Is Tom McEvoy the biggest pussy in the poker world? How could he lay down his TPQK hand to Scotty after Scotty bet 1/4th the pot on the turn. McEvoy somehow convinced himself that Scotty had AKo and he was therefore drawing dead to the river. And don't forget this is a friggin' freeroll. What a nit.

I watched about 30 minutes of it yesterday, and I did catch that hand. He did come accross as a nit. I have a feeling he's broke!

I was amazed watching this. Not only the actual play but he looked absolutely terrified.

I think it was the small bet that fooled him- he looked ready to call or raise, but then got really perplexed by the bet size, so I imagine Scotty has underbet like that before vs. him with a big hand. Still can't believe he folded. Why even defend with AQ if you're going to play like that when an ace flops?

Also gotta love Seif and that other moron commenting that Scotty was trying to keep the pot small with that bet, not mentioning that he could have kept it even smaller by checking behind.

Hellmuth going nuts on two hands he got beat by a nut flush and a nut straight, one opp holding KQs and the other JTs because he couldn't believe they would call preflop with those hands. Does he think holdem is a 2 card game?

The pathetic thing is that Hellmuth never got a penalty called on him for all the F-Bombing he did during that episode...still some floor personell / TD's that get a little star struck and not enforce the rules equally.

LOL Tom's not broke, Tom still travels the tournament scene, and has had some decent success including winning 1 PPT event, he also represents Poker Stars. Looking at The Hendon Mob DB they are excluding at least one extremely tough final table he took down...I'll have to search and try to find that one on google or something.

I think you're thinking of WSOP conduct rules.

[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Scotty Nguyen ; he's a donk but he's entertaining. McEvoy really seemed like a shell-shocked fish who plays the local 1/2 game and was terrified at the table. Weird.

No, I am thinking of the rules that they were supposed to be following in this tournament.

Jan Fisher is a good friend of mine *she's also one of the founding members of the TDA* and the FT studio announcer for the PPT, and was sitting to the right of Phil during this situation and it was she who told me they failed to issue a penalty.
