WSOP 2008 TV coverage...

[MC]

Have been enjoying this on ESPN classic in recent weeks, it's all on pokertube as far as I know as well.

Was cool to see Mickey Wernick on a featured table in the main event, a shame to see him bust to a straight flush though!!

The reason I posted this was did anyone else see Jerry Yang bust? He was down to like 5k in chips or something at 500/1000 after making a not-great call to lose most of his chips, and manages to get it all-in with AJ against a standard call from A9 in this spot.

The nine hits.

He exclaims "that's unbelievable" and looks away in disgust.

Did that annoy anyone else? lol...

Cos, no Jerry, luckboxing your way through 6,500 people and winning $8 million. That's unbelievable.

It just annoyed me cos I don't see how he can complain about a standard beat like that after he must have put hundreds of them on other ppl to win the previous year. He had to be the worst player to win Main Event since Varkoni for sure.

Anywayz, rant over

yeah total pisstake thing to say

Raymer, Moneymaker, Yang and Hachem have all really really displayed some really annoying bellyaching lately, really moaning to a Hellmuth standard when they run bad and generally been quite childish when they lose.

Barry Greenstein was talking about it on Pokerroad and he basically said that all they have known in poker is running like god, because they were all recreational players who got mega lucky (Obviously skillful too, but no doubt ran amazingly well) and now they are experiencing the downside of variance and they cant handle it. Good point and great christian name.

The only one who takes his beats like a man is Jamie Gold, I think he is the only one who truly appreciates just how well he ran. Hachem is the worse, he has been a real dick of late.

yeah, at least Jamie has been a consistent dick!

Did anyone watch the live coverage of the EPT high roller's event? Hachem did some commentary on that. He came across as an absolute twat, and kept telling us why he, and the other players in this high rollers tournament were the best in the world, and much better than everyone else.
