Ellix Powers is the man

the funniest thing about that whole scene was the big goof who was kissing Powers' ass, trying to get his 30 sec. of fame. he followed him (and of course the camera) around like a puppy dog saying you got the whole room on tilt, and then kept looking into the camera. Jokers, I tend to agree with McManus, although he shouldnt let it bother him so much, checking/betting in the dark happens every so often. Also, I agree that JW Hennigan was sort of shining people on by saying he is good for poker. He means that he is good for his poker stack.

hennigan liked powers in that situation because he had position on him. it didnt really matter what powers was doing, because hennigan got to act after him. mcmanus had to deal with powers on his left all day, and i am sure that is part of what wore on him.

plus, hennigan is a gambler himself, so i am sure that he enjoyed someone else at the table who was just giving action left and right.

Powers is a joke, but he's definitely interesting to watch. Exactly the type of people ESPN are starting to show off in the WSOP. It's going to be a circus next year.

i thought powers was hilarious, and it is a pretty good strategy to bet in the dark every now and then, i mean you saw what it did to the other players, so anything to get your opponents rattled.

Powers won his seat into the tourney via a sat also he is a very good 7 card stud players at commerce in California so hes not broke or poor anymore. He plays 15/30 stud I believe.
