[ QUOTE ]
Barely saw any Jerry Yang.

This guy must be the most boring person in the world to win this thing and to remain a blip on the episodes up to now.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know the inner-working of putting together one of these telecasts, but I would assume their footage of him pre-final 36 was minimal. Gold was such a massive chip leader and had the personality that they basically had to show him. I assume there hasn't been a good reason to have the cameras tuned to Yang, yet. I didn't even notice, was there anyone else significant at his table? Oh yeah, the boring thing, too.

Thoughts

- remember kids, I was into Maria first. Back off. She is super cute.

- Rahme tried SO many times to bust out of this. He spent most of the final table trying to bust out and go home and sleep. It's funny to see him do that more.

- I feel like I should like Kirk Morrison more than I do, but between the wsop coverage during the event, and ESPN's fawning over him, I'm just tired of the guy.

- Nicksdad is right, that Dag dude is very much a young Carl Edwards. I wonder how his backflip is?

Thanks God for giving Yang the freaking runner runner straight, and subjecting us to the most boring final table in WSOP history - the one that's going to kill poker.

Also you can tell Kenny Tran's been around a while. He was sick when he saw Rahme's 77. Horrible plays like that seem to get rewarded a lot.

Khan is 100% a bigger douche than Molina.

Khan is fat. He is easily a deuce and a half.

This was the worst two hours of WSOP coverage I've ever seen.

I predict it will get better up until the final table, then descend into a whole new level of awfulness that will set a new standard for boring, unwatchable poker. Hereafter known as "Yang/Rahyme-tastic".

By By the way the call with the two 7's was one of the worst calls Ive ever seen on TV or live. Right after the call bythat kid with KK while two people were alreday celebrating while he was in the tank.
