MPC Finals, aka, Battle of the Luckboxes

by Dave Robichaud • May 24, 2011

Well, season 9 has come and gone and we have made history with this year's chapmionship game. For the first time, we have a repeat champ!  Congrats Marc Julien!

You played well and got digustingly lucky when it counted.  Let's not forget your flopped quads when you were all-in for your tournament life with 55 versus Barb's KK.  Or, again, all in for your tournament life with 22 vs Shaun's Q8 and hit your 2-outter on the river.

But, nobody was as lucky as Roland. It was absolutely ridonkulous. He must have won 6 or 7 coin tosses (no, I'm not exaggerating). That's like trying to flip heads on a coin 7 times in a row. Try it, it's hard. He also hit his 5 outter for his tournament life when he flopped top/top with AJ against Marc's KK.  It always seemed like he was behind, but always got there.

Also, if anybody is curious how NOT to handle yourself after delivering a really bad beat to somebody, watch Roland. :)

Here are a few pics that I took after the game was done.  If anybody has any pictures or comments to share, please do so!

Marc and Roland's final hand.  I believe Roland raised on the button, and when Marc shoved, Roland insta-called.  The rest is history.

Look at Marc.  A born champion.  It's in his DNA to win.  How do I know this?  Well, let's look at the above picture a ltitle closer, shall we?

I will be the first to admit that my reaction after putting on the bad beat against Marc was not  proper poker etiquette. My only reason for doing is because Dave was telling me how good he felt that i could be knocked out in a few seconds. That just woke up the fire in me and I was so relieved when the Jack hit to win the hand I couldn't withhold my enthusiasm and a Screw you to Dave. Sorry, Marc I didn't mean to direct anything at you.
