That was last year, Sammy Farah had A 10 and the other guy ( Kate Hudson`s Brother ) had pocket Tens, and the flop came 10 A A Hudson bet, Sammy raised, Hudson goes allin, Sammy calls, Hudson is out of it in less than a minute, That was the very first hand of Last Years 2005 Main Event,,, wow $10,000 gone in less than a minute,, i remember it well>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> buck:hello:starfall said:Someone else had pocket Tens in their first hand of the main event, the flop came TAA, giving them a full house, only to bust out because their opponent had AT, giving them a better full house... it's the kind of situation where you're going to lose a lot of chips, but it's got to hurt to lose all your chips in your first hand to a monster v monster hand like that...
Not sure if this happened again this year, but last year this was the very first hand that Oliver Hudson(son of Goldie Hawn) went out to against pro Sam Farha. Both checked the flop, Hudson bet the turn, Farha raised then Hudson pushed all in. Farha called instantly.starfall said:Someone else had pocket Tens in their first hand of the main event, the flop came TAA, giving them a full house, only to bust out because their opponent had AT, giving them a better full house... it's the kind of situation where you're going to lose a lot of chips, but it's got to hurt to lose all your chips in your first hand to a monster v monster hand like that...

Now thats a mistake he'll never forget.

There are alot of newer players to holdem and especially more that have never played in a B&M cardroom.
I bet he doesnt know half the rules that the tournament holds
Does this mean that I'm not worthy enough to play in one of these big tournaments?
That and it's a series of tubes...that get clogged with massive amounts of material...massive amounts of material.wsorbust said:Sometimes the internet is tough like that because Al Gore invented it.
Great minds read alike! Thats where I got my info from as well! Cracking magazine.starfall said:The rules are fairly clear, and while it's got to be heart-breaking if you manage to make that mistake, you've only yourself to blame... wonder whether the guy then proceeded to lose more money by tilting in side games? You could easily imagine that happening - you've just made a stupid mistake that cost you $10K, and you play a side game to take your mind off it, but you're steaming so you're not playing your best...
And yeah, it was last year's main even I was thinking of... just one of those Main Event crushing blows... PokerPlayer magazine has a rundown on their top 10 hands from the 2005 main event, and they ranked that Sam Farha vs Oliver Hudson hand 2nd...
I'm with wsorbust on this one, if you're playing an event with a buy-in of $10,000 and a possible payout of $10million you're gonna scrutinise those rules with a fine tooth comb(?), all the way down to what the dress code is(if any!)wsorbust said:I'm sorry, but if you're going to make a mistake such as putting your chips in your pockets when changing tables, you didn't deserve to play in the tournament to begin with.
