Ping: poker peanut gallery Flasch getting deep in Stars Sunday Million

primelord · 12-17-2006, 08:08 PM

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that our own Flasch186 is getting pretty deep into the money and is sitting in the top 15 in chips in the Poker Stars 1 million garaunteed tournament.

The field started with 6,628 and they are down to 331 (I went out 4,557

). He is sitting on about 500k in chips with blinds of 6,000/12,000 and 800 antes.

Go Flasch!!!!

Edit: Oh yeah he is at table 531.

primelord · 12-17-2006, 08:09 PM

Woot! Flasch just took down a huge pot (I missed how it went down while I was posting the original thread) and is now sitting at 791k in chips and is 2nd overall!!!!

Eaglesfan27 · 12-17-2006, 08:17 PM

Did I read correctly that the top prize is about 200k on average?

Today's first place prize is a little over 185k

I'm sitting here killing time while waiting to hear some news about my brother's baby that is about to be born. This seems like a good way to make time pass. Good luck Flasch.

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 08:48 PM

That is awesome. Good luck flasch!

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 08:49 PM

Wow, with KJo I am guessiong he had to make a stand there.

Logan · 12-17-2006, 08:56 PM

HUGE hand for Flasch.

Z²+ · 12-17-2006, 08:57 PM

Doubles up with 99 vs. AK, spikes a 9 on the flop for good measure. Rather exciting stuff.

Logan · 12-17-2006, 08:58 PM

I really hate the players who won't stop bitching when they lose a hand.

Z²+ · 12-17-2006, 08:59 PM

And the villian from the preceding hand decides to spend the next 5 minutes whining. Good times.

If you run into any trouble, I'm sure we can agree to a reasonable fee agreement for some legal services

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:03 PM

Maybe if chi-town did not push all-in everytime, he would get more respect.

Mustang · 12-17-2006, 09:03 PM

Just out of curiousity.. if you won and it was illegal.. HTF would someone pull out $185K.

Drop $1K in a checking acct or cash a check is one thing.. $185K deposit going through.. different.

Granted, nice dilemma to have.

Flasch186 · 12-17-2006, 09:04 PM

do winnings get taxed on here?

In this scenerio, you could afford to personally travel to your offshore banking institution.

You have to voluntarily file the forms, PokerStars doesn't file a W2-G with the IRS.

ShaneTheMaster · 12-17-2006, 09:08 PM

Good luck Flasch.. I am watching! Can't chat though :|

What Cartman said.

Technically it should be treated just like any other income. Even income from clearly illegal activities is taxable.

Logan · 12-17-2006, 09:09 PM

I wish they let non-players comment.

Z²+ · 12-17-2006, 09:10 PM

Just because I'm poor and focus my time on the $2 tourneys, it won't let me chat at your table. This is clearly discrimination.

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:11 PM

Under/over on Chi-town's age? I would say he is 13.

Actually just registered with STars to watch this.

Mustang · 12-17-2006, 09:12 PM

*L*

So.. ChiTown's moves are all the greatest but, everyone else is a Donkey?

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:12 PM

Nice. I am not sure if I would have blown away the field there with KK though.

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:13 PM

Update: Flasch is 4th in chips and is ensured of at least $1723.

They used to let everyone comment, until the $0 balance morons starting typing a single character and enter over and over again.

Logan · 12-17-2006, 09:21 PM

Yeah, figure it works out better for the games to weed out a large percentage of the people who want to talk shit. Doesn't mean I have to like it though

.

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:25 PM

Flasch just lost a big pot with A4 to A9

Logan · 12-17-2006, 09:25 PM

That one hurts.

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:33 PM

Flasch all but elimnated with a coin toss 88 vs KQ and the other guy flops a K.

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:33 PM

He doubles up on the next hand but it still a dire situation.

sabotai · 12-17-2006, 09:34 PM

I showed up. Sorry Flasch.

ShaneTheMaster · 12-17-2006, 09:34 PM

good job Flasch.. 65th

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:34 PM

Flasch finishes in 65th, for a total of $1855 and some change.

sterlingice · 12-17-2006, 09:34 PM

Nice job, Flasch!

SI

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:34 PM

Some prick..."FOCF where you at?"

cartman · 12-17-2006, 09:35 PM

Congrats Flasch! You beat my best placement of 69th in the Sunday tourney. But I only had 1570 entrants in that one.

digamma · 12-17-2006, 09:36 PM

Nice work, Flasch.

Flasch186 · 12-17-2006, 09:36 PM

65th!! Thats awesome, it was so much fun, It was great!!! i wish i could have that one hand back but Im not complaining since I won a freebie to even be in the tourney to begin with!! that was awesome!!

I just couldnt get off that stupid A4....that was so dumb. Oh well, its all gravy. It was awesome that some of you could be there!! that made it even better!!

primelord · 12-17-2006, 09:38 PM

Congrats Flasch!!!!!! 65th out of a field of over 6000 is quite an accomplishment!

Flasch186 · 12-17-2006, 09:41 PM

Man, while that hand was going, my brain was rationalizing and thinking so much. "He cant have a straight. Everyone's playing second rate hands. Why cant i steal one. Ill bluff. Ive got momentum, etc. etc."

Ridiculous, I shouldve known better but for what its worth I had a blast.

GoldenEagle · 12-17-2006, 09:41 PM

Flasch asked if anyone from FOFC was watching and commented how FOFC was his online family. This guy observed it and said that when Flasch had been eliminated. If you hand around online poker rooms enough, you will realize that some immature players act like major pricks.

sterlingice · 12-17-2006, 09:43 PM

Ah, I saw the comment. I was just wondering what the context was- I must have missed the original mention.
