I watched every minute of the final table of the ME on the PPV and I thought Gold played quite well. Where he got insanely lucky is that, when he was reeling a little after Cunningham called him down with the ace high, he managed to pick up an extra $5 million from the San Antonio guy with QQ vs. JJ. If that hand doesn't occur I think Cunningham may have won the tournament. I think he knew it too, because his demenour changed a little after that hand.

After that, it was just standard tournament stuff, IMO. I mean, I certainly wasn't pulling for Gold, but I thought he deserved the win. The 'top top' situation was a little interesting, but I didn't see anything too overboard on that hand, regardless of what other posters have said. Gold actually came across as feeling a little bad for the guy who was making a desperate move that wasn't going to work. That's how I read it, anyways.

That being said, Jamie may still be a douche, but I think a lot of the time he's getting a bum rap.
