dola: I guess you could call it the first really big Matusow Moment (named after last year's Drama King.
hopefully, Eric Molina is not the new face of poker.

Maybe so, but I think Gold is an even bigger prick...
Gold Eliminates Richard Gryko in 50th ($164,932) Jamie Gold raises to $100,000 under the gun, and action folds around to Richard Gryko on the button. Gryko moves all-in for $920,000 total. Gold calls and flips over AK. Gryko shows, J3. The flop falls K66, and Gold says, "there's the King, he's almost drawing dead." A few audience members start calling for a duece as a response. The turn is the J, and the room quiets down. Gold speaks up to reminds everyone that a three will not help Gryko's hand, and that only a jack will save him. The river is the 9, and Gold wins the hand. Richard Gryko is eliminated in 50th place, collecting $164,932. Gold is up to $7,200,000.

Wow, how you can call that bigger then throwing your all in button, swearing and that kinda trash talk compared to a factual representation of where they were on the hand..

Geez.. Gold is the Tazmanian devil.. just taking out player after player.
David Murray pushes all-in for $825,000 under the gun. Action folds to Jamie Gold in middle position, and he calls the all-in. Everyone else folds, and Murray reveals 22. Gold shows 1010. The flop comes 1052. The turn is the Q, and the river is the K. David Murray is eliminated in 48th place securing $164,932. Jamie Gold is currently sitting with $8,100,000.

and they're done for the day with 45 left in the tourney.
Likely a short day tommorrow, as they'll only play down to 27.

Given the various hand descriptions I've seen involving Gold, including the one I posted, it seems very likely that Molina was probably reacting to something Gold did earlier.

Heh.. Are you sure you're not just reacting to the fact that Gold is a Hollywood Agent?
(Not an A-List Agent, by any means, maybe a B+ agent, from a card player interview he says he's represented the following people: James Gandolfini, Lucy Liu, Brandy, Felicity Huffman, and Kristin Davis.)

When I was there there were thousands of kids that looked like Molina. It's like they cloned one 22 year-old white male jackass and then dressed each one differently, mixed and matched facial hair, and let them loose in the Rio.

It seems Greg Raymer blasted Daniel Negreanu over he weekend regarding the lawsuit against the WPT - said Daniel was "stupid" and he was "glad he's out" of the world series. He's my new nominee for Jackass of the Year.

I'd be more inclined to take Raymer's side. I cannot stand Negreanu's antics. He's carried on some personal vendetta against Annie Duke for quite some time, complaining about her behavior, but then he was the first person to defend Josh Arieh's bullshit at the 2004 WSOP. He also complained about Annie not deserving to be on the original TOC, but it was okay for him to get Evelen Ng into the WPT Ladies Night freeroll.
I actually find people like Negreanu, Arieh, Esfandiari and that whole crowd to be alot more annoying than Hellmuth or Matusow.

I used to think the world of Negreanu, but my opinion of him continues to go downhill. However, in this particular situtation I think Raymer's in the wrong.

So, are we witnessing a jumping of the shark of sorts wrt poker, at least as far as the World Series is concerned? If the new faces of poker will be a bunch of jerks who play on the net (complete with !!!!1!! lol wtf), who will enjoy watching poker played live by these people? Moneymaker and Raymer appealed because they were mature guys who held actual jobs before they had the lucky run to win the Main Event. What sort of draw do these bots offer?

Goddamn! Gold must be on a major rush again, as now he has more than twice the chips ($14.7 million) of the 2nd place person ($6.8 million)

If they are only playing down to 27 players today then it was a short session.
Lynch, Friedman, Cunningham, and Lisandro still alive. |

Ouch one of those big plasma screen TVs they put up to show the camera footage and the blinds information fell and shattered.
No one hurt, but the crash had to put everyone's nerves on edge >

First of all, the room where they were holding the Fox final table was sealed. No Cell phones, no pagers etcetera. Secondly, the players could not leave the room. If you take a look at Ivey in the check presentation, he's in serious hurting because he had stomach problems and couldn't leave the room to use the restroom Too much risk of players getting info they shouldn't.. and the difference between places at the end of this tournament is so huge.

Well, for it to work in the WSOP, you'd have to take the Poker Dome route, put the players behind soundproof glass. Takes away from the atmosphere.
(yes, I'm trying to push the thread to another page to get rid of the jackass picture as well )

Ok, I'm going to be in Vegas on Thursday, and with the final table starting up at noon...
A) How long into the night will it go? 2) How hard would it be to get into the room? I'm guessing impossible.

I completely agree that this thing works great live if they can figure out how to do hole cards... I don't think they'll have any trouble getting folks to stay tuned-in...

Gold knocks out another with AJ vs QJ.
it's not fair for the monster chip stack guy to always have a hand when someone plays back at him!

Jesus Cristo, if this CP update is right (always a challenge), this is ridiculous..
Gold has 19.6 Million, Friberg in 2nd has 8.2 million. Butler in 3rd has 6.0 Million When 1st place has 33% more then 2nd and third COMBINED, that's a dominating chip stack.
