How do you lose a million chips just like that.. she worked so hard to get them all and now nothing.. that is heart breaking to watch I cant imagine how she feels.


It's poker, it sucks but she's used to it, she's a pro.
There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!

lol if kiwi's stacksize is small i would fear for his life at this tournament.

and as for rousso tournaments are essentially donkfests and you need to run really good to place high in the money. Hopefully kiwi gets a little lucky here.

Not really, usually when you are on last foot, you can go all-in with mediocre hand but someone who will call you will not be a donkey in these kind of tournamants. Maybe you are talking about non-8mil dollars event.

Kiwi is pretty small stacked. Oranges chips are much more valuable than the yellow, he doesnt have many orange!

why did Shaq rap when he was already a basketball star

if you were a baller at poker you wouldn't find a hobby you enjoyed doing and were good at?

Yes... But it costs $10k buy-in for WSOP ME, MLG only cost $70. If we have $10k high roller tournament for SC2, the prize pool will be insane!

So Kiwi is guaranteed like ~$24k at this point in the tournament, right?


It's hard to fathom for most people but close to mincashing after getting to day 4 in the ME is a pretty awful feeling. Kiwi in all likelihood doesn't have all his own action and will also (like any good tournament player) not give a flying shit about payout rises unless he's super short and there's some weird ICM consideration, otherwise he'll be taking big risks with no qualms if it means having a better chance at winning the whole thing.

Yeah SC2 is very popular with a lot of poker players.

Is Kiwi backed? Did he sell action? Sat in? Direct buy? Anyone know?
