Who played the best/worst among the last four at the FT?

[talentdeficit]

obviously yang's aggression served him well, but it was pretty clear to me that he wasn't being aggressive because he'd thought about it and determined that it was the optimal strategy, he was being aggressive because he was an idiot who had divine faith in his cards. how can anyone seriously see him call a three bet all in with jto or snap call a massive overbet with a9o and think he's good? yang backed into a winning strategy, he made far far more obvious mistakes than anyone else at the table.

I think it's easire to see who played the worst than who played the best - and I thought the worst was Rhomey. He looked like seeing a flop made him nervous, and seeing a turn card would be a nightmare for him. The 2-3 pushes for no reason, his joy he had about laying down 66 4-handed, and his perfctly wrong c-r with KK are enough for me to give him the award.

He didn't snapcall it. lol. He played the best FT by a million, zillion miles.

Rhame was 80 years old...he was ready to kick it in after dinner.

Yang made some sick calls but then again he had the chips to stomach it - I still cant quite get over the A9o but Lee could have easily had 33-88 there. will be great to see some of these hole cards in Oct.

LOL. Calling a reraise with A5o and then calling a CRAI on the flop. Not to mention all his other donk moves. He just got ultra lucky here to hit an ace on the flop while Rahme didn't have one. Having said that, Rahme misplayed KK too, so both players did a lousy job on that hand

I don't think Lam ever tried to show what he could do the entire final table save the last ten hands maybe...He was content moving up (that was obvious, and not necessarily wrong, IMO) and was severely card dead..

Yang dominated play on this table from 9 to 1...it's a no brainer..

Yang deserves credit for his relentless aggression but he also made some 100% genuine DONK plays and got lucky.

yang sucked. i mean, i don't care that aggression won him the title, his aggression was horribly applied and he got lucky.

Horribly misapplied? He won a ton of chips in uncontested (or barely contested) pots, so that even when he started running very unlucky in his races he never relinquished the chip lead. If the rest of the table is going to let you play like Doyle Brunson (i.e. pay for your coinfips with the money from uncontested pots) without standing up to you, then you'd be nuts not to do it.

Jesus outplayed them all!

i can't believe how results oriented all these posts are. how can you seriously claim yang played the best when he called a three bet all in from a nit with jto? yang won. yang still played badly.
