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

Shame Kravchenko didn't win it. He played 10 times better than anybody else at the final table.

This is IMO again a wrong perception created by showing a limited number of hands. Just like Yang seemed to lose many big hands and yet never move down much on ESPN, Kravchenko was doubling up without moving up much on ESPN.

On the small hands that PPV viewers saw, Yang was scooping up the blinds, limps, and even raises PF like crazy. OTOH, Kravchenko was quickly bleeding the chips he won in his double-ups, by limp folding or raise-folding pre-flop. Kravchenko played well only when he was in push-fold mode.
