WSOP 2009 Main Event Final Table - Your Pick

#1 14th October 2009, 4:06 AM

It's getting close to WSOP Final table crunch time and I am extremely excited to see how this goes.

I really hope Phil Ivey wins, he sure deserves it - he is an excellent player and one of the greatest ambassadors for poker + awesome entertainment on Poker After Dark.

Who do you want to win and why?

#2 14th October 2009, 4:39 AM

Anyone but Jeff Schulman. He's such a hypocrite.

Phil Ivey is an obvious choice to take it down, I don't remember who else is on there though.

#3 14th October 2009, 4:59 AM

This guy named MOON was high-lighted on the front page of the Washington Post...seems very down to earth and a nice guy...I'll be routing for him!

#4 14th October 2009, 5:08 AM

Definitely want Ivey to win. I've always liked his attitude and the way he plays, and he has been my favorite player since I first got into poker.

#5 14th October 2009, 5:45 AM

Ivey v Happy heads up IMO.

#6 14th October 2009, 5:52 AM

Moon is a great player and a really nice average guy. Reminds me of Phillips from last year. Ivey is the other obvious choice but is short stacked and Mooon is playing solid big stack poker.

#7 14th October 2009, 5:59 AM

I want james 'sick dog' akenhead to win this. I want to see a brit win the WSOP ME. I think it'll b like bringing home the world cup trophy lol. But he's short stacked so he's got alot of work to do, but he's good enough to buckle up and go 4 the win!
If not james akenhead i'd have to put my money on Ivey bcos he's such a great poker player.

#8 14th October 2009, 5:59 AM

I would really like to see a pro win and Phil Ivey is one of my favorites.

TID Phil!

Ivey all the way! He is a good ambassador for poker (although he's a bit shy around the cameras), you don't see him tilting, he is a good role model, etc;

#10 14th October 2009, 6:56 AM

Phil Ivey!!!!!! Might as well write the check and have him fitted for the bracelet.

#11 14th October 2009, 7:01 AM

Ivey winning would do a ton for the poker community. It would show people that it takes skill as well as luck to be competitive.

This should bring much better arguements when relating to how poker should be considered more then just gambling.

#12 14th October 2009, 7:28 AM

I like moon because he's the dennis phillips of last year but im pullin for ivey becaue he def deserves it.

#13 14th October 2009, 7:32 AM

I have to pull for Darvin Moon. He won his seat at Wheeling Island Casino...its about an hour from me in pittsburgh.

#14 14th October 2009, 9:33 AM

I played with Jeff Schulman on Day 6, he is solid. Ivey is always awesome. I dont think Moon can do it. And my dark horse is James Akenhead

#15 14th October 2009, 7:40 PM

I hope Ivey wins as he is such a great player and one of my favorite players to watch.

#16 14th October 2009, 8:07 PM

Its Between James and Phil........ But anyone can win it as you all know

Really i would love to see James become the first Englishman to win the WSOP

#17 14th October 2009, 9:37 PM

I'm definitely hoping Ivey wins, but after that I want any of the better players to win. I don't get why people want to see bad players win just because they are nice people. Moon is already a millionare, i don't want a fish with the title.

#18 14th October 2009, 9:41 PM

I'd prefer Ivey to win as I'd make $140 off of it. But if not him, then probably Begs.

I don't know why people are comparing Darvin Moon to Dennis Phillips. Yes, they were both chip leaders going into the FT, but Phillips is way more likable and has more of a personality than Moon. Plus Phillips got the whole concept of being an ambassador for poker. Something Moon wants nothing to be apart of.

#19 14th October 2009, 10:44 PM

Phil Ivey for sure he's always been my favorite player to watch since I started playing.

#20 14th October 2009, 11:03 PM

ivey would be best for the game

jeff shulman would be the awesomest

#21 14th October 2009, 11:24 PM

Rooting for Ivey.

#22 14th October 2009, 11:41 PM

PHil Ivey... He's the most experienced and talented in the final table right now and he definitely deserves it..

#23 15th October 2009, 12:03 AM

jeff shulman, hes playing for the money, and says it

#24 15th October 2009, 12:06 AM

What time is this on at ? american time or if someone can tell me greenwich central time london,dublin,lisbon etc

#25 15th October 2009, 12:11 AM

I dunno.. I dont recognize any names in the final other than Ivey and I dont want to say Ivey b/c well I dont like the way he plays, or he just rubs me the wrong way.

#26 15th October 2009, 1:35 AM

Nick, I think if Ivey wins it will be the last piece of his puzzle he has been looking for for quite some time. It will solidify many observers claim that he could be argued to be the best ever. If he plays his usual best, he will be very tough to beat.

I can't wait to watch.

#27 15th October 2009, 1:38 AM

Ivey is who I will be rooting for as of right now, but as the episodes keep airing on TV I might find a character that captures my heart.

#28 15th October 2009, 1:49 AM

I guess I'll go with the US pro Phil Ivey, it will be about time a pro gets the title back.

he does have the chip lead but I'm sure he'll start playing to many hands or make crazy raises and lose it all.

Yea he says he will throw the bracelet in the garbage because the WSoP won't use his magazine or something childish like that I hope he slips in a coma for the 2 days the final table runs.

#30 15th October 2009, 5:26 AM

I would like to see Ivey also however something tells me Akenhead is going to pull this out.

Maybe this video will explain why the comparison.

Darvin Moon for me; I tend to root for the unknown and besides he's from Maryland!

#33 17th October 2009, 3:38 AM

My favorite is Phil Ivey. I really like his style. Is one of the best poker players and he deserves it

#34 17th October 2009, 5:16 PM
