All of you have probably seen Tony G in action. If not just search for his name on youtube and you will find clips that are amazingly funny to watch. Not kidding. I wouldn’t like to be his opponent when he’s in that mood but being a spectator is hilarious. What happened today should have been on tape cause it would have had 10 000 viewers in one day.

Tony G and Viktor Blom ended up at the same table. I highly respect Victors skills when it comes to poker and I surely think he would beat Tony heads-up by any point but today Tony really managed to get the young kid on tilt big time and I was there for the whole thing.

It was after Viktor bluffing away 75 percent of his stack to the german player Tobias Reinkemeier on the river and this is when it all started… Tony went M-A-D. He started instantly saying how bad Viktor played in the hand and how obvious it was he was bluffing there. Viktor defended himself by saying he’s been tight the whole day and never bluffed and never bet this much when he didn’t had it. This was the first time. The argument continued and Viktor finally said: “I don’t think you have a clue”. Right here I was so sure the whole thing would stop but no no. Tony G knew he had managed to get Viktor where he wanted him and continued. He said he easily could win this tournament if he’d play his normal game and that he’s a really talented player but he’d now blew his chances etc… Tony continued saying how bad most of the field was and how players donked off their chips. By this point we have an all-in situation at the table where another german bloke had bet his russian opponent Kalshnikov (yes that was his real surname cause I copied it from his passport) all-in on the river with the board J-T-7-J-5 (two hearts on the flop). The russian guy calls for the rest of his chips with A5 of hearts. It’s actually good cause his opponent has a missed straight draw (KQ) and wins the pot. “See. He didn’t come all the way from Russia to fold when making it on the river”, Tony laughed and so did the whole audience plus the rest of the table (apart from Viktor and the German).

You can say what you want about Tony G but he’s the best when it comes to the skill of getting people on tilt that’s for sure.

If you know the hurdy-gurdy language (Swedish) you can read this and a lot of other fun stuff from today HERE.

Tomorrow will be another long day I reckon but at least I have the EPT Awards-thing looking forward to. It’s time for sleep. 14 hours I spent in the tournament area today with lack of sleep and oxygen. It was fun cause of all the great players playing the high roller but damn my feet hurts…
