They are starting the coverage on the first day so you dont ee all in becasue there stacks are very deep in relaiton to blinds. Probably 10k chips and blinds aorund 25-50 or sumthing.

Typical lame ESPN coverage. I guess bet sizes are only important enough to mention every once in awhile.

i don't think those trip Aces could have been played worse

Is Funston a joke? This guy makes watching almost unwatchable.

From what I recall, it gets even better with Funston near the bubble. Seems Haveson and Nguyen decided to skip the lessons regarding hand rankings and how to bet.

I don't think Men waited that long. How does he bet 8k into that river when his two pair got counterfeited? Did he really think Funston would lay it down?

the hands w/ quads are hilarious

Funston is an absolute fool. He figured if he had any one pair he would call..he didnt have to have an overpair, he could have been in there with so many hands to pay men off.

tpir and i discussed this hand. we decided that nguyen must have been almost sure that the dude had QJ-AJ, TT.

How long before Men gets his student Funston to chip dump to him?

I'm about 20 minutes behind (watching on TiVo), and this K3 hand is hilarious.
