US Open Gambling Updates (please add)
- Thread starter inside_english
- Start date
Word is $10k ahead. It seems the long grind got the best of him as he lost his US Open match today 11-8.
Word is brewing now about a possible $100k set if an unnamed individual can come up with his half (I dont want to disclose any names, but Alex is not involved).
how much is a lot?
Scott Frost? :smile:
Whoever is involved, I hope they don't post so the drama can unfold on az again
You will have to let us know if this match happens!!
Thanks for the updates Nathan. You know Dippy's got cash - coincidently I saw him just last night on Pokerstars.net Big Cash Game, Playing high stakes poker with the best in the world - Negreaunu, Brunson, Tony G etc. He lost over 100K in the first 2 hands! But Ive also seen him on TV in other poker shows wheres he's gone up. 1k set of pool to him is nothing.
Last night (or early this morning) Corey lost a set of rotation to Gallego. Not sure how much they were playing for.
Frost was also trying to get something going, but was unsuccessful.
I left around 4:30 AM, don't know what happened after that.
I suspect by Wed or Thu it will be hopping as more players get knocked out of the tourney.

Any more updates! No new news for awhile. Please don't make me have to call down there. You know us working stiffs are stuck at home working and chasing after kids with runny noses.
So, Help me out! Please!!!!!!!
Thanks!

Brandon Shuff beat Oscar Dominguez early this morning in a race to 17 ten-ball for $2,000. I think they played 3 sets and Shuff came out 1 set ahead. Of course the money might have changed and I don't know about it, but I do know Shuff won.
Left the room around 4:30 AM again, not much else was going on.
Lee Van, Liamco, Gallego and Alcano were there but no action for them.
Hopefully it will start popping tonight.
Thanks !!!!
any more action news ?????????????
Not from me.
Last night and tonight had tournament matches running very late, with the last round not even starting until 12:30 AM.
I was at Q-Master after 2:00AM and Josh Brothers was playing Sam Monday in 10-ball. Not sure of the outcome.
John Morra also played Roberto Gomez, not sure of the game and was too tired to care.
Tonight I left the arena with the following matches in progress:
Efren Reyes vs Darren Appleton
Johnny Archer vs Li-Wen-Lo
Mika Immonen vs Gabe Owen
...to name a few.
I have been watching pool today since 11:00 AM.
Fourteen hours is too much, even for me.
Not sure why but the matches are running late and starting later for the last two nights and I can't sweat them any more.
Definitely will not be going back to Q-Master, the action was much better last year.
May even leave tomorrow.
Hopefully somebody else can provide updates.
I dont have time to dish all the details, gotta run, but I was there at Qmasters every night all night and saw Plenty of action. I even donated a little myself. lol
I play real close to Dippy's speed but I'm not sure I would take that spot. It seems like a big spot but when someone plays Alex's speed, he can run out from anywhere and keep you in lock-down the rest of the time..
I heard Alex might be coming to Baton Rouge later on toward the end of the month.
April 1996, Dallas, CJ's room where earl ran the 10 package at the first PCA event, Amarillio Slim and Shannon played one hole, not sure the bet, but I remember 15-5 and slim could play a little, think slim lost.
:grin-square:
EXACTLY!
That 15-4 spot Dippy and I could easily get is not a lock for either of us.
It's downright
:embarrassed2: for amateurs like us but whacha gonna do? The difference in playing one-on-one for the cash and playing in a tournament is like the difference between playing cowboys and indians as a child or as an adult, trying to survive a hold-up with the bandito holding an AK-47 on you as he fleeces your pockets.
