Go Lee Childs. He is a graduate of James Madison University, just like me. Second straight year a JMU grad has made the final table of the Main Event (Rhett Butler). Perhaps next year I'll make it three years in a row!

You got 2nd leveled... or you are 3rd leveling. I am not sure.

I attempted to play my hand in a way that was equally efficacious on the first and third levels, since i wasn't 100% certain at which level my rhetorical opponent was working.

One of my leaks being unable to determine what meta-elevation is appropriate upon entering a game. I often try to find a line that works on many levels...kind of like when i volunteer for the Special Olympics and make jokes that are simultaneously funny to the athletes and the parents but for entirely different reasons. I have no idea whether Brad1970 is the athlete or the parent in my simile, but my answer applies in either case.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANN!

What can we say about 2p2 poster Hevad RaiNKhAN Khan, who starts at the FT with 9,205,000 chips? He's a little excited to be there!



The Hendon Mob shows two cashes so far for this WSOP for Hevad, and total cashes of $23,885.

He's become a Youtube star. We have:

The WSOP Chair Dance
The 26 SNG video
Khan is good at baseball

On a more serious note we have the Day 4 interview.

Khan tells 2p2 he won his ME seat.

Here's a Pokerlistings interview on July 13.

Cardplayer introduces Hevad:

Hevad “Rain” Khan is a 22-year-old professional poker originally from Poughkeepsie, N.Y. He attended college at the State University of New York-Albany. He has since moved around the country, living in both the San Francisco bay area and Las Vegas. Khan's claim to fame before arriving at this final table was his extraordinary ability to play multiple poker games simultaneously. In what can only be described as a prodigal Bobby Fischer-like capability, Khan has played in as many as 43 poker games all at once on his home computer.

He also did a Pro Blog for them.

I'm ecstatic, I can say that the final table bubble was the most mentally grueling thing, even though I thought I played as well as I could. I really would have liked to see some of the hands that Phillip had when I was in action with him, and I was being reraised. I played as well as I could though.

I did chip down a little bit when it began, but nothing is a guarantee in poker. From the beginning of day two and day three when people were talking to me and asking me what my goals were were. I said if I misplay a hand then I'll be upset with myself. If the cards don't come my way, and I face resistance, and I fail to have something then thats part of the gamble


Finally, his WSOP FT video interview.

Enjoy!

I've never seen Hilm play before, but I'm def. rooting for him if Watkinson doesn't take it down. He sounds like a beast.

He's had some success on the EPT, made a final table or two I believe.

What a funny man

Pros on the Rail
Phil Hellmuth was spotted lurking around the final table. Tournament director Jack Effel mentioned that the 11-time bracelet winner was watching the six remaining players.

"He can't even spell poker," joked Rain Khan. "I can spell poker."

Hellmuth walked up to the table and said, "I just want to see what the 250,000 chips look like.


PH put the P in poker you **** ****.
