[/ QUOTE ] The extended coverage was so they could show early rounds, so it really doesn't matter. The real problem ESPN will have IMO is that casual fans won't be thrilled about watching limit poker all the way through. |

[/ QUOTE ] The extended coverage was so they could show early rounds, so it really doesn't matter. [/ QUOTE ] It does matter. They'd get at least twice the ratings if they had the kind of final table they had last year. The early days would be essentially the same no matter what, since most of the personalities are still there, but it still would set the stage for the final table. Now who will they build up? ESPN, in their mind, will be wasting an hour of coverage with this final table. [ QUOTE ] The real problem ESPN will have IMO is that casual fans won't be thrilled about watching limit poker all the way through. [/ QUOTE ] Can't argue with that. |

Big rush for Deeb, if he wins it will be an epic comeback and he is a name player.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I really want to see this Hanson fish bust soon.. wtf is up with this play?? [ QUOTE ] Hand #22 - John Hanson Hand #22 - (Omaha 8 or Better) Amnon Filippi has the button in seat 7, Fitoussi raises to 120,000, Hanson calls, Filippi calls from the button, and Tran calls from the big blind. The flop comes {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, Tran bets 60,000, Fitoussi folds, Hanson calls, and Filippi folds. The turn card double-pairs the board with the {K-Spades}, Tran bets 120,000, Hanson raises to 240,000, and Tran calls. The river card is the {3-Hearts}, and both players check. Hanson shows A-K-x-x for trip kings with an ace kicker, and Tran mucks. John Hanson wins the pot. [/ QUOTE ] SB bets out, ldo he's got the king beat [/ QUOTE ] Not obvious at all, that's a good flop to bluff at. [/ QUOTE ] Sure, but it'd still be a pretty risky bluff against three other opponents holding 4 cards imo. I know my AKxx would've been in the muck after that flop, especially with no draws. [/ QUOTE ] I'm not goiong to assume when an aggressive player bets out there, he has to have a 9. He could be on a draw, have a K, or be on a stone bluff. I'm going to call there just about every time with AKxx, getting 9 to 1. |

Deeb says, "Did you make a full house?" Tran is conflicted, but he folds. Freddy Deeb wins the pot, and shows 9-5-3 for a 9 low. [/ QUOTE ] from pokernews Tran has 30,000 left after this fold how can this possibly be true. he has better than 40-1 on that last call. What, he's gonna find a better spot for that 30,000? It's a bring in. Edit: Honestly, the more I look at this, it just can't be right. What am I missing? |

[/ QUOTE ] Assuming Tran was playing one pair low, how many combinations of cards could Deeb have down that he could beat? Deeb would either need to have two of his three cards be an A or a 2 (of which there are a total of four left), a pocket pair with an A or 2, or pocket trips. I don't know what the chances of this are, but they can't be that much better than 40-1, probably lower because Deeb doesn't play the hand this way with a pocket pair. |

In an earlier round Tran played when his first two up cards were T9. Tran will finish 5th in one of the toughest fields only knowing how to play 4 of the 5 games. |
