His play with KJs and 27 bbs with 11 left was horrific.

If not for the live coverage, I wouldn't give two hoots about who won this, as I'd only heard of one of these guys before this tournament. But I really feel like I've been able to follow these guys through the last three or four days and have got to know which of these guys I like, all credit to ESPN on that. Lamb, Staszko and Holden would all be good for me.

Gianetti, Lamb, or Staszko

IMO these 3 guys have played the best

Phil Collins and his **** eating grin can hit the rail first for all I care, and take the boombox with you on the way out.

Despite being a Brit I have to go with Eoghan O'Dea. Lamb is one of the more overated players by the online community and is prone to making spewy plays which I've seen frequently online and I hope will be exposed to the world at the FT. Phil Collins is a way better player than him IMO.

Some odds from Sky Bet:

Martin Staszko 4/1
Ben Lamb 5/1
Eoghan O'Dea 5/1
Phil Collins 6/1
Matt Giannetti 7/1
Pius Heinz 9/1
Anton Makievskyi 9/1
Badih Bounahra 12/1
Samuel Holden 12/1

I've gone for Ben Lamb; 5/1 and a heater = money.

Its between Staszko, O'Dea & Collins for me.
Heinz & Makievski to blow up, Holdens too much to do, Bounahra outclassed.
Think Lambs prob. too far behind, dont fancy Gianetti somehow.

Staszko has a hell of a stack, so has O'Dea, I think Collins is the dark horse, but who knows, its anyones guess?
Where their seated and lady luck as ever, are going to play a huge part on who wins.

Heads saying Staszko or O'Dea because of their stacks, but have a gut feeling Collins is going to win!

Apart from the same stupid puns in the mainstream news articles that were going to report about the winner anyway?

I think betting on Sam Holden has no downside, if he busts instead of doubling you lost a longshot but if he doubles he'll have 24 millie and imo with that many chips he has a good a chance as any of them to tid.

O'Dea already backed in to 9/2, Staszko moved out to 9/2 too. I'd say that's about right. O'Dea has been very impressive in the ESPN coverage imo and I think Stazsko might be prone to getting in to too many tricky spots. This looks to be the toughest FT in a while, so that might end up exposing him though.

Tough to call though.
