Macon_Marc triumphs
January 11, 2009The biggest ever staked online pool game on PoolStars ended dramatically: 5:2. Macon_Marc - a professional online poker player managed to see off a late rally from poker icon Tony G. Both players had been playing hundreds of hours prior to the big match up, honing their skills in preparation for the big game. In addition to the record stakes, there was a record number of players online at PoolStars watching the action as it went down. The chat box was a sea of comments with observing players flooding their feedback and commentary at a rate that made it virtually impossible to even read. Despite all this, the players were calm and focused.
At the beginning of the match, it appeared that Macon_Marc might run away with a clean sweep after he shot away to a 3:0 lead. With $5,000 on the line, Tony G rallied and managed to take the next two games, making it a much more respectable 3:2. With this dramatic turn of events, the chat box went into overdrive, with even more comments coming in.
Here are just a few of the comments from the big game.
12:48 [jlanette] i need another beer!!!! Lol
12:49 [MachinegunDave] I need a coffee
12:50 [Borerto_Mogez] if Macon loses, ill kill him lolz
With Tony G putting all the pressure on Macon_Marc, the final two games came about in astounding fashion. With surgical precision, Macon_Marc managed to win the next 2 games taking the match and the moola. Here is what Macon_Marc had to say after his record breaking win.
"Well that was definitely fun! Nothing like sitting on the couch playing pool online for $5,000. Glad I found this site, its something to keep me entertained away from poker. Got off to a good start in this match up 2-0. Tony came back and had a chance to tie it up 3-3 if he made a combination on the nine ball, boy I was kinda nervous on that one. He missed and I ended up winning that game. The last rack he broke and scratched and left me a straight in combo on the 9. I had to take it, just wanted to end the match right there. Lined it up and put her to rest. Thanks to Poolstars staff for making this happen and thanks to Tony G for a good game."
Tony G was also suprised by the game, saying: "I was outclassed. He was just too good he worked hard all week to get better and won well, look out for the next big match. It could be you taking me on".
With both players showing ample respect to each other, it was no surprise that the rail birds would chime in with some entertaining comments for Tony, "12:53 [Albinario] on yer bike!"
Look out for more great promo's coming your way soon to PoolStars, the worlds best online Pool simulation platform.
