Yeah, and referring to Tran. . .was I the only one disgusted with how cheerful Courtney seemed while interviewing JC? It seemed like she was trying to be serious, but having a hard time holding back a case of the giggles or something.

I wanted to shoot her in the face when she asked him if he thought aces were more unlucky then lucky.

W T F?

Edit : 2 outers on the river are > all. Especially when you hit what would have been your 1 outer had the board not paired.

Edit Edit : If I hear VVP refer to aces as weapons of mass destruction one more [censored] time, I'm flying to the next WPT event to stuff a WMD up his ass.

Just to be clear, he would have won even if the board hadn't paired, right? He did in fact catch the 5d...

The k8 really boggled my mind...Did he think he had a coinflip? Was there actually like a 40 hand gap and the blinds had shot up? Bizarre. He's got a great TV presence tho, very dry wit. Unless he's Canadian, in which case, fuggetabuddit.

If he had caught the 5s on the turn, then JC would have made the nut flush. Once the board paired the turn, he picked back up the 5s as an out since it would make him 5's full to JC's flush.

Mike and VVP need to work up some new lines! I enjoy watching the play but many time are you going to say the same thing every week.

I think it would be cool if they showed some hands that got each player to the finial table. Each player had to have given a bad beat for sucked out on the river at least once! Let's see it!

I spit my drink all over my coffee table when that 5 hit.
I think that was worse then Dan N's one outter on the Grinder.

Sick,sick,sick....

"Do you feel like aces sometimes are more bad luck?"
"No, not really, I've done well with aces."

I think Alan plays awesome with deep stacks, but he does some -EV [censored] with short stacks. Maybe it works for metagame reasons, setting up image or whatever. That K8 call was donk-tacular.

[Ungoliant]

Am I missing something? What was so horrible about that beat on JC last night? They were all-in pre-flop, pair vs pair. The smaller pair sucked out, as will happen 20% of the time. That kind of stuff happens every day to anyone who plays poker regularly. Sucks for him that it happened at a WPT final table, but I didn't think it was anything spectacular. Based on his reaction and the hysteria of Sexton and VVP, you'd think he just suffered the worst beat in the history of poker. It's not like someone got quads cracked by a straight flush or something.

[La Brujita]

are you serious? beats have to be taken in context. losing 900k or whatever of ev doesn't happen every day.
