Default Re: \"official\" WPT Championship IV Thread

While David was obvoiusly inexperienced the way he sometimes crazy overbet all in, like raising 60K to 8 Million or whatever, he did find good spots to do it in. He showed good poker instinct, even if he was too inexperienced too always act optimally.
One hand I was particularly impressed with, actually shocked by given his previous actions, is when the board was something like 79AA in head up. He raised the flop with the 7, then when Joe bet out again on the turn he laid it down.
One thing I was confused about is why JVA would raise David's big blind with basically nothing, 92 off. Hadn't JVA been playing with this guy the day before and noticed his looseness?
FWIW, my roomate had played some $500 multis in Bellagio with David, and absolutely could not believe that David had made the WPT Championship final table. He said David was incredibly loose and very talkative. But maybe he doesn't care about $500 after his big score.
