Moneymaker and Fishman at final table

[BrianSwa]

wow I just logged in today and saw that both Chris and Fishman made final table last night. Anyone watch this?

talking wcoop of course.

Wow, that's crazy. I completely missed it. I see they finished 2nd and 3rd, and it looks like no deal was made.

I would have enjoyed railing that....

The guy who won wanted to make a deal but Chis and Scott declined. Chris had the chip lead for pretty much the whole time. Bunsen was all in a few times but battled back. It was fun to watch.

When it was heads up, there was a point when Fischman had nearly a 3-1 lead in the money. (Actually, it was closer to 2.5-1, but whatever.) I didn't stick around, but he looked totally in control.

I'm glad the other guy won it.

[Talking Poker]

Nah, I like Scott. He's a good guy. And a hell of a poker player too.

For a pro widely considered (including by me) to more famous and less skilled than much of his competition, this is another impressive finish for Moneymaker.

Anyone know what kind of deal Stars has with their pros for these kind of events? Do Fishman and Moneymaker have to pay $500 + 30 like everybody else, or do they get free entries in exchange for endorsements, etc?
