Just as we brought you news of Scott Montgomery's demise, the last remaining Full Tilt Poker Red Pro can also been seen wandering the rail.
Steve Yea had his stack in the middle mucking his hand when his opponents caught good with a on the flop and the river. Three of a kind would be too good for Yea and he can now spend his day on more pressing matters- like golf.
As Yea's opponent was stacking his new chips one of the players turned to him and said "That was actually unlucky you know."
"Why!", laughed the player as he stacked his chips after his lucky hand.
"Cause if that was online you would have got your buy-in back and a t-shirt!", replied the player alluding to what happens when you knock out a full tilt pro on their site.
He will have to be happy with the shirt on his back and taking all of Yea's chips.
Scott Montgomery is no longer at his seat, apparently hitting the rail shortly after he was crippled. We dont have the details of the hand but with the rest of the Full Tilt team out playing golf it could be straight to the fairways for Montgomery.
The numbers are in and they arent quite as impressive as we would have expected.
Only 86 players made the trek onto the felt to take part in todays rebuy event, down on last years 100 plus field.
We have been informed that Full Tilt Poker is having an excursion to one of Melbourne's best golf courses today to enjoy the sun before the grind of the Main Event kicks off which does account for some of the lacking numbers.
The prizepool will still be impressive though, as the eighty-six players dished out the cash for 255 rebuys. The prizepool will be announced as soon as possible so we know what these kids are playing for!
Don't we all want to be recognized as the best at something? Aything, really. You could be the best in the world at skip-rope. Not the best claim to fame but atleast you could say you were better than everybody else. It can be argued that Australian cricket champion Shane Warne is the best spin bowler in the world. But right now theat means very little as just like every other poker player you aim to be the best there is.
With a flop showing , Warne checked to his opponent who made it 600. A call and a turn would come.
On the turn came the and a couple of checks.
The river showing the and Warne was enticed to lead out for 950. He got his opponent to fold and took down the pot.
Could Shane Warne ever be considered the best poker player? Well ask yourself this, could Phil Ivey ever be considered the best spin bowler in the world?
Scott Montgomery was faced with a raise from the under the gun player directly to his left. It was 2,300 for Montgomery to call but with his opponent only having a few thousand behind Montgomery decided to push his stack. The play folded back around to the aggressor who eventually made the call and put his tournament life on the line.
Montgomery:
Opponent:
Always the way, isnt it?
Board:
Always the way, isnt it?
Montgomery couldn't hold on and moves down to around 2,000.
Players are back from the break with blinds at 50/100. Levels will now last an hour. The rebuy period is over so an allin play could be the end of your day. Stay tuned for chip counts.
It's break time as players have spent all that they can adding on and now they have to be happy with the stacks that they have because there will be know more purchasing of chips.
From now on players will have to accumulate chips the old fashion way, with solid play and suck-outs!
There will be 20 minutes and then players will back and ready to try and survive the bust-outs
The clock has been stopped and a quick break is in order as players decide if they are going to single, double or triple add-on.
Some players have already spent multiple thousands on rebuys, others have been luckier, but the value of buying chips cannot be overlooked as most experienced players get their money out and take the extra add-ons.
