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.

That's exactly it, in a nutshell. Nice post, nice ass. Although the hand that really could have swung things in my opinion was the potential three way all in hand that never materialized. It was where binger hit top pair, with 10's , Jamie was going in on a straight draw and Wasicka had the straight/flush draw. If Wasicka called, which, I think he should have (Kido says it the best: "If you want to win the tournament you have to gamble" Considering the spot and to more than double up, and take out third, and have a TON of outs, gambling in this spot is the right thing to do, as opposed to the usual coinflip pair to overcards race. Yeah yeah, "oh but if he loses he's in third", well how about, if he sits on his butt, and shortstack manages to win, guess what...YOU are on the verge of shortstackedness. This was THE spot to gamble in, regardless of having hindsight knowledge of the fact that he would have caught. Ok, had to get it out.)then, the balance of the game would have shifted there. Oh well, woulda coulda shoulda. Douche or not, the money is going to go take care of his father and to some research ,at least he claims that is where it is going, and if that is the truth, then at least the money is going to a good cause, which balances out the douchenosity of Jamie.

THE HUN.
