Mikey, it's called coming down. Perhaps a few more bumps before 3 handed play would have helped you defend.

anybody know who won player of the year?

According to ESPN, it was Jeff Madsen. Card Player had it as Phil Hellmuth, aided by finishing 3rd in a tournament held during the ME.

Like a pre-pay kinda deal... Maybe paid for the whole 4th quarter I guess.

Are you serious? This isn't that difficult - Party probably paid for a hunk of commercials for a certain set time period. There's no sense in yanking the commercials if they've already paid for them.

I guess they want the appearance that they are showing every hand, but it seems to me that it would be interesting to tell the viewer that the heads-up portion of the match was over 7 hours long.

Omahahaha · #55 11-08-2006, 09:56 PM

that was HORSE and there was a mention in the background of HORSE of it being the longest HU match ever

1) I was glad they showed two of Sexton's limp-reraise heads-up hands. After reading the match transcript as it was happening, it looked like he did an excellent job of setting up the limp-reraise as the way he was going to play big pots with Daniel in position with big hands.

2) More Gigabet! When is Gigabet's Autobiography going to made into a The Nuts section? Why is it every time he makes a final table, whichever network it's on shows one hand where he fold the turn and dedicates the rest of the broadcast to Norman Chad/VVP's lame jokes?

Is it just me or does Daniel Negreanu suck?

From Negreanu on his FCP board:

"They showed like three hands heads up, but in truth, I fought back for close to 7 hours heads up."

Negreanu is such a tool on TV. He tries to act funny and comes off as an [censored]. I think hes a cool guy away from the felt, but seriously. I didnt know getting your money in bad all the time was getting cold decked. The guy needs 10 Q to outflop kings to win a hand. And he makes 12 predictions, one of them is right and he always calls anyway, "Oh boy I call em good, but I was just curious." Norm wont stfu about him. Sexton handled himself with class and performed excellent.
