Michael Carroll FT'ed in the 2005 3k NLHE.

Pretty anonymous final group. LOL that a guy from Perth Ontario is in the group. If it is the place I am thinking, it's an itty bitty stain on the map.

Reel Deal 07-14-08 08:53 AM

I'm definitely rooting for "Hot Chips." :D

Joe Bishop (Cincinnati, Ohio) $ 4,855,000

DO IT FOR OHIO ONE TIME!

Zybomb 07-14-08 09:12 AM

David 'Chino' Rheem is a pro...he has a FT in the mixed holdem event this year. Him and Matusow were at the same table earlier, apparently taking turns rolling over the table for a while

Talking Poker 07-14-08 10:17 AM

I'll post their bios later today.

Would be great to see tiffany michelle make the FT. Err, the "November Nine" I guess I should say.

Talking Poker 07-14-08 02:36 PM

Much prettier in real life, I should add. My head turns every single time I see her:

the FT not playing till november is one of the biggest mistakes the WSOP can make for sure....

PShabi 07-14-08 03:41 PM

Jesus Christ! How about getting the eyebrows shaped a little???? WTF???

Nothing turns me off more than chicks with big ass bushy ass eyebrows.

Reel Deal 07-14-08 04:09 PM

Yeah, gotta say I'm with you on that one. Didn't notice before but :eek:

Talking Poker 07-14-08 06:39 PM

You guys are such tools.

She's hot. REALLY hot.

PShabi 07-14-08 06:54 PM

With a unfathomable need to get the eyebrows worked. It'd be like making out with ScarJo and finding out she has fucking dog breath.

Robbie Robb 07-14-08 11:30 PM

FYP

drewjax 07-14-08 11:33 PM

Someone on FCP made a great point.

What if the final 9 all decided to chop it up??
Not even showing up to play the FT.

Something like $3.4 million per.


And they all just show up in November to split the $ up and have a great laugh at Harrahs expense. It wont happen, but that would be AWESOME if they did.


How long is the delay gonna be between the playing of the FT and the airing? I forget.

Robbie Robb 07-14-08 11:40 PM

They have something like 20 hours to edit down the footage and get it ready for air.

drewjax 07-14-08 11:59 PM


Thats not bad. I think I can stay away from the computer (i.e. tpf!) for a day.
