did u hear men say f#@K when the guy showed pocket Q's

[Whitewash]

Joe watches every move of the players he's in a pot with, even when it's his turn to act.

Folding 76 against David Matthew on a Q-7-3 rainbow flop after a min raise was impressive, to say the least.

This guy may be an idiot when it comes to bankroll management but he can play poker.

[JCool]

Yes. Men Said F##K. Also, WTF was with that 92o vs. 95 hand raised PF?

[Whitewash]

Not that any of these guys (except Matthew to an extent) are bad players, but its still pretty sad this is the best final 5 that this ridiculously tough field could produce.

[Whitewash]

James Van Alstyne = LAGtard

[THEOSU]

dude, you gotta feel for JVA.

"Waaah. I didn't have the cojones to bluff Bartholdi and now I have half an ante left. Waaah."

well not too surprising considering wpt events for the most part turn into push fests when it gets deep and you don't have a monster stack. so i guess at these points luck>skill

btw, what did u mean in reference to joe and bad BR management?

[DemonDeac]

that interview with Van Alstyne was AWESOME!!

-At least you won some money, coming in fifth.
-Yea but with the money at stake, that was......insignifcant.

love it
