    Also I believe Cheryl Lynn is a Toronto resident she beat me in the pockets monthly tournaments last year at this time, when I came second. Solid player, should make final table

    Cheryl is most def. a home grown talent, and a Fallsview regular. I've played against her a bunch of times there. I think it was be an amazing story if she made it to the final table and took down the title.

    This thread needs her pic. >:D If she is from the Philippines, I think her actual surname is "de Leon" (not Deleon).
  • JimmyHoJimmyHo
    A welcome addition to the Ryder Cup team :) Looks like she is from Kitchener so its just down the road for her.

    These guys will ship it...Looks like this is the FT...I hope actionjeff or little ships it..
  • BlondeFishBlondeFish
    I will be rooting for Cheryl Lynn to be the first WPT female champion. Hopefully, the final table will consist of mostly Canadians again, just like last year when John Juanda was the sole foreigner.

    Canadians David Cloutier, Cheryl Lynn de Leon, William Hames and Giuseppe Galuzzo remain in the hunt, with six players left to be eliminated today. While William, Giuseppe and a third player are close to the Red Zone, David and Cheryl are two of only five players in the Green Zone, so they are both in great shape to make it to the TV final table of six.
  • compueasecompuease Admin
    Hames doubles up but Galuzzo eliminated withing 5 min of each other...
  • actyperactyper
    Can't believe final table set already

    Here are the official chip counts for the nine-handed final table:

    Seat 1 - Kofi Farkye - 1,421,000
    Seat 2 - Jonathan Little - 2,149,000
    Seat 3 - Cheryl Lynn Deleon - 1,321,000
    Seat 4 - "Action Jeff" Garza - 469,000
    Seat 5 - Adam Levy - 379,000
    Seat 6 - David Cloutier - 1,563,000
    Seat 7 - Barry Greenstein - 1,226,000
    Seat 8 - Dale Pinchot - 374,000
    Seat 9 - Scott Clements - 1,095,000

    Play will continue until three more players are eliminated, setting the six-handed WPT Final Table that starts tomorrow (Friday) at 4:00 pm Eastern

    This looks like a crazy tough table. fyi Kofi Farkye was a multiaccounter, possible colluder who was booted off pokerstars. Person who pretty much got him booted = ActionJeff. Went by the name redsoxredsox or something like that, so Jeff is looking for a redsox cap if anybody has one for him tongiht/tomorrow. :)
  • JimmyHoJimmyHo
    From 'ActionJeff' on 2+2:

    all I am going to say on this matter is:

    While playing day 2 of WPT Niagara, I was moved to a very tough table
    with many deepstacked, strong aggressive players. One of these players
    was a kid 2 to my left who now is 3rd in the tournament going into the
    final 2 tables, and claimed to have satellited in on $27. I didn't
    believe him and didn't put much thought into it at the time.

    During day 3 I was told by a very reliable source that this kid, Kofi
    Farkye, is the PokerStars player redsoxsox.I asked everyone who knows
    anything and they all said the same thing, and all told me he was
    still playing on Stars and gave the same two screennames.

    For those unfamiliar, here is some history:

    redsoxsox appeared out of nowhere and crushed the $100rs. They ran two
    a day and he and another new player, opobi43, would play a very
    similar style and put a ton of money into the rebuy periods but also
    win the tournament with a very high frequency. Opobi and Redsoxsox
    would often be placed at the same starting table as the fields were
    smaller a year ago, and would always both build huge stacks and play
    giant, absurd pots with each other dumping off enormous amounts of
    chips. I emailed PokerStars about this blatant collusion in the rebuy
    period and received no response.

    I finally got deep in a $100r with redsoxsox, and opobi was there too.
    We three made the final table, and ended up three handed. They never
    played big pots with each other and gave me hell. The same thing
    happened in a 100r weeks later- all three of us made the final table
    and got 3 handed. 3 handed play was the same.

    I emailed PokerStars again after the fact:

    I recently was 3 handed in a $100r with 2 regular stars players,
    redsoxsox and opobi43. I won and
    was happy. The same thing happened again in another 100r a month later or
    so, not sure of exact dates would have to pokerdb it. Then I heard
    that redsoxsox and opobi were good friends, and that redsoxsox was
    underaged and played as opobi43 on Full Tilt Poker. So they share
    accounts, dump huge stacks to each other in rebuy periods, and get 3
    handed with me and I feel like I might be being cheated. I am 100%
    certain that these players are sharing hole cards in rebuy periods and
    believe review of any $100rs they participated in will reveal this. I
    also suspect these players regularly collude and could even be the
    same player.

    I sent this before and wasn't responded to. I am mentioning it again
    because I haven't seen Opobi in a long while and was wondering if he
    and redsoxsox might have been banned for cheating for like what happened
    to me, and I wasn't informed?

    thanks for looking into all of this!

    Hello Jeffrey,


    We did investigate the matter between redsoxsox and opobi43, and both
    players have since been banned for collusion.

    Thank you for all of your help.


    Regards,

    Jason

    so yes,

    I have tons of info and can confirm that Kofi is redsoxsox. I can confirm that he and opobi43 were banned from PokerStars for collusion. I can confirm that they are brothers. I cannot 100% confirm that they colluded vs. me in those $100rs, and I don't know anything about Sunday millions, but I can confirm from both their play and by admission that they at the very least soft played shorthanded which is collusion any way you look at it.

    I don't know Kofi and haven't posted anything that already hasn't been said. For all I know he is a good guy who made a mistake and is just trying to play poker and make money now. I don't know what the situation is but I don't think its that big a deal. My main grievance is that PokerStars would have released more information regarding the collusion and refunding players affected.

    -Jeff


    Obviously it would be great if they both make the final table.

    David, only Canadian left? Clements seems to be on a roll having won a WSOP bracelet in Omaha this summer. He's my pick.
  • actyperactyper
    He also won the subevent here last year. I really don't have a pick, but I'd say Action Jeff or Fiery Justice.
  • BlondeFishBlondeFish
    I think media access was very restricted in the playing area so there seems to have been very little Canadian media coverage of the event, except for a series of articles in the Toronto Sun:

    For Haroon Sakhizada, the dream of making the final table at the Fallsview would seem like deja vu. Last year, Haroon was at the final table -- as a dealer. In fact, he dealt the final hand of the tournament.

    This year, he decided to try his luck on the other side of the poker table. Due to strict gaming regulations, he had to quit his job at the Fallsview in order to play.

    Unfortunately for him, there would be no happy ending to his story, as he busted out early this week and was sent home with no prize money.


    Any other forumer besides Larry L. and I that are going to Fallsview Casino to watch the TV final table?
  • JimmyHoJimmyHo
    thought you had to be over 21 to play in this event because the winner gets a seat into the WPT championship in Vegas? two of the remaining players are 19. I guess they just forfeit the seat.

    Will the final table be shown on the live webcam (on delay)?

    ActionJeff FTW...Otherwise FieryJustice or Clements will win for sure...
