I felt it is actually a sign that they admit that they played it stupidly. I far prefer that to when they try to argue logically that they made the correct play.
i never looked at it that way. IT makes sense.

After a beat like that, the guy needs to stack his chips and shut the **** up.His hit to Moneymaker was pretty low class as well.

As Hachem raked a pot Kido Pham says, " You're the real deal Hachem. You are not just a fluke that won one tournament....like Moneymaker."Sure it might be true but he was still outta line.

I agree 100%. After last years Main Event I thought that he seemed like a genuine guy. Now, after seeing him add to his results at this years WSOP, I don't think anyone can call him a fluke. He plays very well. It was interesting to hear him talk about his temper on the show tonight. He always seems so in control...it's impressive to know that he keeps his anger under control that well.

kido is quickly becoming one of my favorite players lol. he just said out loud what everyone else thinks about monemaker. his trash talk got him calls too. He had JC tran putting in his entire stack drawing to two outs, he got doug lee to stick in his stack with king weak when he had the nuts...the j10vKK made me cringe a bit but he made it pretty clear when he called with a six high flush draw how he was going to be playing that day.

Before Hachem called, I thought this play was somewhat brilliant and that he got sorta unlucky to find a hand here. I think Hachem (personally) needs JJ+ to call there and JJ is a stretch. he was contemplating folding kings here. Hachem gives a lot of credit to preflop LRR's (see commentory on his qx hand against kanter.) I immediately thought of that hand as soon as he got moved in on and I wouldn't doubt a much more experienced player would have thought about that comment as well before making that play. That being said, depending on how tight Hachem was playing out of the blinds, his range may very welll have been comrpised 75% of QQ-AA.

They all "feel it."I had a guy call a raise, call a pot-sized bet on the flop, call a pot + 10% sized bet on the turn and call a pot-sized bet on the river with a 5 high flush. He was calling down a board of Kh Kd Qh / As / 9h with a 2-5 hearts. After the hand, he messages "I worried you had a better flush than me." I had to message back, "No, I only had a KsJd. nh."

can i get a link to the hand or will i be able to find it on cardplayer easyEDIT: I think i misread the thread, was it a past event shown today?
It was the circuit event shown last night on ESPN at 9pm eastern. I don't remember the specifics, but TJ or Lee (don't remember who) raised to 30k with A8, I think Pham made it 50k (maybe more?) with 10Jos, and Hachem reraised 150 with KK. A8 folded and Pham pushed for around 250ish. Hachem called and the flop was J rag J and the board bricked out for Hachem and he was crippled to a very short stack.I could be wrong on the specifics, but it's what I can remember from memory.

Then came – the hand. What followed next was a bombshell or an abomination, depending upon one's perspective. The hand clearly demonstrates that poker tournaments can be either won or lost within seconds. It all started when 2005 world poker champion Joe Hachem was dealt pocket Kings. After J.C. Tran made an initial 18,000 raise, Kido Pham re-raised another 50,000. Hachem must have thought he was in final table heaven. Pondering his move, Hachem re-raised again up to 150,000. Tran immediately folded and Pham moved over the top with an all-in re-raise, for 157,000 more. Hachem later admitted that he feared his opponent having pocket Aces. But there was no way to lay down the big hand. Hachem called and Pham knew immediately he had made the wrong move at the wrong time. Pham sheepishly showed J-10, a huge underdog to Hachem's powerhouse K-K. With 650,000 in the pot at stake (about half of the chips in play), it was to be the turning point of the final table. "I didn't want to play a big pot," Hachem said later. "But I made the right read and was the leader by a mile." When three cards fell on the flop, the second floor of the Ballys Casino was rocked to its foundation. It took a few seconds for Hachem's eyes to focus on the horror he was about to confront. Wham! J-J-2 (trip Jacks) twisted Pham from a big dog into a huge favorite and put the pocket Kings into a meat grinder. In an instant that will certainly haunt Hachem for some time, the Australian's dreams of winning his second WSOP title were demolished. Hachem failed to catch one of two remaining Kings and was left with just 40,000 in chips. The damage has clearly been done. Hachem looked like he had been hit in the stomach with a sledgehammer.
