"My god, they shot him!"
"Hot Lips, you nincompoop, it's the end of the quarter!"

Looks like she is getting pwnd today:

After Craig Marquis raised to 280,000 Ylon Schwartz called and Tiffany Michelle made it 900,000 to go from the button. Marquis folded but Schwartz again called. The flop came Qc8c2c and Schwartz moved all in. He had Tiffany covered and she gave up her hand. Ylon is now up to 9.4 million while Michelle is down to 4.6 million.

I suspect that Ylon is not entirely sold on the concept of "TM at FT is great for poker". Of course, I may have it completely wrong. He had the nut flush and didn't want her to lose any more chips. Yeah, I think that's it!

Come on now, what could be better for poker than a player who would inject months of some desperately needed "style over substance" hysteria into the final table marketing, let alone one being sponsored by such an honest, upstanding online room like UltimateBet? They should be letting TM rake 5% of every pot!

Seriously though, she's getting beat up pretty bad there. She's on the verge of falling out of the "Green Zone". They must be fearing the worst for her over at Pokernews.com, because they're looking for any last chance to cram her name onto the blog roll with such riveting pieces of news like "Tiffany is eating chicken and french fries AS WE SPEAK!"

What do you guys about TM's little ego trip, i heard she's been going around talking about how great she plays and how shes known she's always been that good just hadn't had an oppurtunity to show. Girl doesnt realize she's been hit with the deck in her face. Forget TM, i feel really bad for Mikey, he was by far the best player left, AJ vs A9 on AAx9x board

To all the "oh wow, I can't believe she's touting UB" people,

Can you please put that gripe aside long enough to realize that if she wins this touranment is will be the greatest thing to happen to the poker world since Chris Moneymaker (if not ever)?

That's certainly your opinion, and you're welcome to have it. Assuming you are talking about an influx of female players into tournament poker as a result of a Tiffany victory, do you have any evidence that these will actually enter the open tournaments and not the segregated ones? The whole purpose of "female only tournaments" was to bring new players into poker, and what percentage of the main event this year was female? Around 3%, and they represented more than that of the money finishers -- a pretty strong indication that the supposed influx of 'female dead money' by giving women preferential treatment just isn't happening; they're staying at the level where they get the preferential treatment, and the best female players get to choose from higher ROI/lower entry segregated tournaments or lower ROI/higher entry open tournaments.

*IF* Tiffany's victory were to result in the elimination, once and for all, of segregated poker tournaments, you *may* be correct; I say "may" because we have to ask, will it be worth the cost? A player being hyped through the roof for no other reason than her gender and comeliness? Such "style over substance" hype is not exactly something poker is short of these days.

calling clock when there is 9 million on the line is quite immature. I don't see how anyone could cheer for her at this point.

She seems to have a huge ego.. and is decked out in UB attire. Hope she busts next.

Um ... I think the person in question sat there for over 5 min before she called the clock on them.

Either you got it or you don't. Some ppl just stall to try to use the that to survive even longer.

Personally, depending on the blind structure, 5, 10 min max is all I'd give another player at a table I'm at, before I'd call a clock on them as well.

This because while I'm not losing money, I'm not making any either, and the blinds and antes are outragous at this leve.

Tiff, Slow down girl! Don't lose focus now!

Well, strictly speaking, you're making $ equity, but not chip equity.

And yes, I think after five minutes, calling a clock is reasonable.

This topic needs to be renamed "The Official Michael Jackson Lookalike Thread".

Tiffany eliminated in 17th, the question now is: Does Tiffany still have a job with Pokernews?

It has FT bubble written all over it. Hope I'm wrong.

Whoops. Not quite.

does anybody know how old she is ?

EDIT: hmpf..found it.. 24

while her winning would have been great for poker (more woman....juicy) I just could not bring myself to root for her.

I boycotted PXF when Rizen signed with ub, so it would have been wrong to support her now.

i honestly dont think 5 minutes for a 9million chip decision is THAT horrible. A lot of money on the line.

Anyway...nice run, gg, etc.

Shame she didn't make it to the final nine.

There's a video interview on her on the Pokernews main page (from before start of the day I guess). Why is she hiding the UB logo with her hand all the way through???



Bit weird, seeing as it's also on her cap.

http://tv.pokernews.com/featured-vid...le+/1667900626

Yeah weird. I suggest that her bad day today (Day 7) was due in part to an accumulation of pressure most of which she brought upon herself. Being a young attractive female and a reporter for PokerNews was going to already get her plenty of attention. Signing up with UB added more heat and I really think it's wore her down. I reckon the strain was showing in that video.

Is there any chance she forgot about the UB patch on her cap? She's more aware of the one on her chest, so she covered that one up, but like many poker players, a cap is almost like permanentlty attached to your head, and maybe she simply forgot to take it off.

ETA. I had a thought. She felt that her contract with PokerNews didn't stop her from signing with UB. If Tony G is pissed with her, maybe he could point out that his agreement with her for staking didn't include her receiving ANY of her winnings. I don't know what the fallout will be, but if I was her, getting staked by Pokernews and Tony G, I wouldn't have ****ed with that relationship.

PokerNews Consider LEgal Action against UB and Tiffany Michelle!!

Don't mess with Tony G!

That's because it is assumed standard.

The people at poker news have to be the biggest idiots in the world if they didn't see this coming. Her boyfriend is a shill for UB and is on Duke and Helmuths show "Best damn poker show". This just shows how desperate UB is getting to get the name out there.

'Contingency sponsorship' is basically a gigantic crock of poo, because it means you wear two FTP patches FOR FREE, and only get paid $10k IF you make the featured table. And Oliver gets a nice 10% of that for getting you this wonderful deal. 'WHEW!!!' indeed.

The cap was cropped out of the picture for a good part of the interview, and she probably asked/hoped that it would be cropped out for all of it.

I'm definitely no fanboy, but for God's sake, how can people not see there is now "owning" or "getting beat up" in this hand?

Jesus, the range of hands she can have here to fold to a push is huge, and so is the range of hands with which her opponent can very safely push-bluff or semi-bluff.

When will the poker world finally be rid of Oliver?
