Well as I attempt to ascertain who the biggest winners were for 2008 it seems that two new records have been set.
First one which I gather everyone has heard of by now was Moocher’s performance in the Grand Waldo Macau tournament, which included accommodation and travel for Mr and Mrs Moocher (after finishing second in the Hong Kong Poker House Xmas series). Despite the tournament being a Rebuy Moocher managed to ensure his Free-roll shot enabled him to cruise to 4th place and take down a tidy $10,000 prize.
Moocher had also turned his fortunes around online with the greatest comeback since Lazurus. After busting out he free-rolled his way back to money play and his online roll now stands at a healthy US$1,055.
The highlight of this resurgence also takes the current prize for biggest ever tournament win as he brings down top prize for US$943 after risking a mere $3.30. So the record previously held by Rummy Coakes falls to Moocher.
The come-back kid struck again over the weekend taking second spot in a 90-man tourney.
He also has a tourney lined up with Joe Hachem later in the month with guaranteed HK$25K worth of prize money to divide between the 25 finalists. Joe will be quaking in his boots when he faces a raise from the big nosed dog with the black shades.

A quick update.
On deciding to try out the Hong Kong Gaming Club tournament at the Avenue Club in LKF on Tuesday the club and organisers took the wrath of Moocher, advertising a first place of ferry tickets for 2 a nights stay in the Star World Hotel and buy in for a lowly $550 rebuy $150,000 guaranteed tournament I was shocked (as some other punters were) to be told half way through that there were not enough punters to award the prize as advertised, they said a minimum of 24 players!! instead the winner would recieve 2 ferry tickets and 1 buy in only, this equates to Fuck All in Moocher terms. The buy in was $300 with rebuys plus 1 $300add on, in other words with the pricey drinks it would have been cheaper to just go over myself. I pushed my 4000 odd in chips to the dealer and told her to cash them back in as a tip. Since then I recieved an Email from the organizers apologizing for the mis-information posted on their website and they have offered me 2 buy-ins at any of their forthcoming tournaments. My response was I will accept there offer but will wait until they have a much better series, seeing as last month they did one with the top prize being flights for 2to Manila 4 nights stay in the Dusit Manila and buy-in for the APPT main event. On a lighter note it was nice being recognised by some of the other players who I don't know but they knew my name.
