Re: It it final yet? Chip Reese 2006 WSOP $50K H.O.R.S.E Champ
Chip deserves the recognition, even if he doesn't care about it.
He isn't a NLHE player in the slightest, so to just hold on the chip lead for the win at the final table is an accomplishment.

Are you kidding? All of the big mixed games involve NLHE. I'm sure Chip Reece can play every type of poker at a world class level.

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Looking at Danny N's blog, it seems that NLHE is usually there, and Barry Greenstein rates Chip's no-limit game as almost equal to his limit game. (He does rank his tournament abilities a good bit lower than his cash game abilities, though.) In any case, it's very very impressive to mostly move out of tournament play for 25 years, and then win a tournament as power-packed and significant as this one.

[ QUOTE ] Yeah, all it takes is sucking out a few times. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Seriously. Andy got it all in with the chip lead as a 70% (Reese hit his gutshot) and 55% (Reese made his flush) favorite, and once as a 40-60 dog (when he had a 6-1 lead). Let's not go around thinking Reese didn't get extremely lucky to win this thing. [/ QUOTE ] So what? You have to have the cards fall your way to win a tournament. Thanks for pointing out the obvious to us.
