Default Re: WPT World Championship thread

Best episode of the season.

I love the drama of seeing guys like Mortensen, Phan and Wattel dying with every decision and river card, while a guy like Guy is just having fun.

They attract new players, but I'm not that interested in the amateur player who has the run of a lifetime and wins the big event. I'm drawn to the tension of watching these grinding tourney pros try their best to drag out a big score, knowing, based on the size and skill of the fields, this will be one of the few times in their career they will make a 10K or better final table, much less the WPT Championship.

Kudos to Carlos for hanging in there. Morrison's slowroll and the 10 on the river when Carlos was 4-1 to win the title were just brutal.
