Ecclesbury 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I was thinking the other day what the chances would be that every single event of a WSOP was won by a first time bracelet winner.We're up to 15 this year, but this looks like breaking the trend. Only Tony G and Benyamine can keep it rolling.I vaguely remember a WSOP triple draw event being aired a few years back with a pretty stacked final table. From a TV point of view (as opposed to a poker view) it didn't make great tele because they all just got on with the job of playing poker and not acting up and getting overtaken with emotion.Although saying that, this final table is about as perfect as you could get from a broadcasters point of view. Swap Barry for DN and Tom Schneider for some young kid with a heart breaking back story playing his first ever live tournament with the last of his families money and you would have a winner.

It was the actually the 2004 $5000 limit 2-7 draw event. The final table was:1. Barry Greenstein2. Chris Ferguson3. Wil Wilkinson4. Howard Lederer5. Chau Giang6. Steve Zolotow7. Lyle BermanThat explains why it wasn't the most riveting TV! Link to post Share on other sites

Funny thing about that '04 final table...ESPN definitely filmed it. It is on You Tube. But I don't think they ever aired it on the network. When I saw it on You Tube, I could not remember the entire FT being aired (and I watched EVERY week), but I did remember the scene where Binion's ordered pizza for all the players. Lo and behold, I was watching a replay of one of the 7-card stud events from that year on ESPN classic and they showed highlights of the event, the players eating pizza at the tables and Count Chockula slipping on the bracelet.

jdrury12 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Action folded around to Tom Schneider on the button and he raised to 35,000. Barry Greenstein made the call from the big blind and asked for two cards. Schneider took just one card. After the draw, Greenstein checked and Schneider pushed out 50,000. Greenstein thought a bit, then made the call. Schneider smiled and turned up . Matusow quipped "uh oh...Tom got his hand caught in the cookie jar." Greenstein tabled for the win and took down the pot.Don't play this game hardly at all, but this seems like a pretty sick call. Link to post Share on other sites
