Whats with all the crying in the previous episodes like that andy black guy. He was balling for quite a while. And then there is this incredible amount of hugging??? Whats up? Sheesh, thought this was on ESPN not Lifetime.

TP will give $50 to anybody that can guess who was making a jacking-off motion to the crowd when they were giving Raymer a standing ovation?

OK not really but did anybody see that bullshit? Not only did Sheikhan not stand up or clap when Raymer got busted, he sat back and made a jacking-off motion with his hand, mocking Raymer and the crowd. What a douchebag.

I haven't seen tonight's yet....

As for the emotions though, keep in mind, these guys had been playing for an entire week at this point. They've been through a lot together, and have gotten to know each other quite well. There is a LOT of respect around a poker table this deep, especially in this particular tourney.

I'm definitely not faulting Black. He seems like a genuinely great guy who cares about winning but cares just as much about all of his competitors.

But it sounds like Sheikhan was a jerk pretty much the whole time. I remember that from reading Cardplayer updates as it was happening too.

Saw the episodes.... Damn that Sheik guy was an ass. You need to be a pretty big dick to make the entire world root for Mike Matusow to take you out. Nice job, ass...

It wasn't mike at fault here? I didnt get that but i also didnt see that guy do the jacking off motion. what a lame duck

these guys have been playing poker with each other for a whole week now... while they all want to win, when someone gets eliminated, it could of been someone they have been talking to for 4 or 5 days and feel pretty bad about it.

When Mike Matusow tells Ansanjak or something like that, that he has played too good this week to lose with his queens when he rivered a set tells me that alot of emotion is running through these players.

Mike is the one player I didnt expect to get caught up in all the emotion because he wants to win so badly.
