my friend bet me that jerry yang will last longer than philip hilm. he contends that yang is playing really well and that he has good reading abilities, but i havent been all that impressed by him--plus hilm has nearly THREE TIMES as many chips. so anyway, lets go hilm!

I'm looking forward to some donktacular displays from this guy. Seriously, I have not seen one hand that demonstrates this guy is a good player. He strikes me as an oblivious calling station.

The best example is the 88 hand vs. Ray Henson. You could call that a great call on the river. More likely, it was just a ridiculous play that miraculously turned out to be right. Seriously, what do you beat on an A-Q-7-7-9 board? Silliness.

hey guys,

So you know, ESPN has had me writing articles previewing the shows without doing any spoiling. You can find some extra information on the last nine players and how they got there here

Mods, this was done in co-ordination with the producers, seemed relevant enough to spam.

My money is on Rahme. So far he has looked like a world champion player with solid betting instincts and the ability to mix it up with the best of them.

I predict that Lee Childs will be driven to the edge of madness in about 20 minutes resulting in an end of life.

I seriously cannot wait to see what Yang's hole cards are on that hand. I'm still thinking AKcc. He says JJ. I don't think a man of God would lie here.

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

It will be interesting to see how much of Yang's praying makes it on air. For those of us that watched it live, you couldn't avoid hearing his constant pleas to a higher power. However, the only hint we have had so far is that hand against Alaei, when Tran told him that praying isn't allowed at the table. We didn't really hear what Yang said, just Tran's reply.

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

lol its starting early with jesus answering the prayers

its gonna be amazing if he had it alot, because he was 3-betting/raising a TON.

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

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

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

wtf is that. talk to dad for advise?

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

i can't believe he folds this...

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

man this was a bad fold getting almost 3-1

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

So out of line with that conversation...

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

Results-oriented Chad in da house!!

Though yeah, bad laydown

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

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

pops - "good laydown" LOL. the moment got the best of Childs.

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

Looks like everybody who said it was a retarded fold during the live hole-card free telecast was right.

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

eh, turn was prolly a jesus... erm... jack

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

Hilm time after the commercial

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

Expert play with jacks, lol.

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

haha hachems shot is god awful

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

lol hachem's jumpshot, make it stop

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

If you're going to call the raise preflop with queens and the flop comes 7-high, I don't think you should fold there. What flop are you looking for other than making three of a kind? Yang had already demonstrated to Childs that he was capable of slopping it around a little.

Only he can know what was going through his mind at the time. I've never played for that kind of money, but that seems like a "playing not to lose" move rather than a "playing to win" move.

Am I wrong?

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

10 times the big blind...?

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

stacks are so deep here....amazing how bad the play is
