i think this is one of the best ones i've seen. probably top 3 easily, and i think i've seen them all.

It was a good one, as they tend to be when two players get knocked out early. As for Joe's last call, I guess he had a concussion after being hit over the head with the deck so many times, and wasn't thinking straight. It seemed like a terrible spot to risk your chip lead when you're almost at a push/fold stage, but everything worked his way that day.

I enjoyed watching Yukon tonight. That's the first I've seen him play other than the brief stint on High Stakes Poker.

I thought it was funny that he actually lives at the Bellagio. Haha. That's dedication. I remember during the USPC broadcast they mentioned that Devon Miller lives at Commerce.

Is this a common practice among serious poker players? I guess it makes sense if you have a favorite place to play. It does seem expensive though. Maybe when you play as high as these guys do, you really don't care anymore.

Anybody know what game Brad usually plays at Bellagio? They said he sometimes plays 17 hours a day I think.

I thought it was very funny when Brad wished Burt would win the tourney so that they could play a cash game. Basically he called him a tourney donk but Mike Sexton didn't even notice it.

well i didnt see burt being only 38

i enjoy watching him play

Re: WPT Mandalay Bay thread
 

It hurts to hear Sexton critiquing how quickly Booth plays, and claims he may not be thinking about what he is doing enough.

Edit: And Boutin's table demeanor must be good for him because if I was at his table I would definitely want to kill him.

No kidding. This seemed about 10 years off to me.

That guy is a basket case.

Seemed like a reasonable critique to me. Of course Yukon knows what he's doing. Everyone makes mistakes though. A couple of his stabs with nothing did seem very fast.

Re: WPT Mandalay Bay thread
 

I've seen Burt Boutin on a handful of TV tables now - the guy is a living, breathing, walking, talking douche chill, just a complete oddball and I don't think he knows it. I am thankful that he did not play with a button-down shirt missing the top 4 buttons this time.
