Default 2006 WSOP Winner--Dont read if you dont want to know.

Jamie Gold played flawlessly at the final table. I cant wait to watch it on ESPN. But when you have all the chips and are getting good hands it makes playing much easier.

Here is the link to the story from ESPN:

Euro: I thought the 25 dollar tag was too much....maybe 15 tops and I'd buy!

I am assuming you are talking about the Pay Per View? I wouldnt pay to see this at all. I think it should be free to watch. But I dont blame them for trying to squeak out some additional dough.

The PPV didn't have the under table views or anything. Can you imagine just watching eight hours straight of poker without participating?

I didnt know that. Man, that would have been awful. But I can understand why it wouldnt show the hands. I mean it is live poker. But I couldnt have sat there and watched it.

I qualified last night on Full Tilt for a $200+$16 buy-in this Sunday at 5pm, 250k guaranteed, pretty cool, first place is like 50k, OH TAKING the rest of the year off if I win

Played a 4.40 tourney, winner got a $26 satellite token, took that token and played in a 6 person tourney, winner got the $200 buy in for this Sunday.

$4.40 into 50k, it could happen

Don't forget luck, because Gold had a lot of it. A lot some good ones with open-ended straights.
