No love for Norman Chad getting hit in the nuts with a frisbee?

btw how hilarious was Billy Gazes???

omg, i was like ZOMG PWNED!

first there was some commentary about practice with some actual kicker... 2 seconds later he "kicked" the ball and it looked like a damn giraffe breakin his legs!
and t add insult to injury this really cool girl threw the ball in his face!

PRICELESS!

I wasn't expecting such a laugh out loud moment right after he fell over from kicking the ball so it has become my all time "Nuts" favorite right after Doyle's "Milk and Cookies" comment.

I think getting hit by the intern was the topper.

Meh. Staged, and it didn't even hit him that hard.

Norman: Do we have a sammy farha effect?
Lon: We all walk around with unlit cigarettes maybe.

That was humorous. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Gold looks pretty rough for the defending WSOP champion. He's aged terribly, not to mention the fact that it looked like he hadn't had a shower in weeks. I'm going to go ahead and start the Jamie Gold blow rumors right.... now.

The thing that shocked me most was T.J. Cloutier's all-in with a pair of 6s. Was that mid-pair or bottom pair?

I couldn't believe it because I have his video game, World Class Poker, and there's a quiz section in that where almost all the 'right' answers (that he explains in video) are weak-tight to a huge degree.

Another thing I was surprised at was that Matusow couldn't knock the Peanut over...seriously, he's wearing that ginormous peanut costume, how good could his balance be? [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Actually kinda reminded me of Giant Mathias Kiwanuka's quitting on the Vince Young sack attempt (which was a huge blow to my Giants' season).

-Moneymaker always looks taxed. If you're not having fun just give it up bro. Then he plays that chase-em-down style *gags*

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, he really looks he doesn't enjoy this at all.

-WTF ESPN?? We need the lead-up action on that Ferguson/Varkonyi hand. His call w/ the JJ made abosolutely NO sense, especially vs. a fellow nit opponent. Something else had to have happend there.

[/ QUOTE ]
Totally agree, Ferguson's move made no sense there. Could he really have been suckered by Varkonyi's all-in that bad?

I see someone else note that the pot was actually 15K...but that still a big stretch. Ferguson not quite getting 2:1 there. Calling with Js is maybe justifiable I guess, but unexpected.

anyone annoyed by seeing hachem hugging danneman??? i thought of this as camera time...complete camera mugging. who cares? they didnt play an epic heads up battle and nobody really even cares about danneman

[/ QUOTE ]
Oh come one now...someone can't be friendly without being accused of camera mugging??

I'm sure that even in that coked/meth'd up brain of his the thought of being sued and having to face the ignominy of then publicly admitting to be in such huge debt made him pull that tackle.

Kid: "i have a flush"
Jamie: "I call"

Jamie loses, kid has flush, LOL, LOL , LOL< see how annoying that [censored] is Jamie???!?!?

That first hand Gold played was hysterical and I guess he didn't try to screw his partner out of 1/2 his winnings or is this more Jamie damage control??

[/ QUOTE ]

My question on this one is, why didn't anyone call the floor on that kid? I mean they (the WSOP people) made a huge deal about how this year people were not going to get away with talking about their hand in a middle of a hand (like Gold did last year)?

I did like the fact though, that Jamie got burned by his own angle shoot from last year! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Best of all, even after the kid told Jamie he had a Flushie, Jamie STILL bets 3k into the kid!

Anybody else notice Moneymaker seemed like a total tellbox?
That A7 vs A9 hand was especially painful to watch. I think he was trying to take a page out of the Jamie Gold book.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, Moneymaker is a really nice guy. I played at the same table as him at Ceasars Indiana back at the WSOPCE in March (Event #1). He's actually a pretty good player IMO, and a nice friendly all around guy.

However, I think based on watching him play in the WSOPME Day 1, he was totally on Tilt this time around, and should of taken a time out or something, once he got that double up.
