Congratulations are in order, people. The Green Lantern, pictured above, finished first yesterday in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship of the 2008 Foxwoods World Poker Finals. Onlookers say the GL "was able to ride his patience, seeing very little action during the first 3 hours of play [but] his cards started to improve, along with his chip stack as he took the lead at the Final Table and never looked back." Einhory took home a Championship Trophy, a commemorative leather jacket, and $89,547, which he will presumably be donating to charity (Greenlight investors).

@5: A-anything in a final table headsup situation is a pretty good hand to go all-in on, esp with a 5-1 chip lead. just saying.

@9 - yep, timing is everything. I believe there was some discussion of selling puts to juice the returns too. ouch!

It was all that Dan Marino's fault, everyone knows that. If he had held the ball, laces out, like he was supposed to, Ray would never have missed that kick. Dan Marino should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. Would you like a cookie, son?

Posted by guest , Nov 04, 2008 3:40PM
24 Whether or not its a stupid idea depends on which way the market moves. Who's stupid now?
