I watched this two nights ago and it is absolutely fascinating

It is, as the name suggests a high stakes cash game shown as live from Vegas. Deep stacks and a mixture of rich amatuers and pros

In the edition I watched Doyle and to a lesser extent Johnny Chan and Freddy Deeb took the amateurs to the cleaners

One guy from Chicago passed AJ, correctly, to Doyle's all in on a A4x board when Doyle had A4

The next hand shown (I have no idea how it is edited and the time lapse between the two hands in reality) Chan raises UTG with AA and finds himself reraised by same player on the button with AJ, amatuers thinks he's been p[ushed around by Doyle and doesn't want to be seen to be an easy touch...so......all the money gets in pre flop...$320,000 and the Chicago guy is wiped out and gets up...

It is really instructive and eye opening to see craftsmen like Brunson, Chan, Deeb and Negraneau (though he was suffering bad outdraws) completely fillet these rich guys and the gap in class and ability is huge.

was that the one on Challenge. I saw Sammy Faha & Barry Greenstein get all their money in, with Barry holding pocket Aces & Sammy Kings. A King comes on the flop, & Sammy is nicely ahead for the night to the tune of $200,000 or so. I love the way Sammy plays, he's willing to gamble. What a character.

Its a great series, season 2 has been produced and will be aired in the next few months.

The table banter was great as well.
There are a couple of 47os involved as well Wink

You have to feel bad for the truly bad beats that get put on Barry Greenstein and Antonio Esfandiari though.

Hah! He trashed his hotel room and got banned from that chain of hotels because of that bad beat :p

But yeah, super smooth when it happened.

DN's Blog makes interesting reading when this was filmed.

They are playing props at the same time - at which Daniel remains way ahead of the game.

Crazy stuff - great viewing.
