Brag: local wins wpt foxwoods
 

so yeah, vela actually lives near my hometown and took down the foxwoods ME and has the trophy that i stopped in front of everyday for about 3 weeks to look at. He also has the 1.7 million..yay.

unfortunately he is an insufferable douche. He was before he won the ME and he still is now.

He showed up at the local 2/5 spot and blew off 2k pretty quickly (read: 3-4 hours).

I pulled him aside and congratulated him, he was actually at my table when mike white knocked me out (kqo > aq s nh sir). I got to asking him about durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgod.

"So, how was dwan?"
"He was a cocky little punk."

"oh really? It's probably because he's just THAT good mike."

"Nah, I wasn't impressed. When we were doing the wpt interviews pre-final table he was just shaking he was so scared."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, then he lost a few million on the first two hands. He shoved in from the button on me and i called with KJ. He had been tilty so i put him on a 9 or ten and figured KJ was really good. He rolled over AK and i looked at him and i said- "Bad news for you son is that the Jack is coming on the river." then BAM jack on the river."

seriously. this conversation happened. I wish i could somehow get him to load 500k into an online site so he could spew off his winnings to durrr. I loathe this man and hope he keeps coming around to get destroyed by people who are super average at low stakes cash NL. I need the money.

Brag: Vela wins foxwoods and lives closeby
Beat: he is a megadouche
variance: 1.7million winner showing up in wsop flannel pj bottoms for the nosebleed 2/5nl game.

definitely did, i figured it was cause the chick was really hot who was interviewing you.

I also told him how lucky he got when deeb folded KK preflop in what would have been a chop

"it wasn't that lucky, I had him covered by a ton blah blah blah I'm great weee blah blah."

i hate quoting myself, but when he was telling me this stuff. I was eyeing up his pj bottoms and listening to his babble. I looked at him with the purest form of confusion and hatred during this monologue of stupidity. He actually said that preflop he put him on a "Nine or ten" and i could feel myself dying internally.

I don't know if any of you have ever listened to somebody talk and just tried to express "i hate you" facially. That's what i was projecting.

youre just jealous because you dont have a cool million.

Re: Brag: local wins wpt foxwoods
 

i dont really see how any of this should come off as surprising, from the updates from 18 on in it was clear he ws the worst player, and typically horrible players have this mindset.

like, durrr 3betshoved over an utg opener, and to Vela that means "he shoved from the button and i put him on a nine or a ten"

....

Re: Brag: local wins wpt foxwoods
 

you think durrr could beat a wpt champion?? ha!

Re: Brag: local wins wpt foxwoods
 

i dont see this guy as the type to put money online...but hell lose 20K a month in wpts for the next 18 months...and probably lose 30-40K at the world series...a monkey could beat cash games at foxwoods so hopefully he keeps playing where OP saw him and OP takes his money

Re: Brag: local wins wpt foxwoods
 

I predict 225 replies

Re: Brag: local wins wpt foxwoods
 

Was this the guy that shoved for like 400 times the BB after Durr raised UTG when they were like 8 handed and showed AA after Durrrr folded?

bro deny it all you want but this guy can play some poker...he may have been wrong in the KJ hand but he knows a 9 or a 10 when he sees it...just look how he played a 10 here

[ QUOTE ]
Mike Vela has the button in seat 3, Deeb raises from early position to 105,000, and Vela calls from the button. The flop comes K53, Deeb bets 100,000, and Vela calls. The turn card is the 7, and both players check.

The river card is the 2, Deeb checks, Vela bets 350,000, and Deeb asks, "You bluffing, man?" Vela is silent for a while before he says, "I'll show you." Deeb says, "What are you going to show me, your bluff?"

Deeb folds, and Vela shows 108 for ten high -- a total bluff. Mike Vela takes the pot worth 510,000.

so maybe he had a slight misread but his instincts are spot on...he felt that jack...hes like mel gibson in maverick

Re: Brag: local wins wpt foxwoods
 

I hear he was also a guest star in South Park. Proof here. Thoughts, confirmations?:

Re: Brag: local wins wpt foxwoods
 

sigh this is the [censored] that sucked out on fatalerror with 17 left for effectively all his chips.

We will waffle crush this douche at every live event for now on.

Re: Brag: local wins wpt foxwoods
