WSOP Final Table Spoiler Thread

[Kori Ellis]

Wasicka vs Cunningham again

Flop 2-3-4 rainbow

[Kori Ellis]

Wasicka check, Cunningham 1.1M bet, Wasicka fold

[MannyIsGod]

Cunningham is going to win a big pot eventually because of the way he's playing these small ones.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol Kori is the PBP and I'm the color guy.

[Kori Ellis]

Wasicka vs Gold

checks it all the way down. Gold wins with A high.

[Kori Ellis]

Are you rooting for Cunningham?

[Kori Ellis]

:lol Kori is the PBP and I'm the color guy.

:)

[MannyIsGod]

Why didn't he just move AI? No one is going to call him here. This reeks of premium.

[Kori Ellis]

Butler raises to 900K, everyone folds.

[Kori Ellis]

Why didn't he just move AI? No one is going to call him here. This reeks of premium.

:lol We just said the same thing.

[MannyIsGod]

Are you rooting for Cunningham?Either him or Lee. I'd like to see a pro take it down, though. If nothing else just to prove how much skill matters.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol We just said the same thing.Yeah, the play was stupid as hell. It was transparent.

[Kori Ellis]

San Antonio forgot how much the chips are worth :lol

[MannyIsGod]

I swear everytime I see Lee I expect to see him at some little taco house.

[Kori Ellis]

Lee vs Wasicka

Flop 6-9-Q (two diamonds)

[MannyIsGod]

I think Lee hit a set.

[Kori Ellis]

check/check

7s - Turn

Lee bets 2.5M
Wasicka folds

[MannyIsGod]

I definetly think he hit a set there.

[MannyIsGod]

When the flop came his hand went straight to his cards as if to protect them. Thats a big sign of strength. And the way he played it preflop really looked like a small - mid PP.

[Kori Ellis]

OK I'm taking a break and moving downstairs to the big TV. Manny can continue the commentary. :lol

[Kori Ellis]

When the flop came his hand went straight to his cards as if to protect them. Thats a big sign of strength. And the way he played it preflop really looked like a small - mid PP.

Yeah he probably had pocket 9's.

[MannyIsGod]

AC raised preflop, Butler came over the top from the BB AI.

AC might be priced into a call here.

[MannyIsGod]

AC folds.

[MannyIsGod]

AC raises preflop, Gold calls.

Flop is 483 all spades.

[MannyIsGod]

AC bets postflop, JG folds.

[MannyIsGod]

Big hand plaing out here. JG raises pf and gets called by Lee and Wasicka. Flop is JQQ checked all around, turn another J

[MannyIsGod]

Checked to JG where he bets a 3rd of the pot, both players fold, JG shows 23o

[MannyIsGod]

Thats the 2nd time Gold has given free information. Thats probably going to bite him in the ass, especially with a guy who is playing the way Cunningham is.

[MannyIsGod]

5 players in a pot, flop is AsJ9d

[MannyIsGod]

JG bets a mill and takes it down.

[T Park]

San Antonio forgot how much the chips are worth

My kind of guy.

[Mr Dio]

Either him or Lee. I'd like to see a pro take it down, though. If nothing else just to prove how much skill matters.


How many true "pros" made the final 12-20?
By pro I mean someone that does this for a living as their sole source of income?

[MannyIsGod]

111. Jamie Gold raises to $800,000 from middle position and Allen Cunningham calls from the big blind. The flop comes 8diamond8heart3diamond and Cunningham checks. Gold bets $1,000,000 and Cunningham makes the call. The turn is the 2club and both players check. The river is the Qspade and Cunningham checks. Gold bets $2,000,000 and Cunningham makes the call. Cunningham turns over Aheart9diamond for ace high and Gold mucks his hand. Cunningham rakes a big pot.

[T Park]

won with A high card.

unreal.

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit RL is all in preflop with JJ v JG's QQ!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Lee is done. He got married to those Jacks which was a poor play.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Horrible play by Lee, he has made some questionable plays this whole final table

[MannyIsGod]

Thats a really really really poor play by Lee. I don't know how else to break it down. JJ is not worth going all in preflop against the big stack when you'e second in chips!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I just found out they're broadcasting it live on Sirius. I might go sit in my truck and take a listen.

[MannyIsGod]

How many true "pros" made the final 12-20?
By pro I mean someone that does this for a living as their sole source of income?Alan Cunningham is the only one.

[Mr Dio]

Alan Cunningham is the only one.


What is up with the recent lack of updates man!?!?!?! :lol

[MannyIsGod]

They're taking a 90 minute dinner break :P

This "pro" needs to also play some hands tonight so that I can pay the bills.

