Default Re: BUSTED BIG NAMES / Superstars thread.

Evidently they told him he was playing on Day 1C, but he actually was scheduled for 1B. He heard about it, showed them his ticket saying it should have been 1C, so they let him play on 1D to make it right.

And yes there is some love for Hachem, would also be good to see him show whether last year was a fluke or if he really has it. I believe the latter but most think he has a lot to prove.

Um, he has 3 cashes, including 2 final tables this WSOP:

He's not a fluke.

He also made the final table of the WSOP Circuit Event at Bally's - that will be on ESPN tonight, actually.

Just more proof that good players are overhyped. Not only do they make bad plays as well but there is so much luck of all types in tourney poker that getting to the final table is more luck than skill for any of the individuals on it. Just look at this thread and see all the people who are supposedly "name" players who in reality just are decent but got luckboxed into winning a tourney or 2.

Is there a ten o'clock show, too?

Besides Helmuth ... what other big name superstars are busted out of the ME ??

We ran a $$$ WSOP pool at work, pick ten players, most money in ME combined wins. I picked:
Allen
Ivey
Hellmuth
Gordon
Brenes
Jesus
Ted F
Jonny World
Huck
Carlos M
Andy Black
Men Nguyen.

Do I really have 10 of 12 guys left?

Yeah, I busted Gus Hansen so he must be overhyped. LOL.

[/ QUOTE ]

Overhyped doesn't remotely mean he's a bad player. Try again.

[/ QUOTE ]

Where did I say that's what you said? Man, this place cracks me up.

[/ QUOTE ]

And I didn't say that he's overhyped because you busted him. Get off your high horse.

Default David Williams Eliminated

After taking a huge beat just minutes ago, Williams' crippled stack doesn't make it longer than a few more hands and Williams is eliminated from the tournament.
