Funny thing if Chip wins, he'll get lots of attention, then go back to crushing cash games.

[/ QUOTE ]

As I recall, Chip is the guy who said that he only started playing tournaments over the last few years because his kids were asking him why they never saw him on TV.

I'm almost positive this was said by Chau Giang.

Hard to believe he had a bet with Paul Phillips on day 1 about which of them would be the first one out.

[/ QUOTE ]

No. Paul said in his blog that if either of them was the FIRST ONE KNOCKED OUT, then they would pay the other $1K.

In other words, if Paul got KO'd before anyone else in the tourney, he had to pay Doyle $1K, and vice versa.

Anyway, I had no idea Bechtel was this well-rounded. Where does this guy polish his game? He's sort of an enigma.

They both said it - Chau said it at the WSOP Omaha event that he won, and Chip said it at the WPT final table he made.

200-1 on Antonius is a terrible, terrible bet.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's laughable. I'd bet against him, but then I realized I'd have to put up $5K to win $25 so it doesn't seem very worth the time. Should be more like 400-500 to 1.

The only way to bet against him would be to bet on everyone else. Which would be a very bad series of bets because of all the vigorish.

For everyone who likes what they see at this event, Full Tilt has HORSE SNG's up to $50 that go, $200's that go when a pro sits down and MTT's with satellites.

Let Doyle win this and die in excitement in the same second... and Barryg1 take over the throne...

The $1.7 million first prize would be the biggest of anybody's career at the final table. Of the 9 left, 5 of them have had at least one tourney cash for $1 million or more.

I'm glad Antonius is on the ropes to be honest

The prestige of this tournament should go to a player with a long, proven track record of B&M play, not an internet hotshot
