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

As others said, the telecast didn't capture the final table dynamic at all. It was like ESPN went out of their way to make Yang look like a luckbox (or at least more of a luckbox then he actually was). They showed all these hands that went to showdown, but in untelevised hands Yang was picking up blind after blind as the other players were waiting for each other to bust out. Yang 3bet Kravchenko like 8 times or something, and all but the KK and the AK he folded. Now Yang obviously would get killed in the long run against anyone, but in this particular situation, the Main Event Final Table with lots of money on the line and everyone on the table playing really tight, his over-aggressive strategy was much better than what anyone else was doing.
