That's the lineup ESPN was looking for when they extended the coverage.

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.

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.

Can't argue with that.

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

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.

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.

Hand #113 - (Razz)

Kenny Tran: 8-9-9-8
Bruno Fitoussi: J
John Hanson: Q
Freddy Deeb: A-2-2-A
Amnon Filippi: 5

3rd: Hanson brings it in for 30,000, Deeb limps, Tran completes to 120,000, Hanson folds, and Deeb calls.

4th: Deeb bets 120,000, and Tran calls.

5th: Deeb bets 240,000, and Tran calls.

6th: Deeb bets 240,000, and Tran calls.

7th: Deeb bets 240,000 in the dark, and Tran looks at his card and stands up in frustration. 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?

Default Latest chipcounts

From Pokernews.com:

Dinner Break Until 9:00 p.m. PDT
Play will resume about 9:00 p.m. PDT. Here are the official chip counts:

Seat 1 - Kenny Tran - 30,000
Seat 3 - Bruno Fitoussi - 6,935,000
Seat 4 - John Hanson - 3,135,000
Seat 5 - Freddy Deeb - 3,220,000
Seat 7 - Amnon Filippi - 1,550,000

Kenny Tran was crippled in the last hand, and the other final tablists were shocked he didn't call Deeb's river bet.

I can only imagine that he did make a full house or something and knew there was no way he could beat Deeb. Hoping for lucky rush I guess?

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.

Looks like Kenny Tran has never played Razz before. 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.
