BoobieStormWes sighting
 

46 minutes into the first of tonight's episodes. Antonio knocks out a player and we get about 1/2 second of Wes on The Magician's left. :thumbsup:

He will be on this 2nd episode I am pretty sure.

Indeed 'tis true, we bid him farewell at 27 minutes into the 2nd. :(

Booooooooobieeeeee

I had a feeling they would join the hand in progress on the turn and make it look real weird.

At least Chad did say what the action was pre and on the flop though. "Ismay is dismayed" lol

But he was not "Whamboozled"

I was most impressed seeing his name in the #4 spot of the chip leader list.

Antonio sure runs good, eh?

Sort of off topic, but I was disappointed in the coverage of my other friend that finished 29th. Was only featured in the background of a few hands, didn't have one hand of his covered, and didn't even show his bust out hand in 29th place!!! Just a quick clip of him walking out after busting and giving a discouraged "c u next year" as they came back from commercial

There were some big hands with him and Phil Ivey i thought might make the cut, but i guess when your not at a featured table / aren't a well known player it's tough to get coverage

Bleh

It has to be tough catching all the action. Back in '04 they missed a great hand between Raymer and John Murphy (I think that was the kid's name). With like 3 or 4 tables left, the kid kept reraising Raymer's open raises like every orbit, finally Raymer 4-bet shoved over the top (he was chip leader, the kid was like 5th), the kid stewed about it and folded and Raymer showed T8o. Was posted in 2+2 but didn't get caught by ESPN.

Phil Ivey is a pretty well known player, IMO. The big hands must not have been that interesting... ie, they missed recording most of the action and there was no showdown, so it just looks like a bet and a fold by the time they are recording... something like that. They definitely prefer showing hands where they know the hole cards and bust-hands - that's for sure.

I didn't realize that was your friend, but I was thinking, "Man, that guy got screwed - they didn't even show his bust hand" when they showed him exiting.
