Best of luck to our man Marco this evening. He's coming back pretty short, but not massively different to Eric Cloutier who went from having 15,000 chips at the end of day 1 to finishing day 2a second in chips overall, so anything's possible. C'mon Marco, get it done!!! To get to know the man, here is a nice interview he did with Father Hen at the end of day 1d. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6tfrir9_h0 Posted by Sky_Des
I just interviewed him, he's cool, & comfy, & feels no pressure. He said playing a short stack is MUCH easier than playing deep, & I agree.
I also reminded him that Will began yesterday with 30,000, & ended up with 150,000. So there's no reason why Marco cannot turn 12k into 60k, given a bit of luck.
I do not want Marco feeling "in the shade" due to Will's achievements so far, so I told Marco this is a Team Effort, & we will all share in Will's success. Except for the money.
I'll keep you Posted on this Thread as to Marco's count.

Tony He must remember hes there to play HIS game and not be bothered what Will has done. His game is good and we are all behind him in a big way. Go break a leg Marco. Please pass this onto him. col
Whilst Tikay is running around he has asked me to let you all know thats after one hours play Marco is down to 5000 chips. Im sure he will update you all shortly with more news.

Come on Marco, chip and a chair, when theres chips theres hope!
At last, Marco finds the hand he's been waiting for - A-Q - & the dominated Customer he needed, with A-6. So all was well - until the pesky 3-outer fell. So Marco is OUT. Cruel game this poker. He got his money in good, he could do no more. He's conducted himself, often in adversity, with great dignity, & has been a perfect Ambassador for Sky Poker. We can ask no more. He also made himself available for all our interviews & stuff, top bloke him. Posted by Tikay10
Great effort Marco, ul m8. you should be proud and youve had the time of your life innit.
The small stack always loses to the big stack in the end. Unlucky Marco, as you know - there's always next year. Are we going to get updates on Will#'s mate with the 65K starting stack?

He had 67,000 last time I looked, I'll go & take another butchers now, & report back.
Hi Tikay and all sorry to see Marco go out, as a recreational / average player the guys out there with you wont know me as i dont play at their level but i have enjoyed watching their progress and respect their acheivements
I'm afraid Ant had a bit of an accident 1 hour into level 7, the 2nd level of the day.
He was confident he had a read on one opponent and fired a decent bluff bet on the river, unfortunately the Villain Pushed all-in and Ant could not call.

Do you know who I am?

Anthony has about 81,000, & seems to be in control, & comfortable
He is a "thinking player", & knows where he is in a hand, who's at it, who's not.
He was confident he had a read on one opponent and fired a decent bluff bet on the river, unfortunately the Villain Pushed all-in and Ant could not call.
He was down to around 31000 at dinner.
Will get you an update in a moment
