Coverage from Sunday, excellent. Coverage from last nights final two, terrible. They played for a LONG time and all they showed was 2 hands?!?!?

Remind me the next time I see that dweeb Montgomery in the poker room to push him over his chipstack. There's some things you don't do and giving a play-by-play when you're all in (especially in the world's biggest tournament.)

I was rooting for Demidov. He's got some game... the Dane played very smart though. Sat back early and waited, then when the deck started hitting him he fired and fired.

His table image is great now, IMO, and his skill is top notch as well. (He was just the chip leader at Foxwood's WPT event, will have to check it out and see how he fared. He also finished #29 in this years Main Event, I believe.) He hangs around in almost every tournament he enters. The guy can flat out play. No if's, and's or but's about it.

As for Hellmuth, he is great for the 'sport'. Plays the role of the villain to a tee, has everyone at his table either gunning for him, or running from him. (Which can backfire some times) And Doc, he may play the role of the "brat" or "dweeb" (which is mostly an act), but his record clearly speaks for itself. Second to none when it comes to accomplishments in the poker world, and only he can say that.

Was up there last night into today. He finished 6th

Damn. I was rooting for him to get it done. He'll probably get to another final table in his next attempt. Guy has a knack for knowing where he stands in each and every hand he enters. Uncanny would do it no justice when trying to describe it.

I think they are both great card players and very funny people. I could watch those two all the time.

i hate hellmuth because he's the inspiration for table coaches worldwide.

they're are guys playing bottom level that love to drive easy money elsewhere.

There's nothing like sitting next to someone who thinks making a guy that just wants to have a good time and doesn't mind losing money doing it feel stupid. that's such a fantastic poker strategy.

what part of bad player's being profitable are you phil, jr's missing?

you don't want to tell someone that calling a pot bet on a flush draw is stupid. you want to make them feel great about it.

unless your ego is more important than your wallet.

Schwartz also took around 3 million from Phillips with a post flop re raise in another hand.

one of those guys made an amazing fold with the king high flush... other guy had ace of hearts. Cant believe he folded those cards but good for him!

Lori, I think that was that Schwartz guy that used to play chess. I think it was Demidov that had the nut flush. I thought that was amazing lay down. To know that there is only one card in the deck that can beat you, and still have the discipline and courage to lay down that kind of hand...

There is probably 1 in a 1,000 chance I lay that hand down, it was an amazing lay down

I doubt most of the guys sitting at that table last night would have layed down that hand... cant imagine. Gotta give the man props - or else he had access to a tv and saw the other guys ace!

(just kidding of course)

Yeah, that guy was annoying as hell. Was hoping he'd get taken out early, but it was pretty funny when he finally did go down. I think there was only one card (6h, I believe) that could've beaten him on the river ... and it came up. Hilarious watching the dork sitting there after the bad beat.

Scav · #32 11-12-2008, 09:49 AM

I will say this, the two bad beats that were shown on the yesterday's show would have sent me over the edge, that 6h's one, that table would have been tossed.....All you gotta do is fade one card and bam, there it is....
