possible dumb question:
Why is this final table 10-handed when most are 9-handed?

[/ QUOTE ]

b/c Hellmuth was the shortstack and the floorpeople decided that they didn't want to risk him busting out and having a Phil-less final table. i've got no problem with that.

I have a problem with it. It's blatant favouritism. The chip leader(s) have a big advantage on the bubble if they're playing right, and that has been removed. Would this decision have been made if Phil was chip leader and bullying the table ?

ESPN shouldn't be allowed to move the goalposts like this. And please note that this post has nothing to do with Phil's personality or skill as a player. It's more "You're Terrence Chan, not Johnny Chan" and it sucks.

I seriously cannot believe that you needed to explain this to this board.

Sometimes I wonder if some of the people here really know much at all about poker.

Let's have a 15-person final table because I heard that Jennicide is in lingerie and Sam Grizzle wants to kick Hellmuth's ass again, and they're in 13th and 14th, respectively.

Or maybe it was Sam Grizzle in lingerie and Jennicide kicking Hellmuth's ass, I don't know.

Either way, wake up and pay attention 2+2! You're saying some painfully goofy sh*t.
