2006 WSOP Main Event...

I think anyone getting to this point in the tourney gets some cred, but if he wins it will be the single largest accomplishment of any player in poker history...8700+ requires an anti-donkey tank and some forizzle skills, hope he wins.

To be honest, I'd never heard of him (to the best of my knowledge - I MAY have seen him play on TV but just don't remember) until TP had him picked for that event he won - thus propelling TP FAR into the lead in the league.

But I've been watching him and he's done well in almost every (if not every) event he's played this year. So yeah, I'm rootin' for him too!

Plus, I haven't checked the people ahead of TP in the league, but if Cunningham wins this, TP could very well WIN the FTP fantasy league!!!!

I have Cunningham in my A Group, but so does the guy it first place, meaning I can't pass him. I may get a Top 10 overall finish though, depending on who everyone else selected, and that's pretty cool considering the size of the field. 4000+, right?

As I write this there are 14 left. I am confused if Jamie Gold sold his soul to get this lucky, or if he is straight up Beelzebub. Check out the evil bitch his mom is, quoting gutshot.com here- (and for those that don’t know, Einhorn is a non-sponsored player donating everything he wins to charity)
"Jamie rushed over to shake Einhorn's hand. Jamie has been on his best behavior today, though it appears as though he's forcing it. You can almost see him laughing inside everytime he goes to offer his sympathies to those players he knocks out. When Jamie walked over to his mother she was overheard laughing,''No more money for charity! Guess they're out of luck! Hahahaha!!!'' Melissa Hayden, friend of Allen Cunningham, also overheard the conversation and looked like she might throw up. Although Jamie has a large cheering section of friends and family, it seems as though every other person in there (including the camera guys) are hoping to witness his demise."

edit-gutshot is killing me. This ends a bit describing how on a flop of A54 Luke Chung moves allin. Gold calls with AJ and, of course, turns one of his three outs. Gutshot.com-"Somewhere over the last few days…in the early hours… Jamie Gold, respendant in white robes, sacrificed a small child on an alter…(Well that's Barron's explanation)"

sounds like a real piece of shit...

I was rooting for Einhorn, he was going to donate all his winnings to charity. He still has 600K to give to charity, not too bad.

of course 12 million would of been better and one helluva story but oh well.

Hey, look what I found... it's a list of 12 millionaires (and their current chip counts). I've taken the liberty of highlighting our next champion's name:

Jamie Gold 30,300,000
Allen Cunningham 14,450,000
Paul Wasicka 6,400,000
Michael Binger 5,800,000
Erik Friberg 4,950,000
Doug Kim 4,700,000
Rhett Butler 4,680,000
Dan Nassif 4,350,000
Leif Force 4,250,000
John Magill 4,000,000
Richard Lee 3,450,000
Fred Goldberg 2,800,000

[Zybomb]

From what I hear Jamie Gold is simply ANNIALATING the competition and catching cards HUGE. At double the chips of 2nd place, he's going to be a monster to knock down...

Is there a live webcast like last year?

Just in case anyone missed it.... this thread has kinda moved here:


For obvious reasons.
