Ah, now I get why all the pros covet a PPT trophy... because they'll be so scarce!

omfg rofl syracuse chris

That hand where he took out Ferguson was just sad. He raised early with Jd9d, Ferguson reraised with QQ, Hinchcliffe called with AdKd...then Chris reraised, Ferguson called, and Hinchcliffe folded. At this point, IIRC, Ferguson has committed half his chips or a little less.

The flop comes all rags with 2 diamonds, and Chris tries to bluff Ferguson out. To his credit, he did pretty much convince Jesus he was beat, but he just had too much money in there to fold. Then the turn came with a diamond, and just like that Jesus is eliminated.

Then afterward, the guy tried to defend that flop push to the rest of the table. They pointed how how committed Ferguson was, to which he responded, "so what?"

Maybe I'm missing something, but when a guy reraises then calls your huge 3-bet for 40-50% of his stack, don't you just give up on your junk hand?

How do you like that? In the "Poker Pit" there's a table that has Matusow, D'Agostino, Leonidas, Esfandiari (along with Evelyn Ng and Karina Jett for eye candy). Gee do you think that would be a good table to watch??? How did this one we're watching end up as the featured table instead?

I'll take a guess and say they want to expose more people to the casual poker viewer. Because who doesn't want to see the charisma and excitement this table is generating.

LOL yes it's spellbinding.

I'm all for showing new players, but a lot of these players are repeats. I know Daugherty, Faltinsky, Rice, Syracuse Chris have already been featured on the PPT. I think Isaacs has too.

I don't recall seeing Isaacs, but Judah is another person who has made a PPT feature table early.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I think all 5 people watching the show were thinking it.