[Mr Dio]

:lol
Good luck to you all.
If I'd known early in the afternoon that there was a mini GTG I would've napped. I'm tired as hell! Getting up before 10a is not my thing.

[SequSpur]

Lee f'ed that shit up........

Almost as bad as forfeiting rebounds in an NBA playoff series.

[MannyIsGod]

At this point, I believe barring a hot streak the only person with a chance to take down Gold is Alan Cunningham. However, I'm not even sure he can overcome that stack. Gold can put so much pressure on the other players.

[MannyIsGod]

They're about to come back from the dinner break and they are giog to stack 12 million in cash on the table. This is going to look nuts.

[darrenbatty]

whats the current stack for each player remaining

[MannyIsGod]

Butler moves AI first hand back. He has 3.2 mil in chips.

[MannyIsGod]

Paul Wasicka calls.

he has 88, Butler shows A10

[MannyIsGod]

Flop is KQ10

[MannyIsGod]

Turn is a K, River is a 3, Butler doubles up.

[2centsworth]

whats the current stack for each player remaining
http://www.cardplayer.com/

[MannyIsGod]

Jamie Gold is all in against Paul Wasiki with AK on a KQx board. 10 on the turn gives Paul 2 pair.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Cunningham is gonna take this down

[MannyIsGod]

Hugeeeeeeeeeeeee suckout. Paul Wasicki double sup, takes a hit out of Gold though Gold still has still has a huge stack.

Paul is also a pro, so there are 2 pros at the final table. I wasn't aware he was a professional.

[MannyIsGod]

Cunningham is gonna take this downI want Gold to get hammered. The dude is a dick. That bullshit about not wanting to win is just that, bullshit. He's steaming right now so I wonder if he'll spew some chips.

I think AC is by far the best player at the table right now, though Wasicki has been pretty damn good too.

[MannyIsGod]

AC raises to 1 mill, Butler moves AI over the top and takes down the pot.

[MannyIsGod]

Binger moves AI over the top of Wasicka's 1 million opening raise.

[MannyIsGod]

he has 6.3 Million, so it is 5.3 for Wasicka to call.

[MannyIsGod]

Paul folds, Binger takes down the pot.

[MannyIsGod]

Paul Wasicka AI with KQ v KK against Binger. Don't know how he made that call, but he's in a world of hurt. He hits a Queen on the flop.

[MannyIsGod]

Bingers KK holds up. As well as Wasicka has played, that was a HORRIBLE call.

[MannyIsGod]

Man, this final table hasn't been defined by good plays, it has been defined by stupid calls. Thats sad.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Man, this final table hasn't been defined by good plays, it has been defined by stupid calls. Thats sad.

It's amazing some of the players who make it to the final table.... I'm hoping fatigue is at cause, instead of the players being that bad.

[MannyIsGod]

How does Gold lose now? I guess if one of the other 3 can take out the other 2 short stacks, he has a good shot, but otherwise the best he can hope for is to be near 2:1 going heads up. Nasty.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Hopefully he has KK run into AA 3 times in a row

[MannyIsGod]

Nice pot by AC there.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Yea, real nice... I want to see what they both had when they show it on TV

[T Park]

is Lee out?

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Lee donked out early... also costed himself about 3 million dollars in the process

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit, now that was a world class play.

[MannyIsGod]

187. Allen Cunningham raises to $800,000 from under the gun, Jamie Gold calls from the small blind and Paul Wasicka calls from the big blind. They all check a flop of AheartJheart9heart and the turn is the Aclub. Gold checks and Wasicka bets $1,000,000. Cunningham raises to $3,975,000 and Gold mucks. Wasicka moves all in and Cunningham folds his hand. Wasicka shows KdiamondQdiamond for the bluff as he rakes the pot.

How you make that play without getting the shakes.... I don't know

[MannyIsGod]

I thought he had it. Insane bluff man.

[MannyIsGod]

Its a race!

AC with TT and Gold with KJ!!!

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I hate gold even more now

[MannyIsGod]

Gold hits a K on the flop, Game over for AC.

Bummer.

[MannyIsGod]

Gold can't fucking miss!

229. Gold limps from the button and Wasicka limps from the small blind. Michael Binger raises to $1,500,000 from the big blind. Both Gold and Wasicka call and the flop comes 10club6spade5spade. Wasicka checks, Binger bets $3,500,000 and Gold moves all in. Wasicka folds and Binger calls. Binger shows Aheart10heart and Gold turns over 4spade3club for an open ended straight draw. The turn is the 7club and Gold makes a straight. The river is the Qspade and Michael Binger is eliminated in 3rd place.

