Alex,

Sucks, but $282,367 is still a hot start to the Series. Nice job.

Awesome job! Good luck in the rest of the Series!

Ok, seriously, what is with these interview chicks(and all of them do it) asking about "What one hand propelled you to where your at?" or "Any memorable hands?" after a 3-4-5-6 day tournament?

Sick hand though, gj Alex and gl in the rest of the series!

alex must have made a good read. obviously the dude with 77 thought he was bluffing on an A K J 4 board. AJ thought he was snapping off the bluff.

[Ramon Scott]

The interview was, well... uncomfortable.

Tech,

Maybe, but keep in mind that this is just a $1500 event, so it's not like he was really trying. Remember what he said in his SI interview?

"Jacob: Well, at this point in my career, I'm really just focused on major events. In the poker world, that means events with $10,000 or higher buyins. I'm still going to play some smaller events in the World Series of Poker, because you pretty much have to if you want a chance at winning the most bracelets of all time. But I don't take any of those smaller buyin events very seriously. With my track record, everyone basically assumes I will dominate in those events. The only interesting question is how many major titles I can win at this point. There are still a number of players out there who are close to my level, so I definitely have to focus when playing the majors. If I don't, there are quite a few players who have a chance at beating me. Not really the old names from ESPN, but some of the proven stars like Jeff Madsen and Patrik Antonius and young upstarts like Doug Kim and Jason Strasser. I can guarantee you these guys are training hard to try and get their game to my level, so I have to stay focused and maintain my skill advantage over them."
