The over/under on the amount of beers consumed by Nguyen at the final table would be interesting as well.

I am surprised that no one has a clear chip advantage going into the final table. It is tight at the top and any of the 8-9M guys can double up and be right there as well. It looks pretty wide open.

[DrewDevil]

gogogo Lee Watkinson so Full Tilt has to cough up $10 million.

[peterpjames]

This is going to be a whole helluva a lot of fun. I can't wait to watch, I already ordered it. And please order it instead of waiting to steal it please, the more buys they get the more likely they are to show it every year. And it's $20 for like 10+ hours of coverage, don't be cheap.

Does anyone know if you can watch this on delay at all? For example, if I go to bed at a reasonable hour, can I pick it up in the morning from where I left off? Or will it be strictly live?

This seating arrangement, I think, could be great for Khan, who would have the three big stacks all on his right. It's also very interesting with the three big stacks right in a row. (Lam, then Hilm, then Kalmar) Lam and Lee Watkinson probably have the worst position, Watkinson especially with the three huge stacks all having position on him. That could be very interesting to watch during the final table, as Watkinson is really going to have to pick his spots well and play his button/cutoff position a lot to have position on the big stacks.

Also, I guess we have to give Harrah's some credit for the blind structure that resulted in all the play allowed for going from three tables to one, and the deep M's at the FT, right?

No one at this final table could possibly be better at final tables than Khan. Unfortunately, that probably only gives him a 20% advantage with respect to an average player still left.

OOOOOOOh. I understand, because you are going to be at work for a small part of the final table, it is O.K. to solicit someone on 2+2 to help you engage in petty theft and violations of the federal copyright laws.

I missed that clear legal justification.

[J.C. Gloves]

I has arrived to sweat.

Plz run goot KhaN, him winning would be the best for the game. Then, Lee Childs, the most consistant player left (maybe not the luckiest tho, thats Kalmar /images/graemlins/wink.gif )

Lee Watkinson is good for 3rd or 4th for sure.

It will be a fun sweat.

[starvin-garvin]

"Bobby Fisher-like ability to multitable"

[grando]

I bet he flopped middle set here

[ZBTHorton]

I think he raised AK UTG. I don't know why Gordon didn't put that in his range, since he "Has to have 99/TT here"

[sixsixtie]

Well the problem is that phil gordon is an idiot

[grando]

if he's as tight as we've been led to believe, he'd fold 99 there

[peterpjames]

Interesting first hand as Yang raises UTG 6x the BB or so, Kalmar calls, flop is AQ5, Yang fires 2.5 million and Kalmar folds. Kalmar must have had a hand like a medium pair or KJ I'd guess?

[Levarkin]

Yeah, AK seemed quite reasonable. The overbet might just have been because he didn't feel like mixing it up so early.

[Senor Cardgage]

"This almost certainly hit Kalmer."
"Isn't there any chance Kalmer has 99-TT and Jerry has the big Ace?"
"Uh, well, sure I guess, we don't have hole cards."

Yeah, are they gonna be bringing in other announcers to take Gordon's place later on?

Under the Gun Raises
In three out of the first six hands, the player fromfirst position, otherwise known as "under the gun" opened up for a raise. That's somewhat unusual since No Limit Hold'em is a game of position.

Are the players getting monsters hands in early position or are they shifting gears and playing aggressively? It's hard to tell wothout seeing the hole cards. But we'll keep an eye on an future UTG raises.

Does anyone know if you can watch this on delay at all? For example, if I go to bed at a reasonable hour, can I pick it up in the morning from where I left off? Or will it be strictly live?

No No. There was a live *FREE* stream last year.

If someone finds this and can't post it due to 2+2 posting regulations, PM please. Also willing to pay $3-$5 PS for the PPV is anyone wants to make a deal. Just don't want to spend the $20 considering I'm at work all day.

I really think Jerry Yang is just outplaying everyone at this point - he has nothing to lose. I can't wait to see what his hole cards eventually are.

EDIT: Honestly, maybe just A-7 for Yang; I don't think he has a huge, huge hand here.

I'm guessing JJ vs QQ. Childs for the win!

He's definitely folding...

To give him credit, he has already admitted that he'll probably be wrong a lot today. Regardless of the accuracy of his reads (and I think we all know from the way this tournament has gone that these guys will play oddly), I find it interesting to hear what he thinks.

[PokeReader]

I will go with a big pair, prob aces for Yang, I think the staring was a set up, and not as good for Childs, maybe Jacks or tens.

[Aleo]

See how can holecards compare to this? I love the drama

[Madball]

Jerry "The Sandbagger" Yang. He's been pretending to be a weak-tight nit for the last week. Now he's got rags every hand and pwning! (or not)

[Killingbird]

KK vs. QQ but it could really be any overpairs. But it just feels like big ones to me.

[aceskay]

yang = ak of clubs i bet, that was so quick that he said all-in

[dogsballs]

Jerry Yang, the "weak player" is pounding 'em. Great stuff.

[KneeCo]

[Dids]

Wow, significant delay on the broadcast relative to the liveupdates, at least for me. The had those QQs up there instantly.

[namisgr]

Any chance Yang moved in with an underpair to QQ, putting Childs on AK?

[jasonfish11]

Yangs range there?

[The_Clubrep]

OMG - Folding Queens...getting 3:1... oooooh

[Aleo]

Poor lee. Shaking hands and voice. He's traumatized. lol
Pwned by Yang. I like Yang now.

I didn't notice much about Yang in previous days.

Why is it that the announcers had the initial impression that Yang was a weeker player?

Yang really decided to attack the beginning of the table, assuming other players would be concerned about being knocked out early, and then the chips he won would allow him to attack the larger stacks later on, good plan.

Jerry Yang has been LIGHTS OUT throughout the entire tournament. No surprise that he's been able to chip up.

[Dunkman]

Childs should be at the bar having a drink right now, not tilting off the rest of his stack.

[aramfingal]

i also put childs on queens, yang on jacks.

[PokeReader]

I though Yang played his short stack well at the end of the last day, I had ranked him as the most aggressive of the shorter stacks.

[punkass]

stop talking Gordon

[FBP]

Yang's INSTASHOVE on the donkbet make me suspicious.

Preflop i'd give him a lot of credit unless he's a known LAG. Chances he's light here is very low.

On the flop after the donk bet there's not a chance i'm folding queens especially with the timing tell.

I could see Yang's range including AK, or any Axcc. Other than that, TT+, a set is unlikely in my book considering he had just won 5pot, doubt he RR small pp preflop.

I call BS on "all-in with the worst hand 2 or 3 times".

Maybe in all-in situations sure, but not with all their chips in.

I also really hate it when people bring up that stat like it matters at all: "how many times were you all in behind"?

So stupid, there's a million better questions to ask that reveal way more.
