WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)

Yang absolutely raped this final table. I watched it live, and I can tell you the man was raising / re raising every other hand, and was absolutely fearless. He played like a [censored] genius - he KNEW he was one of the worst players at the table, and was WILLING to get all his money in preflop as a slight dog against a better player - because he realized this was his best shot for knocking people out and winning the event.

You're giving him way, way, way too much credit. His thought process seemed to go more like this: "If I just keep nagging the Creator of the Universe enough, he will re-shuffle the deck so that I win, whatever I'm all-in with."

Makes sense, since according to many, He has a hard-on for poker, and would rather preside over a poker tournament than, say, try to fix some of the mess causing children to starve and otherwise die in horrendous ways around the globe.

(Yeah, I'm also pretty tilted about this donkey-[censored] houlier-than-thou [censored] winning the Main Event.)
