Yeah, he was involved in the taping for that. I guess they had 3 filming days, he was on day 2 and wasn't asked back for day 3 because he wasn't entertaining enough.
there's more to it then just this. He was mainly supposed to play in the day 3 500K buy in uber deep stack, but he showed up for the day 2 taping as an alternate to possibly play. He played really tight on the day 2 taping because 1) there was only like an hour or two left in the taping and 2) he wanted to save all of his money for the 500K taping the next day. He thought he was still going to play in the 500K day, but was told when he got there that one or two of the big name guys wanted to play and basically the producers took the big name guys over him and held his tightness against him from the second day. Basically he got screwed royally

Seriously? That is so bogus. He and Aba both getting hosed cause they aren't entertaining enough :(To whoever asked who he was, I believe he was crushing sng's and decided to learn NL cash about a year and a half ago. He currently is one of the nosebleed players. He writes for bluff also, and posts on 2p2.He also had the funniest contest to become his student. Everyone that applied had to change their avatar to this one of his face for a month. So 2p2 mid stakes NL forum was filled with threads with his avatar all over it. Hilarious.Mark
So this is the reason why so many people have his face as their avatar?zomg, I literally jus thought it was some weird jopke that I didn't get.You learn something new everyday...

It wasnt just that he wasn't entertaining but he played like a nit and gave no action.Give no action get no action by not being invited back.HSP is entertainment and not a contest to see who is the best NL hold em player.
Playing tight doesn't mean you're not a good NLHE player, it just makes bad TV.

He made a big post on 2+2 right after the filming about being very disappointed with not being invited back for the next day. There were a number of reason for it including not being entertaining, playing too tightly, not having enough money in play (he had $500K saved for the buy-in for the 2nd day) and so forth.

he commented on the whole situation, which is pretty messed up. he took a VERY large part of his bankroll offline in order that he could play. he's probably one of the laggier players at the nose-bleed stakes often making crazy calldowns and REALLY thin value bets (similar to durrr). he nitted up the first day w/ 100k knowing that when he came back the second day he was gonna sit w/ 300k and go balls to the wall (think farha but crazier and with reason).he was pretty crushed when he wasn't asked back for the second day.mark-check local pedophile laws before proposing because i think he just turned 21. :)i'm still at a girls house in l.a from last from last night, but i'm gonna race home to watch this. he will be the first highstakes player whose teaching wasn't primarily done through talor caby or cardrunners. (save for some of their old guest videos)
