Did Mimi Rogers ever have a stroke? And what about her laydown of TT to Tony G's reraise with AK? And is it standard to get up and leave when the break begins and you are out of the hand, even when there is action on the table still? Maybe that's the norm, I've just never seen it. And I do agree with the announcers, seeing Mimi lay down pocket tens would have certainly given the table more info about just how tight she is playing.

And I almost felt bad for Tony G with his 55, until I recalled his berating and douchebaggery in the past. Then I laughed.

I think this show would be far more entertaining if Mimi Rogers unleashed those massive saggy cans.

I'd settle if she wore a skimpier top. She really needs to rethink her wardrobe choices.

Lol, I love the canned applause whenever someone is eliminated. I also love how the commentators were so amazed at Oppenheim's laydown of KK on the river. I also love when Bigler had A8s and Mimi had 66 and Seif and Coy (whatever his name is, I don't even know what he has to do with poker) agreed that Mimi should raise to "isolate" Bigler. Have they ever heard about pot control and deep stack play? I can't wait to see who will become the best of the best!!!

I also think a lot of pros don't take it seriously. The prize pool sucks, so I think most of them just try and take risks to build their chip stacks up early. No use playing for days only to go in 7th and not make any $$$.

Did anyone get that football analogy? It was sooooooo funny. I think it was Matt Corboy, he just keeps going on about being deep in your own zone and it's fourth down and you have to punt it or go for it and you have a good running game and the offence knows it or something like that. LOL.

Why do Bigler and Mimi Rogers both have the crooked faces?

Mimi has definitely not aged well. And somebody needs to tell her that she doesn't play anywhere near as well as she thinks she does.

I find the football references on the PPT offensive. I like football, but I don't want Madden putting everything in baseball terms there. I also don't want my poker treated like it needs to be compared to some other sport to have value. Drop the "quarter" references PPT please, take it seriously.

Other than that, one of the best poker shows on TV. At least they're showing real tournament play, throughout the tournament, not just the last six people at the final table.
