Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

Nordberg is just a monster. He hasn't gotten the attention he deserves, but his record for the number of tourneys he has played is really impressive.

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans

Peter Feldman = Nordberg

Really sick structure. Blinds will start at 1.5-3k, and THEY EXTEND THE LEVELS FOR THE FINAL TABLE TO 2HRS!!!!

WPT, YSSCKY

Go Nordberg! You're the man, take it down.

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

So uh, Gavin Smith has some chips. I hear he can play some poker?

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

2 hrs long a the WSOPC, but only gonna be 100 minutes long the whole way through at the main event? That's kinda, i dunno, wrong?

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

1 Gavin Smith $ 907,500
2 George Abdallah $ 238,500
3 Peter Feldman $ 210,500
4 Matt Russell $ 141,500
5 Dana Diephouse $ 93,500
6 Kenny Brown $ 39,000
7 Allie Prescott $ 35,000


I gotta say, that's damn impressive, having about 55% of the chips in play 7 handed.

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

Anyone read on PokerPages about the side bet Gavin has with Allie Prescot. LOL poor kid didn't know what he was getting into 700K=poof probaly. Maybe Nordberg can save him.

Peter Feldman doubles through Gavin Smith
Peter Feldman raised to 18k from under the gun and Gavin Smith pushed in from the button. Feldman called all in for 323k and the players turned up:

Peter Feldman [K][K]
Gavin Smith [A][J]

The flop and turn came [6][4][3][8] and Smith would need one of 3 [A]'s left in the deck to win the hand. The river came [8] and Feldman took the pot to double up.

And he just knocked a guy out, he's closing in on Gavin Smith's chiplead.

18k to 323k, solid raise. How is the payout differences at this stage? Was Gavin abusing some kind of mini bubble?

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

Im not sure why Gavin Smith is not flatcalling there or making it 50-60k and folding to a push.

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

Mel, look at the stack sizes of the 4 players. There's a reason for the really big raise.

The others were so short that Nordberg probably can't call with less than KK. I guess it would depend on how lucky he was feeling.

I wouldn't call it a bad play from Gavin though.

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

nordberg is much better at coinflips than he is when a 90% favorite.

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

Ya. I guess if 4 ----> 3 is a significant pay increase it makes sense.

George Abdallah pushed in from the small blind and Gavin Smith called from the big blind. The players turned up:

George Abdallah [A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]][2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]
Gavin Smith [A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]][Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]

The flop came [A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]][6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]][5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]] leaving Smith in the lead with a [Q] kicker. The turn and river came [Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]][J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] and Smith took the pot to eliminate George Abdallah in 4th place with $129,200.

Peter Feldman doubles up
Gavin Smith raised to 25k from the button and Peter Feldman reraised to 105k from the big blind. Smith reraised to 220k and Feldman pushed all in for 580k total. Smith called and the players showed:

Gavin Smith [4♦][4♠]
Peter Feldman [K♥][K♣]

The board came [Q♣][9♦][3♦][2♠][6♦] and Feldman's pocket kings held to double him up to 1,160,000.

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

did they deal or something maybe?

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

their 15 minute break for the money presentation took 25 minutes...

I find it hard to believe Gavin would deal with an internet whippersnapper though.

Re: Nordberg in New Orleans
 

oof, cooler for nordberg. 92 against 95 on a Q952 board.
