LA Poker classic: pick the winner and win the chips

jojobinks · #1 (**permalink**) 02-12-2008, 02:14 PM

we haven't had pick the winner since last years wsop main event. what's up with that?

Main event starts 2/23. last year this sucker had 791 players and paid 2 million plus. it was the largest 10k buyin payout of the year.

Rules
post who you pick to win and a picture of the casino chip you'll put up as a bounty. the ChipTalk.net member who's player goes deepest gets the chips. final table chops are allowed, unlike at the WPT

. last year 3 FT players were picked (giang, wasicka and Tran). if you'd like multiple horses, go for it. for each player you pick to go, put up a different casino chip. choose wisely, young jedi; for if your horse isn't at the gate, you are without a horse.

the picks:

BigKyle · #6 (**permalink**) 02-13-2008, 03:05 AM

Don't know if you can have two entries but if you can I'll put up a double entry.

legend · #7 (**permalink**) 02-13-2008, 09:49 AM

if you can't have 2, I will take whichever one of my guys lasts the longest.

BigKyle · #8 (**permalink**) 02-13-2008, 08:38 PM

bttt...

Any more takers?

jamby · #9 (**permalink**) 02-13-2008, 09:04 PM

I'll bite. Men Nguyen is my pick. If we can pick two I'll take Eric Seidel too. I need to go look through my traders though for the casino chip(s) that I'll put up. I'll make 'em good though.
