WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

Tonight's the final ESPN broadcast of new WSOP events, with the final table of the $50,000 HORSE event. Here's how the final table went at the start of play:

Seat 1 - Kenny Tran - 2,445,000
Seat 2 - David Singer - 1,330,000
Seat 3 - Bruno Fitoussi - 895,000
Seat 4 - John Hanson - 1,995,000
Seat 5 - Freddy Deeb - 3,500,000
Seat 6 - Thor Hansen - 40,000
Seat 7 - Amnon Filippi - 4,015,000
Seat 8 - Barry Greenstein - 750,000

This final table lasted 341 hands, so they shouldn't have a problem having finding enough hands to broadcast, especially with the comeback the eventual winner had when it got down to 5-handed.

Hey guys,

kevmath usually links to my articles on ESPN for the corresponding episodes, but they only just got tonight's preview up now. It reviews the eight players at the final table without spoilers. Hope you find it informative,

It's also apparently the last episode for ESPN's WSOP producer, who got promoted to football. I hope ESPN maintains the same high standards next year, and that ESPN/ABC's football broadcasts improve.

norman chad must get wet at night over getting a low draw...thor had 553 when all in on 3rd, gets a 3 on 4th street and norman acts like he would have preferred a low draw?

Sounds like we're going to start the NFL version of 'The Nuts' pretty soon. Sounds absolutely horrible.

Also, he lost me at "If we can find players with cancer or other diseases, our viewers will eat that up."

I mean......[censored] you.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

I can't believe Singer didn't reraise Hanson's bet in the dark. WOW!

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

He assumed he had made low. Almost as if he was holding wheel

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

How about that hand call: Queens up for Amnon when the board reads 99Q9, in O 8/0

yeah, you never put somebody on a wheel in Razz. You're usually golden with the hand Singer had. Just sick. Also, wow at Tran. He's impressed me the most out of everybody in the WSOP. Kid is good!

Tran: J9ss
Fitoussi: 87o

Flop: 5-6-2 two spades

Tran bets, Fitoussi calls

Turn: Ad

Tran bets, Fitoussi calls

River: 3 (not spade)

Tran checks, Fitoussi insta-bets, Tran thinks and calls

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

He assumed Hnason had the nuts beating in the dark. Though that would be a massive tell if he did.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

omg tran just amde the sickest call

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)

nice douchey needling

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

How'd this Hanson guy get this far?

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

The lack of interest in this thread speaks volumes for how little chance any game has at overtaking no-limit hold 'em. Even 2+2ers don't care about HORSE very much.

True. People claim they want to watch something other than no-limit holdem on occasion, but they really don't.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

I care!

I think Deeb was a little heavy on the berating. Show some class and be thankful you're HU with 2 fish.

It's HORSE, but still it's only a MTT. All MTTs are at least 90% luck, maybe 95% luck.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

The thing no one remembers about that hand is that the dude was actually holding Queen high.

Not that it matters. :P

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

I enjoyed watching it

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

I was very happy to have 6 hours of something other than coin flips involving pair and overcards.....

I just don't think there was a lot to comment about in the episodes besides Trans call, (followed by his fishey call w pair of 6's...) and Hanson taking forever to decide on whether to check or bet... Good for Freddie for calling clock.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

The episodes were fun to watch, but pretty uneventful.

Unlike NLHE, I don't think most 2+2 members are qualified enough to have advanced discussion about Stud8 and Omaha8 hands. Furthermore, the actions during those hands tend to be pretty standard moves for the most part.

I enjoyed it. Will watch again.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/30 - $50k HORSE - Final Table)
 

I enjoyed it. I thought it was the best event of this years WSOP coverage. Hell if JMan had been shown we'd have an extra 3000 posts in this thread arguing about if he's a donk or not.

"the youngest at the table is kenny tran at age 33."

lol, i just realized how far behind the majority of internet pros are.
