Just had to share it...hehehe.

I raised 2x the BB pre flop he called.
He checked after the flop,
I bet the minimum and he flat calls.
And I push on the turn...he calls.

Congrats to WPT Philippines winner Bryan M.

2006-10-17T23:32:00.000+08:00

Yup, a guy named Bryan M. won the first WPT Philippines event held yesterday. And no, it wasn't our Bryan Mercado but Bryan Malantic.

But seriously, from everyone at 110 poker, congratulations to Bryan Malantic and everyone who moneyed and congrats to PBT, ACF and ABSCBN for putting up a great tournament.

Sept 30 Recap: Neither wind, nor rain...

2006-10-03T00:34:00.001+08:00

Saturday , 2 days after Milenyo.
When the power came back, so did the Poker.

Here are the results:
(Kindly comment for corrections, it was a long night eh)
Game 1
1st - Bryan Brunson a.k.a Mr 120 a.k.a Mr. Reraise with Pocket 2s
2nd - 72offsuit
3rd - PairJordan

Game 2 (Deep Stacks)
1st - PairJordan
2nd - 72offsuit

Game 3
1st - Donkey Call Jr.
2nd - PairJordan
3rd - ???

Game 4
1st - "Insert nickname here" Vianca
2nd - 72offsuit
3rd - Chewy "The Prince of Jaipur"

Highlights:
Bryan Brunson paid for all the pizzas after moneying at the ACF cash games earlier in the afternoon (where he got his new nickname Mr. 120).

For the first time, 110 had a deep stack tourney with 4k starting stacks (dapat 5k, di naman dumating yung iba eh)

***
How would you play it?
PairJordan(UTG) raises to 180(3x the BB) preflop
Bryan B. reraises to 360
72offsuit(CO?) re-reraises to 1k+
PairJordan calls
Bryan B. folds
72 has KK
PJ has QQ
and Bryan B. said he folded 22!!!! (reraise with 22?????)

Flop was 2-x-x
Turn was 2
River was x
***

"Insert nickname here" Vianca won the Final game going heads up with 72. Not liking the PottyMouth monicker, Vianca is now accepting suggestions for her new Poker nickname. Among the early suggestions were: Imburnal, Kuya Herms, Septic Tank Vianca...

Next week, 110 south, tentative venue is at Sid Farha's house. See you! Sana may sisig!

Bryan Brunson goes deep in ACF HeadHunter Tourney

2006-09-12T15:16:00.000+08:00

Bryan Brunson busted out in the bubble of the HeadHunters Tourney at the ACF last Saturday. The sole 110 representative took out a couple of people on his way to an 11th place finish, just missing the final table and the money (9 places paid). Being the shortest stack with 11 players remaining, he was forced to wait for good cards to push with, but they simply didnt come and he was eventually forced allin on the BB.

After the game, Bryan wasnt too dissapointed after collecting 1k for the 2 people he busted out and because it was a good result for him finishing that deep in the tournament of 70+ participants.

Highlight: (actually ito lang kasi nakita ko)

With 15 players left, Bryan pushes all in with wired Jacks and someone calls with Asia Agcaoili. The flop comes x-J-x, turn and river are rags.
And the crowd goes wild... The Aces just got cracked.
"Galing mo naman Bry, alam mong lalabas yung Jack dun" "May milagro nga hehehe"

Anyway, congratulations to Bryan for a well played tourney. Next time ITM na.

August 26 Recap: Seattle Ed brews up First Tourney Win

2006-08-28T21:53:00.000+08:00

110 Poker South - SHET Results
Game 1
Winner: Seattle Ed
2nd Place: 72 Offsuit

Game 2
Winner: PairJordan
2nd Place: Seattle Ed

Game 3
Winner: 72 Offsuit
2nd Place: Seattle Ed

The Southside version of 110 Poker saw Seattle Ed and 72offsuit take over the felt as one or both players ended up in the money in all 3 games. Barely a month since he first rubbed the red felt of 110 Poker, Seattle Ed won his First tournament beating 72offsuit heads up in the first game.

In the second game, Seattle Ed again got into the final two, this time against "sleepy" PairJordan. After a relatively long heads up battle that saw numerous chip lead swings, Semi-Amateur PairJordan squeezed out a victory.

The third game was a rematch between 72offuit and Seattle Ed, but this time 72offsuit redeemed himself from his 1st game loss, with a victory in the final game.

Highlights:
Newly trained Rita "not Avila" played her first tourney.

When some of his friends showed up during the second game, Sid Farha transferred the reins of his huge stack to "PottyMouth" Vianca. And in classic method acting form, PottyMouth played hands that only Sid Farha would play exclaiming before every action "Si Sid ako! Sige Call!" Eventually reducing the huge stack to less than one third of its original size.

***Thanks to Sid Farha for accomodating us and providing dinner, beer and of course...the Sisig! (Remember to bring some when we play in Makati hehehe)

Next week... back to 110 Makati!

August 19 Recap: "BK" Alvin and Sid Farha Dominate

2006-08-21T05:30:00.000+08:00

The August 19 edition of 110 Poker was totally dominated by Bomba King Alvin and Sid Farha. After not playing for a couple of weeks, Alvin came back with the vengeance by winning the 1st game beating Sid in heads up play.

The 2nd game saw the aggressive play of Alvin and Sid pay off as they steadily increased their stacks, even birthday boy 72offsuit and "local poker superstar" Donkey Call Jr. was victimized at one point or another by the two. Bryan (Brunson?) who already had his fair share of bad beats earlier at the ACF tourney didn't fare well either and went to sleep on the couch when he busted out. PairJordan was frustrated time and again by the two that he threatened to go back to playing billiards and quit poker. And just like a replay, Sid and Alvin ended up heads up with Bomba King winning again.

With the 2nd game ending at around 1 am, the usual question came up... one more game? And so the chips were distributed, buyins collected and a third game began. Finally, Alvin's streak was broken as he busted out 3rd. And for the first time, someone other then Sid and Alvin got into heads up play. "Local poker superstar" DC Jr. broke into the money going heads up with Sid Farha, and DC proving his status as a poker star won the Heads up to take home 1st place.

***Editor's note: My utmost apologies to DC Jr. for getting the result of Game 3 wrong. ***

So goes another edition of 110 Poker SHET...
