  1. Wrong thread I guess:I was lucky enough to be there on Sunday (Monday morning) for the final 11. Here are my thoughts after watching them play.Seat 1 - Jon Kalmar - My impression of him was that he was not a great player. He was very animated at the table and didn't seem to be paying attention to every hand. He continually would fold his hand and then go talk to his wife. ( I may be partial because his drunk friend kept bumping into me and was annoying the whole crowd)Seat 2 - Lee Childs - Very inexperienced in that it seemed easy to push him off handsSeat 3 - Philip Hilm - Not afraid to push chips into the middle at any point, preflop, or post flop. It's easy to see he's experience and will be a big threatSeat 4 - Jerry Yang - Probably the biggest wild card. He seemed aggressive and a good decision maker, however, he kept backing down when raised. It was very interesting because mutlitple times when he was pushed all in, he was very active, standing up, counting his chips, but then each time he backed down. It seemed like he wasn't willing to take a risk of missing the final table. Either he will be more ready to take a chance tonight or will continue to play passive after re-raised. Seat 5 - Raymond Rahme - seemed very tight and patient. He walked away from the table for probably 12-15 of the 30 hands, 10-handed. I think he went to smoke and just walked around for an extended amount of time.Seat 6 - Tuan Lam - I was very impressed with is play. Very agressive and confident.Seat 7 - Alex Kravchenko - Would not have been at this table without a bad call by Philip. Seat 8 - Lee Watkinson - He has the most experience so he should be a favorite. He was the only one not pumping his fists when it went down to 9.Seat 9 - Hevad 'Rain' Khan - I know people are very high on him but he seemed very overmatched. I have confidence that he makes good poker decisions but I didn't feel that impressed with his table presence. More experienced players should be able to get him off his game.Here is my order of probability they will win.1. Philip Hilm 2. Lee Watkinson3. Tuan Lam4. Raymond Rahme5. Jerry Yang6. Jon Kalmar7. Alex Kravchenko8. Hevad Khan9. Lee Childs
    Your horse just got knocked out in 9th.
  2. Doyle just doubled up Patrik. Hand #36 - Patrik Antonius Doubles Through Doyle BrunsonHand #36 - Tommy Ly has the button in seat 5, Antonius raises under the gun to 140,000, and Brunson calls from the big blind. The flop comes {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Brunson bets 150,000, and Antonius goes into the tank for several minutes before he moves all in for 275,000, and Brunson calls with {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for two pair, sixes and fives. Antonius shows {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a pair of nines, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.The turn card is the {Q-Diamonds}, and Antonius takes the lead with two pair, queens and nines. The river card is the {7-Clubs}, and Antonius wins the pot.Patrik Antonius, the feared Black Lotus of poker, doubles up in chips to about 830,000.

  4. They are discussing a chop now...Rambo5 - 9.462,239 in chipsLUNOID - 1,775,261 in chipsLee proposed:Rambo gets: $314,749Lunoid gets: $226.116With $30,000 in the middle and the braclet.Lunoid got pissy and said make it 290,000/250,000 with $30,000 in the middle and braclet. They finally agree to that and put $30,865 in the middle with the braclet.edit: I agree with BSmitty in that idk why the hell rambo would do this.

  5. I'm playing in a MTT at FT and get moved to a new table and within a few hands I'm the BB. Blinds are 20/40 and 4 people limp into the pot. I have Queen/9os and check. Flop comes 8-10-Jack. I bet like 120 and get one caller. Turn is a 3. I bet 300, get another caller. River is a Jack. I fire out 600 and he calls. I win the pretty nice size pot and he goes: "**** you, I had pocket aces." When I asked him why he didn't raise he typed some BS and got very pissy.

  6. Thanks for your expert opinion, but if you had taken the time to read my post, you'd realize I wasn't complaining at all. I f'd up and am not making excuses. However, please, keep being the message board tough guy/Poker God, it's incredibly impressive.

  7. I was up $75 on FT the other day and now I'm down like $10. I was rolling and winning about everything I was in, but I've been ice cold lately. A $10 + $1 6 seat Sit N Go just summed up how I've been playing there. I was SB and blinds were 20/40. Two limpers and I have AK suited. I raise to 200, BB folds, limper 1 goes all in for 875, limper 2 calls and I (have around 2000) call as well. Flop comes King-7-6 rainbow and limper 2 goes all in and I call. Of course they turn over pocket kings and I'm done.
