Go Go Go Go!!!!! (WSOP Final Table Broadcast)

[BlibbityBlabbity]

Have to say the honesty thing with Jamie was VERY smart at the end. My guess is that the two big HU pots (last one and the one other one where he was goading for a call) he had it and was using the honesty thing to try to get a call.

Out of the last three Gold deserved it. The other two looked lost where he had total control.

Does the Bodog.net hat mean that PokerStars are going to break their streak of WSOP champions???

i wasnt watching the cast, but from what you guys told me this guy jamie gold was a real annoying piece of work. from what his mother was shouting from the stands and all. nonetheless as lucky as this guy got throughout, he still had to have played some great poker.

i really wanted allen to take it.. but 3.2 mil for being fourth place in anything is outstanding... congrats to all

[melioris]

I wasn't watching either, only read about it through various blogs and the like. For those who watched, is Gold as bad, as lucky, and as much of a jerk as some are saying?

[jaeh00d]

wouldnt have minded seeing mark petrillo take a cool 12 mill... fuck it, have him finished 10th and be a millionaire... then again i dont think he would have minded any sort of cash... hope to see you there again next year TP

Likewise.

But 10th would be pretty painful. Bubbling the Final Table of the Main Event..... ugh! Don't get me wrong, I'd still take it, but 9th would be SO MUCH better.

Most have been an interesting morning in Bristol or wherever ...

Guy in charge of the web cast:
Wow! We had an unbelievable number of people tune in last night! Our logs show tens of thousands of poker fans were watching for hours world wide at $25 a pop!

Guy in charge of the payment process:
Uh … uh … uh ....

[Robbie Robb]

Awesome!(r)

...until the following year when they sell 10x what they did this year because of the awesome(r) coverage,the *free*-per-view, and word of mouth.

[Talking Poker]

Well, the bought Hachem last year (he didn't qualify through Stars), so who's to say they won't buy Gold this year? Depends on what Gold signed with Bodog, if anything.

[johnp158]

He basically owned the entire final table. There's really not much that you could say negatively about the way he played throughout the last days of the tournament.

[Tony Cheval]

Oh yeah, and I TOLD you you should've taken some of Mike The Mouth's action!
