Isn't this the one with JJ Liu where she has some medical problem at the table?

edit: and in the process olivert gets fired for overstepping his bounds?

It is, although Oliver's moved up in talent, he has World Champion Jerry Yang (for now).

Back to the Bay 101 tournament, this final table featured:

Seat 1 Ted Forrest $2,006,000
Seat 2 James Van Alstyne $1,139,000
Seat 3 JJ Liu $966,000
Seat 4 Vince Shaw $1,518,000
Seat 5 Amir Shayesteh $2,731,000
Seat 6 Bill Edler $638,000

Vince Shaw looks familiar. Which one of the Village People was he?

So the good news is that we will never hear from him again. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I thought Yang was Laotian, not Chinese.

I am still confused by Amir's call early on to double JJ up. He raises with A-3. He gets two callers including JJ with A-8. Flop comes 8-7-x (2 I think). It gets checked around. Then an A hits the turn. JJ checks, Amir bets and JJ comes over the top all-in. Why would Amir call that?What is your Ace with a 3 kicker beating at that point. Would JJ check raise the original raiser all-in after the Ace hits the turn if she couldn't beat an Ace with a terrible kicker?

[Wetdog]

I see dumb calls like this all the time. "I gots a ace and she's bluffing. I call."

The play wasn't very good from the amateurs.

That 2x pot shove by Ted was sweet. I think he put her on a smaller flush.

[Dima2000123]

Is it just me, or was Amir the biggest donk this season, even surpassing the original man of God EG Harvin and Roll Eyes Weiss? Every hand he played he grossly misplayed. He wasn't even that aggressive, which makes it doubly surprising that a guy of his skill made it to the final table. He must've cold-decked quite a few players on the way to the final table.

What kind of medical problems and what did Oliver do?
