I thought one of the all-time great final tables was the unaired ESPN coverage of the lowball table a couple years back (the one that you could watch online).

That one was amazing. "I figured you had a breakable Jack"...opponent had a breakable Jack.

The game was triple draw 2-7. Is that still viewable online? I thought it was one of the greatest clinics of how to think through a poker hand ever seen.

Also, up until this HORSE event, Chip Reese was probably the unluckiest player in poker TV history. Every time he was on a show he took insanely bad beats, coolers, etc.

There is more "evidence" towards Chip Reese not being as good as a NL player than most others. Some points:

- Doyle folding QQ in that spot only to Chip (and not other players) implies that Chip may be a bit predictable with his lines.

- Andy's dismantling of Chip HU in small pots, only to get outdrawn repeatedly in the all-in ones.

- What appeared to be all-in PF overbets from Chip at the end of the HU portion.

- Chip not making an appearance on HSP, ever. Even Ivey showed up for season 3. This could mean that he doesn't like the TV time, but I'm speculating.

Chip doesn't want to play NLHE cash games only. He plays mixed games and in the old days high-limit Stud/Razz.

Since HSP is HE only, he doesn't play there.

There were some great reads during the coverage of the HORSE event but I think one of the overlooked ones was Ivey's allin with second pair (sevens) when Bloch checkraised him with the flush and straight flush draw.

Actually it was no-limit single draw 2-7 lowball.
