WSOP ME - Almost down to the final table

#1 14th July 2008, 11:33 PM

They are playing down to the final table today ... and I'm seeing some crazy wild swings and eliminations in stacks. Down to 2 tables. Seriously, I am only rooting for Tiffany Michelle to make the final table. I've gotta think that if she does make the final table the endorsement deals alone for her would be worth millions. Plus it'd be cool to have a cute female instead of crusty weird players at the final table for a change.

#2 14th July 2008, 11:48 PM

I'm rooting for her too. She's one of the shorter stacks but fingers crossed for a comeback.... Even without making the final table I think she'll be quite well set for endorsement deals and other appearances.

#3 15th July 2008, 12:34 AM

I disagree. She has to make that final table. Four months of prep work, and 4 months time of marketing to say "I'm one of a kind at the final table...blah blah" for any company willing to pay.

#4 15th July 2008, 12:52 AM

I just put together today that shes one of the pokernews.com girls. I'd like to see her make it.

Maybe... but she's already a known player even if she isn't one of the big names, and from her attire it looks like she's already got something going with Ultimate Bet. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Gone in 17th

Is it wrong that I've lost all interest in the outcome now?

Nope... all the remaining players are just generic poker dudes. Bummer.

Not all...Klodnicki finished 2nd to Barry Greenstein in this year's Razz tourney. And David "Chino" Rheem is kind of known. But since they haven't been on tv before, I guess they count as generic to the average jane/joe.

i want to see hamrick take it down

#14 15th July 2008, 5:31 AM

I have no favorites now. Why can the cute one win ... or at least make the final table. Read that Barbara Enright (who I've actually played poker with twice) was the last woman at the final table. Would a CCer represent and change that!

#15 15th July 2008, 5:42 AM

K... I honestly don't care what happens in the main event. The hot one is gone

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo....

I'm doing some kind of super living because I can't sleep and am refreshing the link like every two minutes.

#17 15th July 2008, 6:33 AM

I lost most of my interest as soon as Matusow was eliminated. Then when Michelle was eliminated, I couldn't care less.

#18 15th July 2008, 6:59 AM

I'm much the same - it's yet another argument for the final table delay, I guess, as you really need the back story in order to take more than a passing interest in the players.

Wicked Chops have been describing a few of the final tables from earlier events as "friends and family" affairs (as in, only friends and family are going to be especially interested in the outcome) and without the ESPN back story that's exactly what the Main Event final table is shaping up as.

Can't complain though, it's been a pretty good series to date. Shame so little of it is going to be televised.

#19 15th July 2008, 9:36 AM

think this final table delay is going to back fire now that there are a bunch of randoms at the final table because everybody will have lost interest!!

but no BIG names like Hansen, Negraneu, Ivey, Hellmuth, Matsouw, Ferguson, Brunson, Greenstein, Chan, Hatchem.

You know the usual suspects.

Is there any online qualifiers left in ?

#22 15th July 2008, 11:59 AM

duno about the qulifyers, but these players are all good poker players who dont have the fame that the ones you mentione dhave because this is their first big score much like whoever had to have a big score to become famous.

THey were all sponsered by pokerstars or Full tilt before the ME started so gota give them some dues there.

Gona be an awsome final table IMO + im liking the build up thing.

It wont be "who won the ME" like it has been previously but "who is going to win the ME"

Yeh i agree about the build up thing i personally like the idea but i dont think others will stay tuned because of the lack of Big Scores!
Apparently Dennis Phillips i think it is anyway one of the big stacks qualified through a freeroll in St Louis??
I want Peter Easgate to win because he is young lol !!
How about yourself ?

#24 15th July 2008, 12:14 PM

yea i watched a vid on pokenews.com about Phillips, he qualified through a $200 tourney in St Louis Harrahs but got like $11k so was basically freerolling the ME for now garenteed 900k and most likely over 1 or 2 million easily.

Pretty sweet freeroll IMO

#25 15th July 2008, 12:19 PM

Yeh haha thats class!! he should definately finish in the Top 5 because Kelly Kim is basically ****ed unless he gets some good hands!!

I wouldnt mind playing in a freeroll like that lol

You sure they were all sponsored before the start of the Main Event? I'd be really, really surprised if that was the case.
