World Challenge Cup - Fox Sports - We won.
USA versus rest of the world. Team ‘Rest of the World’ have won. I have captained the team to victory. Its an amazing feeling to beat a US team that included Phil Ivey, and Jesus Ferguson, just to name a couple players. The World Team had Daniel Negreanu, playing for Canada, and Toto Leonidas of the Philippines getting the most points for the World squad, and coming 2nd. The final hand was Toto with two Kings, against Paul with Queen eight. Unfortunately, we lost when a Queen spiked on the river. Paul Durand was the Champion.
The World Team we dominated – we won 40-30. Its going to be a great tournament, its going to be on FOX Sports. The European players, just a little too much talent. And Australians were well represented with Emab getting five points for five US knockouts.
For myself, I picked up Aces on the first hand, and picked up a couple thousand. Later Amir Vahedi took me out, playing for Iran. Amir got a lot of points for the World Team. It was an interesting team with 2 Japanese players, one Chinese players, Four Australian players, probably ten players from the UK.
It was a great feeling to pick up this win.

Fun site Tony !! Congratulations on great achievement here and the last half year !!
Next time we meet heads up I will try not to have Torstein Iversen’s passive but brilliant HU style in mind, but play my own game before I have given you chip advantage
Best regards,

Hey Tony, I used to check your site out ages ago when it had the old design- it’s looking great now! I haven’t been here for a while but I’m glad you’re still enjoying poker and that your stature is growing in the poker world. I remember seeing you on channel 4(in Britain) a few years ago, playing a ÂŁ1,000,000 tournament(you know- those ones Jessie May commentates on). You got to the final table but seemed a bit nervous and didn’t play your usual game. But I remember then thinking that you were the coolest poker player I’d ever seen and I have remembered you and cheered for you since when I see you on the telly. Have a happy New Year when it comes big man!
