Seat 1 - Raymond Rahme - 16.32 million

I'm looking forward to some donktacular displays from this guy. Seriously, I have not seen one hand that demonstrates this guy is a good player. He strikes me as an oblivious calling station.

The best example is the 88 hand vs. Ray Henson. You could call that a great call on the river. More likely, it was just a ridiculous play that miraculously turned out to be right. Seriously, what do you beat on an A-Q-7-7-9 board? Silliness.

I predict that Lee Childs will be driven to the edge of madness in about 20 minutes resulting in an end of life.

I seriously cannot wait to see what Yang's hole cards are on that hand. I'm still thinking AKcc. He says JJ. I don't think a man of God would lie here.

Can ANYONE explain how a rational player could take this blind push approach?

is there ANY possible gain from doing this, rather than pushing preflop?

All I could think is that Kahn was surprised that he wasn't RR preflop, and somehow thought "I have a big hand" was a reverse-tell.

I had a separate tab open with the PokerNews live coverage of the Final Tables, so I thought I'd compare the hands shown on ESPN with the actual hands.

1. Hand 6
2. Hand 9
3. Hand 14
4. Hand 15
5. Hand 18
6. Hand 21
7. Hand 28
8. Hand 40
9. Hand 42
10. Hand 48
11. Hand 50
12. Hand 55
13. Hand 56

Episode 2
14. Hand 58
15. Hand 60
16. Hand 78
17. Hand 92
18. Hand 95
19. Hand 108
20. Hand 127
21. Hand 129
22. Hand 149
23. Hand 167
24. Hand 169
25. Hand 205

During the last hand Lon said that Lam was "putting the pressure on early," referring to the earliness of the heads-up portion. Actually, it was the 36th heads up hand.

4 handed play lasted a long time, which is why there were such huge gaps in hands.
