Heat 'em and smile: welcome to the world of Ghost's Tobias Forge (Louder)

The choral swells of Gregorio Allegri's Miserere Mei, Deus drift through the audience at Manchester Arena. It's Saturday night, the mood is high and a ...

“I like to compare it to running a restaurant, because people...” Forge searches for the words. “And then you go out into the Manchester night, and either you fuck someone, or you go fuck yourself! “You grew tired of your quiche or whatever a long time ago, even if it’s your grandma’s recipe, but people expect it to taste the same every night because they don’t come in and eat it every day. Death runs deep in this music – in the fortitude it’s taken Forge to run with it. As an actor you are working with your physical attributes as your currency, so I know being five foot nine, white, with a certain body shape, I couldn’t do everything on the menu.” “But that’s like complaining about not being the general because you got to be the king instead. A lot of the show is free-form, which makes it edgy, but there’s still a script.” Now, at the start of this European tour, they’re very much on top – with Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats and Twin Temple in support slots. “Master,” Tobias Forge says with a smile, pulling back his jacket, when asked about the T-shirt. “They’re an American eighties death metal band. He could have wandered in from one of the rock pubs across the road. Part Victorian military dandy, part Joel Grey’s MC from Cabaret in tight black skinny jeans and black leather gloves, Papa Emeritus IV strides, skips and gesticulates with the precision and campery of a seasoned Broadway star. Behind the curtain, we catch glimpses of the sort of theatre normally associated with the Iron Maidens, Rammsteins and Alice Coopers of this world.

Lander Lijo limped on the button and Joao Vieira raised to 2,100,000 in the big blind. After significantly closing the gap in recent hands, Vieira has once again slipped down the chip counts. Lijo wouldn't see more than a backdoor straight draw on the flop, with Vieira clinching the victory after making top set on the turn. The turn saw Vieira fire off 3,700,000. Lijo woke up with ace-jack offsuit in the big blind and shoved over the top. Lijo deliberated and eventually called. Colpoys called with pocket sixes from the small blind before Vieira raised from the big blind. In fifth was the five-time bracelet winner Rast. Rast and Vieira got involved in a three-bet pot that saw Rast get in with ace-jack suited, holding the nut flush draw and a backdoor straight draw on the flop. While Lijo would go into heads-up play with over 60% of the chips and at one point had a 5.5-to-1 chip advantage, but he would eventually fall short against Vieira. Down to less than four big blinds, Vieira open-shoved with pocket aces and Lijo had to defend with eight-five suited. Lijo called with ace-seven suited and made a flush to send Perry home with $264,034. maybe go for Player of the Year… and all of a sudden I couldn't make a final table. Amazingly, this was Vieira's 15th cash at the 2022 World Series and his 79th career WSOP cash.

Event #81: $5000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em | 2022 World Series ... (PokerNews.com)

After the dust settled on the final hand it was Mo Arani who became victorious when he made trip-eights against Johannes Straver's king-ten.

The day was ended for Francois Pirault and his camera crew when he was eliminated in sixth place. Arani considered it for a bit before he called. The flop came to put Arani ahead. But he ran into some misfortune and was eliminated in ninth place. The deep run paid out $850,675, his only live tournament score of any significance. Three-handed play would commence with the players fairly close in chips, with none of them being very short, and it looked like a long contest was coming. Michael Katz would then become the first victim of the final table as he was sent packing in eighth place. That finishes the PokerNews coverage of this prestigious event. Caio Almeida followed him out the door in ninth shortly after that to bring the field down to the official final table of eight. Eventually, Arani won two consecutive all ins to finish off the bracelet win. He is really good, and I was talking to him on breaks on the phone and Calvin (Anderson) as well." Mainly a cash game player, this win will increase his total winnings by 60% as he takes a huge prize in one of the twenty or so tournaments that he plays per year.

Joao Vieira has long been one of the most dominant players on the online high-stakes tournament scene. While he has had plenty in live events, ...

The board ran out K109A4 to give Vieira a set of aces for the win. The German poker pro ran A-Q suited into the A-K of Lander Lijo. Holz flopped a queen to take the lead, but Lijo turned the broadway straight to regain the lead. This was his first POY-qualified score of the year, with none of his 15 previous cashes this year resulting in a final-table appearance. This event was scheduled to play out over the course of three days. As one might expect in this high-stakes event, the 17 players that cashed were among some of the most accomplished tournament stars in the world. With a huge seven-figure victory in a $50,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em high roller at the 2022 WSOP, the 32-year-old Portuguese poker pro added another marquee live victory to further establish himself as a massive threat in both the online and live realms.
