WPT sucks.

[ace_in_the_hole]

1 outers on the river are sick. 2nd one at a WPT final table. Rigged.

i've go full respect for alan but wtf was up with that call with k8?

[Yaboosh]

Or his constant floating with unimproved overs?

[La Brujita]

at least once it looked like the dude might have priced him in, the last time i think it was.

people say the wpt sucks, i think it was pretty damn good the last few weeks.

i really felt tran's pain that one hand.

I know the WPT doesn't allow deals, but this call had deal written over it. C'mon, would you call with k8 for a million dollars? But maybe you would for just the 25k buyin and the title!

as allan said K8 is in the top 25 percent of hands. so if the guy is raising 50 percent of his hands, most of the time you hand is good (factor in the added money) and you shoud call. Its similar to a scernario where you know someone is bluffing but you have a hand like A3. The thing is some of the time you are going to see 3 8 or something. Yeah the other times its basically a coin flip against his 9 10 or something but the dead money compensates you for this also.

From what i understand you never really get a chance to talk with the other players alone when your at the final table so making a deal is basically impossible unless your friends with the fellow player or you can really trust the guy and you worked out something the night before.

Yes, I would call. (The difference between 1st & 2nd was over $1.2mm)

For the record, I made no deal at the LAPC. (I have never made a deal at a final table, I always have 100% of myself, I never back other players---my life is simple).
