Default World Series Of Poker Europe
Well, I'm rather bleary-eyed after pulling an all-nighter watching the live feed of the WSOPE Main Event final table.

It lasted 22 hours, the longest final table in WSOP history, and Juan Juanda bested a phenomenal field by making quad sixes to eventually defeat Stanislav Alekhin after a six hour heads-up marathon. Amazing stuff.

Scotland's Chris Elliott finished in eighth, crowd favourites Scott Fishchman, Daniel Negreanu and Bengt Sonnert were sixth, fifth and fourth, but the biggest achievement must be that of Ivan Demidov, who came third. The Russian has also made the final table of the WSOP Main Event, which will take place in November. Given the quality and depth of the fields, making the WSOPE and the WSOP final tables in the same year will go down in history as one of the greatest achievements in poker history.

Love from Christy

The heads-up lasted six hours? That is incredible for a heads-up situation.

Aye. It started about 4am and finished around 10.30am. Alekhin seemed to throw in the towel to be honest. The key hand, if memory serves, went sumpin like this:

Juanda on button - standard 3x raise, Alekhin flat calls.

Flop comes down Qc - 7c - x

Juanda pushes for 1.5x the pot.
Alekhin has Juanda covered and calls

Juanda shows Q 10 for top pair
Alekhin shows 3c 4c for a weak flush draw.

The board bricked and Alekhin was crippled. Juanda wrapped it up about 4hands later when his K6 outdrew A9, making quads on the river.

Before making the big call with 3,4clubs, Alekhin admitted that he was simply too tired, and was ready to gamble. Picked a bad spot though!

Love from Christy

Edit to say: I mean that headsup started at 4am. The final table started at 1pm yesterday. My eyes have gone all sore. God knows how exhaustipated the players must have been.

Yeah, I followed the updates (no stream this year, unlike last year).

The AA vs JQ hand heads-up was mental....and Shulman just stood impassive as if he expected the double blink on the turn and river. Nuts.

Munny is always on teh Ivey. Always. Akenhead is a fine player too, but Eric Buchman is probably the best value - 3rd in chips, and far more experienced than either of the top two.