Wasicka said he folded 87 of spades. If he did, thats a realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly weak fold. He obviously was trying to play for 2nd, which was stupid. You make that call all the damn day. I can't imagine folding an open ended straight flush draw 3 handed with so much money in the pot.

[MannyIsGod]

Gold wins. Wasicki was the weakest player I've ever seen make it that deep at a ME FT. I am amazed at how horrible he played down the stretch and how weekly he played.


HORRIBLE.

[MannyIsGod]

Props to Gold, he played him like a fiddle.

[Taco]

:tu That was great for Lee finished 6th winning what 2.2 million :tu

[CubanMustGo]

Not a bad $10K investment.

[Kori Ellis]

Gold wins. Wasicki was the weakest player I've ever seen make it that deep at a ME FT. I am amazed at how horrible he played down the stretch and how weekly he played.


HORRIBLE.

Yeah it was crazy how weak he was. I didn't understand over and over how he would raise, then get re-raised (and not even a monster re-raise) and fold. If you aren't strong enough to handle a re-raise, then don't raise in the first place.


It's amazing some of the players who make it to the final table.... I'm hoping fatigue is at cause, instead of the players being that bad.

Yeah I want to see the earlier rounds to see if they ever played well in the tournament.

That was a weak weak final table. Nobody had balls at all.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Gold actually played good big stack poker, he did a great job of getting his money in good. Amazingly he knocked out 7 of the 8 players at the table.

[kris]

Wasabee was a 25 year old restaurant manager from Colorado. He was nervous and trying to get every last dollar by finishing second so he didn't want to challenge Gold.

In his shoes, I might do the same thing against Gold's stack.

When you have 15M and the leader has 50M, all you have to do is double up twice on him and you'd be dominating. Even heads up, he had 16M to Gold's 64M. Again, you only have to double up twice to be in the lead. He folded so many rivers that I thought he might be related to Tunafish Riverburgh :angel

I think it was a really weak fold, but I understand why he did it. But if Michael Binger's hand would of held up and beat Gold's draw, That play would have more than likely lost him 2 million dollars.

Kurt = Monday Morning Quarterback

[kris]

HAHA, I look up and see I'm the commish now. It wouldn't be bad except for I feel like Tony Scalley.

[MannyIsGod]

I think it defiently is monday morning quaterbacking and I know that when you're starting at that money it is harde rto pull the trigger, but I really think even with all of that in mind..

I'd never fold a 3 handed OESFD with so much dead money already in the pot. Fuck the 2 million, thats a shot at first place. He wins that and the chip lead is down to 3:2 going to heads up.

And yeah, like Kori said he should have been raising and then checking so many damn flops. I don't understand how that guy could pull off the best play of the final table with that bluff but fuck up almost everything else.

Those were his tournament places before last night, so he wasnt' knew to late stage poker.

I think those results actually show that he's not very good at late stage poker, just good at early stage poker.

I really wish A.C. would have won that coinflip vs. Gold, if he did, we would probably still be watching them play heads up. Also, I really want to know what poker gods Jamie Gold prays to, because the guy was on a ridiculous card rush.

There's no doubt about it, he played like a kitten on a tigers table. There's also no way I lay that hand down. I was just making excuses for the guy.

And I'm usually a money guy, but for the prestige of WSOP, I'd risk moving up the money latter (circumstances pending of course) for a shot at the crown.

And Gold did have a rediculous amount of hands. He played with what he got very well, but it's pretty easy to run the table when you're getting great cards.

[SequSpur]

I wouldn't have. When there were four players left, he had about 15 to Gold's 50.

When you have 15M and the leader has 50M, all you have to do is double up twice on him and you'd be dominating. Even heads up, he had 16M to Gold's 64M. Again, you only have to double up twice to be in the lead. He folded so many rivers that I thought he might be related to Tunafish Riverburgh :angel

Gold was controlling the action all night. Played all of those mofos like lil beyitches.

Bold enough to show a 2 3 off on a bluff. Balls right there....

Hey there's no shame in folding the best hand... or is there. :quagmire

[MannyIsGod]

One good thing was the coverage. Phil Gordon is one of my favorite players to listen to because he analyzes things really well. I cant' believe i watched that many hours of live poker with no hole cards, but it was really awesome.

[Mr Dio]

C'mon people, someone tell me if the R Lee that was on the news is the same guy.

Had heard & even read somewhere here that he used to make book.
