose, I am available anytime J - DB

You forgot to cut and paste the part about him needing leg surgery badly.

Then why not just say, he's the best player in Africa?

this really made me laugh for some reason

I cant help but wonder now, whos the best player in East Africa?

In light of recent events there's a very good chance it's this guy:

But he's an angle shooter imo.

Since there are a few players in North, South and Central Africa...

And i guess some people in East Africa do play underground. or in tents. or wherever.

Geez... you can't take all the seriously, now can you?

That pretty much says it all. Alledgedly.

I'm so sure Sammy Farha teared up at the poker table.

why is that hard to believe? he was the most emotional player on HSP hands down. if sammy is worth 50 million he lost 10% of his net worth in one trip, that's pretty rough.

It's hard to believe for several reasons. For one, Doyle obviously wasn't talking about a single player, so the $5 million figure is likely way off. Even if he did lose in the $1-2 million range, I'm confident he's done it before and wouldn't be that shaken by it. We've also been lead to believe that if any poker player has the financial backing to withstand those kind of downswings, it's Sammy Farha.

Plus he's Lebanese. Lebs don't cry, they cut.

I also don't know how you figure he was the most emotional player on HSP. Whenever he was down, he'd just rebuy with a frown on his face. Most of the time he was laughing, regardless of how we was doing.

It's barely impossible to lose $5M in 2-3 days at Bobby's room unless they played 1K/2K PLO deep and uncapped which hasn't happened for a while and we would've heard about the game.

Do you mean nearly impossible or barely possible? Because I don't think you mean barely impossible.

Is that possible?

I hope Doyle busts PA in both poker and golf but it seems that the op's reference to 500,000 lost was a total which could have referred to more than one person Of course Guy could lose it and not blink an eye Damn why didn't i invent that, oh yeah No talent Sigh

I too wonder if some of these posters have ever set foot outside their parents' basements. There seems to be a significant lack of street smarts and knowledge in how the real world works. This is good.
