Re: Poll: Most / Least like-able players at the WSOP FT

I think the prayer stuff with Yang turned me off on him. But he played the best by far. The only one that really made moves outside of AK, and maybe Rahme. He did get some great cards. I think he only made 1 or 2 bad calls the entire time.

Exactly...he made moves...he put pressure on with subpar hands, he didn't wait around to pick up big hands v. big hands situations, he constantly put pressure on. He was stealing left and right @ the final table if you watched the PPV broadcast. I know he didn't do it by the book, raising 6-10xBB, etc, but those huge raises just crushed any opportunity to call/outplay the guy postflop, which Hilm tried to do early(by CALLING 10xBB preflop with KQo from OOP!) I doubt Yang would have a great track record playing 10000 MTTs online, but in this one isolated final table, with all the $$$ and all the pressure in the world...he played above the rim.
