The CONVersation: Quick-fire Edition
During the break of Day 1B of the IPT Main Event we decided to have a bit of fun and ask some quick-fire questions to Niall Farrell, Bryan Paris and Dominik Nitsche.
Q. What the biggest animal you think you could throw over a goal post (Football/Soccer height)?
NF. Oh wow! I always overestimate this (get asked a lot, Niall?) I want to say a baby horse but I feel like that’s too big. Ok, we’ll go with that.
BP. Probably like a big dog, I guess.
DN. I’m terrible at throwing so probably a really small horse.
Q. Would you rather face off against a table full of supermodel sharks or a table full of fish, who smell like fish?
NF. Ha ha ha. Probably the first one as I do the second one every trip anyway!
BP. Oh man, I’d have to go with the supermodels there.
DN. Supermodels. I’m probably better than them anyway so it doesn’t matter.
Q.You’re hosting a four handed poker game and need to fill the other three seats. You need to choose a poker player for entertainment; a player for value and lastly you have a completely open choice, but have to explain that choice.
NF.
Entertainment: I’d have to take Ludo [Geilich].
Value: I can’t take Ludo again, no? I’d take Craig McCorkell then, he’s such a punter!
Open choice: The first two boys always like to drink a lot so I’ll stick in Jake [Cody] as well so we can all get drunk at the table.
BP.
Entertainment: I’d have to go with Daniel Negreanu.
Value: Do I have to insult someone? No, it’s okay; let’s go with Jason Wheeler.
Open choice: Richard Dawkins is an interesting fella. I’d like to see where the table talk would go and the debates between him and Daniel [Negreanu] would be great and overall it’d be a fun mix.
DN.
Entertainment: Jean-Noel Thorel because he plays in a very entertaining way. (Story checks out. Once he six-bet bluffed Viktor Blom in a €10k high roller event).
Value: Jean-Noel Thorel again? No? Okay, I’ll have Ilkin Garibli who won the $25,000 High Roller at the PCA this year. (Garibli busted Dominik from the tournament so an understandable answer)
Open choice: Probably someone like Dan Shak because he’s so rich he doesn’t care. (Dominik pointed out he's also very good friends with Dan as well)
