I can think of nothing better for poker than Mikey winning the whole thing!

if matusow makes the final table who do you think the other guys will hire in those 3 months to coach them on how to play...greg raymer?

If you ever say anything that is neither funny or wise, I am afraid the end will be very near.

The Mouth is out. Mike Matusow Eliminated in 30th Place ($193,000)And this one is gonna hurt for awhile. Paul Snead raised to 200,000 and Mike Matusow raised to 660,000 from the big blind. Snead called, and they saw a {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {5-Hearts} flop. Both players checked, and when the {9-Hearts} came on the turn Matusow bet 500,000. Snead moved all in, Matusow called, and that's when Mike learned that his {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} had been overtaken by Snead's {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.The {K-Clubs} came on the river, and with that Mike Matusow's run in the Main Event came to an end.

The only really big name pro left is Brandon Cantu now.

how about 3 months of waiting for 9 no-names to play a FT nobody really cares about?

If Tiffany Michelle and Cantu make it there will be a lot of hype for those 2. The rest of the field is basically who?

[loogie 115]

It's no longer worth watching.And, please, don't tell me that Michelle being hot makes it so. Porn is free.

I dont think that she is that hot, its probably more relevant thats she's a she (has a female ever made the Final table of the ME before?Its also because she's a recognizable face/Name from her job as a pokernews reporter, so it gives us someone to cheer for. I've never heard of anyone else who is still in (except for Cantu) so based on that alone i hope she wins.This would also be very good for pokers global popularity IMO, it would be disappointing if another Jerry Yang won it.

Chino Rheem is quite established as a pro. Also I'd say that Tiffany Michelle would not be the first woman to final table the ME. Check out 1995.

it was actually on the turn, and thats when the money went in. Mike was playin uber tight all day and 3 bet out of the blind and got called by A9...i dont think there is any hand mike is 3 betting from the blind that A-9 is ahead of.

I guess I'll root for Tiffany Michelle. After having a jackass and a religious guy who doesn't speak good engrish as the last two champions, I think that having a woman be WSOP ME Champ could be good for the game. Unfortunately it'll probably be one of the Eastern Europeans still in that can barely speak English.

Come on guys.Cheer for Nicholas Sliwinski. If only because he is my fraternity brother.That being said, his dream of going to Vegas is something that alot of you guys (and gals) have yourselves.I just bought my plane ticket and I'll be at the Rio in about 9 hours.

Nobody outside of those who really follow poker closely will know who those two are. Your average Joe won't know and won't care about this final table especially with no big name pro's at the table.

ESPN and Harrah's delayed final table just blew up in their faces. Such a boom or bust strategy. If Matusow or Hellmuth had survived to the final table they would look like geniuses.Instead we will have months of buildup for nobodies. (And outside the poker forum world, no one knows about Cantu or T. Michelle.)Cant believe that guy flatted a 3-bet with A9.

Implied odds FTW, obv, imo.

I would think that instead of "blowing up in there faces" this is what the delay was designed for. Other then the Lee's last year(whom I hardly believe were well known to the average viewer) who would the mass public have known?Three months is a helluva long time for the general poker audience to become familiar with a table of unknowns particularly if someone like Tiffany makes it. Do you not think she'll spend three months on the cover of magazines and doing interviews? She'll bank a ton of media interest. Even someone like Cantu who has had success in tourney's will be good for the game to go deep as even if his name isn't familiar to the mass audience for three months his past success will be brought out.While Hellmuth or Matusow making the final nine would've been good it's foolish to think that this delay wasn't designed hugely based on the fact the Harrah's anticipated a final table of relatively unknowns.

Im not sure which way this falls. On the one hand they can spend 3 months promoting the "anybody can win millions" dream and push up the ratings. On the other hand, who really wants to watch 9 randoms basically sit there and see who has the winning lottery ticket.

I think they will have a lot of trouble drumming up interest in 9 relative unknowns. I hope you are right though.

What? Why would that be unfortunate that they don't speak English?Why should the winner of the WORLD series of poker have to speak English?
