Congratulations to Dublin Bellybuster's very own Michael Craig who, in the small hours of last night, took 2nd place in Event 44 of the World Series of Poker. The event was won by all-round Stud maestro Jeff Lisandro who bulldozed the Final Table and took home his third bracelet of the Series, not to mention the $180K+ first prize. Michael won $116K.
In his own words, "I played the best poker I could play today. Good cards helped, of course, but I knew the right situations to push marginal cards and the right situations to bet for value. I did a very good job sizing up my opponents and how to play (or not play) against them. Despite the structure making us short-stacked, and having just half the chip average at the beginning of the day, I don’t think I was ever in danger of busting until I was heads-up with Jeff Lisandro."*
Lawyer, author and friend of Full Tilt, Michael can now add another moniker: Razz-Machine.
