US poker championship
anyone catch this on ESPN 2 tonight? This guy Lance Funston stops the tournament and calls the director over to ask him this...
"does a flush beat 3 of a kind?" director tells him yes i believe it does, Funston quickly calls with a flopped flush, his opponet flips 3 of a kind, lol. Hes either really smart or really dumb. These are the people that play 10k buy-in tourneys. |

You can potentially believe questions like this in a celebrity game (when you've generally got people who are being paid just to turn up, rather than paying to play in the tournament), but in a normal tournament you'd tend to expect this as just being a way to indicate that they have a good read on their opponent.

Notice that he kept hitting these amazing gutshot straights? But also notice they showed his stats where he played 28/34 hands, won 16 of them but had a net loss of $5500. Meanwhile his friend Brian Haveson played 11/34 hands, won 4 and made $10000. |

hes Brien Haverson's protege'..........I guess, if you can call him that. but I think some of it is an act. I mean c'mon, you dont just say hay, I just started playing poker....let me buy into a $10,000 event with some the best players in the world. Unless he's just some rich guy that thinks hey I'm pretty good because I got lucky a bunch of times.

He is entertaining though. The interaction with Fischman was priceless (especially when he bluffed him off the full house) |

If you missed it. . . Funston is a Harvard graduate. . . So he's not "really dumb"...I think this guy knew exactly what he was doing before he entered...
This is from Last year's U.S. Open right? I thought they played this in October.. .Or is this the Newest one? Last edited by wsorbust : 19-06-2006 at 6:00 PM. |
