WSOP Main Event

Aug 11, 2006 02:03

It's now 2am and I've been watching the live feed of the WSOP Main event for the last 12 hours. We purchased the online feed and hooked one of the computers up to a projector and are watching it against the wall. For our employees in Dublin we hooked up the conference line to stream the audio and stuck a webcam onto of the projector so they can ( Read more... )

Man I'm fockin pissed. Now PokerStars is going to buy out this Hollywood tool job (As per Pauly's blog, he has no class at all) and they're going to be acting like all of the last four ME champions where on PokerStars payroll years before they ever won. Hachem wasn't even a PokerStars qualifier and probably didn't even play on Stars, but they still use the "He learned playing on Stars so can your donkey ass" line.

I so wanted Cunningham to win, first off, because from what I hear, he's a really stand up guy, and second, just to stick it to PokerStars.

How are Pokerstars going to buy Gold when he was wearing a bodog.net logo the whole time? That's crazy.

And yea, Allen is really great... he really deserved to win.

I forgot he had the Bodog hat. But Hachem didn't become a PokerStars guy until after he won, but they act like it was the other way around. Sure Moneymaker and Raymer qualified through PokerStars, but so did more than 20% of the field this year. At least Full Tilt can say that an actual team member made it to the final table two years in a row, while a single Team PokerStars player hasn't made it to the final table since when.... I couldn't find on. Humberto Brenes finished 36 or something this year.

I guess I've always been the type who roots for the underdog.
