1st 15,936
2nd 10,188
3rd 7,158
4th 5,225

All in Euro's of course

The Klup has virtually lost his voice....

We all feel like winners today!

Ola Brandborn exits in 4th with 5,225 Euro's after his QQ was beaten by A2s, Ola makes trips on the turn but Tonu makes a straight on river.






Wants his own photo evidence so we can google it in future [;)]

Seppo doubles up off Tonu again when he calls on the turn for all his chips on a Q high board with AQ and Tonu only has K9, no K on river.


What a legend, still 2nd behind Tonu but the forums adopted son is now a real flying Finn.

Seppo's two double up hands...

Great play from Tonu again where he bets just the right size bet to make Seppo call his AAA66 full house.



Seppo's face says it all, can he really have that hand?

Jorg Perleberg goes out in 3rd and wins 7,158 Euro's when he runs his AT into Seppo's AA and despite a straight draw on turn goes out.

Excellent work Dave, really makes for a good read. We need more forumites to win things though. The Finnish guy was on my table for the first 12 or so levels - as mentioned, he played a great game so was delighted to see him perform well.

As they sat back down for heads up!!

Right now it's all over I am going to donate some on the cash tables as I have not touched a card all weekend but have watched so much.

I hope everyone has enjoyed reading the blog as much as I have writing it.

Goodnight and good luck to everyone!

I leave you with a photo of me and the new love of my life!! [;)][;)]

Betfair Poker Live! Tallinn 2011 Main Event - Triumph on Home Turf



The final table of Betfair Poker Live! Tallinn 2011 main event, that lasted about six hours, became the shortest in the history of popular series. All the finalists were in belligerent mood and did not think too long over important decisions. Before the start of the final table many considered Ola Brandborn from Sweden, who has the victory in 2008 Swedish championship under his belt, to be an outstanding favorite. The Swede started right off the bat, trying to set his own rules and dictate the play from the very beginning. Opening with raises and 3-bets every other hand Ola grabbed a lot of small pots and consolidated his leading position. However, Jörg Perleberg from Germany thwarted Swede’s progress and by wresting a couple of big pots from Ola and questioned Brandborn’s captain-of-the-table reputation.



The paths of the short stacks diverged at the first level of the day. Marek Boczkowski and Mikko Pisto somewhat predictably headed out the door (€1,724 and €1,933 respectively), whereas Seppo Jokisalo playing under Betfair banner picked a much needed double up and insured himself against quick elimination. At that point one could hardly guess that the Finn had much more ambitious plans. Meanwhile the second stack of the final table Tõnu Sodla made his presence felt for the first time. The Estonian knocked out his countryman Imre Leibolad, who received €2,194 for his seventh place finish.



Ola Brandborn resumed his pressure on the table by snatching the rest of the stack out of Teemu Kankkunen, who finished the event at the sixth place (€2,821). The Swede improved with K-J vs. pocket fours and did it twice. Right before his exit Teemu’s pocked queens run against pocket kings of Henri Käsper, but this double-up did not help Henri much. With the blinds starting to increase Käsper had to widen his open-raise range. Henri’s bold all-in attempt with 5-6 suited was coolly neutralized by Jörg Perleberg who called with pocked nines and ousted Käsper from the competition (€3,500).



Here came the moment of glory for Tõnu Sodla. The Estonian pulled off an amazing bluff against Ola Brandborn. After forcing the opponent out of a huge pot on a high and very coordinated board with two flush-draws, Tõnu triumphantly flipped over 7-2 off-suit! To his credit, Ola did not lose heart and delivered a real battle to his Estonian opponent. On the board K-7-J-Q with two spades and two clubs he instantly called Sodla’s all-in and tabled pocked queens. Unluckily for the Swede, Sodla, who had A-2 of spades, hit one of his outs. The 10 of diamonds became the final river card of Brandborn’s day (€5,225).



Given Sodla’s overwhelming chip advantage over his opponents many believed that the matter was settled. Seppo Jokisalo, however, thought differently. Within 15 minutes Finn managed to double-up twice, both times through Sodla. After eliminating Jörg Perleberg (third place and €7,158) with A-A vs. A-10 Seppo narrowed the gap between Tõnu and himself to just a few thousands chips. With the stacks being virtually equal the heads-up rivals opted for a safe path and sealed a 50-50 deal. As for the title and the trophy, the players decided to leave things to chance with all-in in the dark. With both hands tabled Sodla’s prospects did not look rosy. The Finn had A-Q whereas the Estonian flipped over mere 6-3 off-suit. However, the deck was very kind to the local player. A miracle 6 hit the river and made Tõnu Sodla the winner of BF Poker Tallinn 2011 main event. Both finalists had an impressive payday of €13,062.



Final standings:

1. Tõnu Sodla (Estonia) - €13,062

2. Kunoba/****oba is gay gay gay gay, shares with the klup, enjoys naked guy on guy wrestling and hates being touched by women, conclusive evidence.
3. I discovered that the gorgeous redhead denyy is actually a natural down to the bone blonde blonde blonde, it was a pleasure and i will remember forever
