"Official" WSOP Circuit thread (Bally's LV Pt. 2 and 3)

[JackWhite]

The question is: will Lee Watkinson ever play a hand?

[MaddHatter]

Just tuned in and caught Hachem bust out to Watkinson

I'm 90% positive he was saying Hachem was a fluke winner. If you've been watching at all you've probably noticed Kido has a very sarcastic sense of humor.

[MaddHatter]

Isn't Kido the guy from Dallas who went all-in last year in a 3 way Final Table pot with TT vs JJ vs AK and flop came TJA or something sick like that?

[KOTLP]

God that JT KK hand was ugly, Kido so deserved to be knocked out.

He said not. There was no smile from anyone. He was serious. Listen to him again.

Nooooo, you got all kinds of stuff messed up. That scenario happened at a 2005 WSOP final table between Minh Nguyen, Webber Kang and Bill Gazes.

Kido finished 2nd at the Doyle Brunson NA Championship (WPT Event) in 2005, the event Carlos Mortensen won.

Ya that was a pretty terrible play with the JT, Hachem put in what the 3rd raise? I think it's pretty clear he wasn't gonna fold to a big all in...

hachem wins that hand and he's monster chip leader and cruises to head's up most likely.

but that's poker, besides, Hachem ran well for the big $$$ anyway so you can't feel bad for him.

[TomHimself]

remember the thread back when this happened where hachem told watkinson to fold. they seemed to really like each other. collusion? prolly not

[Uppercut]

I learned a lot from watching this episode. For example, I will now play 53o and 62s much more frequently, as they are clearly monsters.
