You got to get lucky but HOW much luck?

You have to run like God in a donkament like that to be anywhere close to the final table. All the final table guys probably sucked out for their tourney lives a couple times over the course of the tourney.

The only reason why ESPN edits shows the big bluffs, big suck outs, and big hands is because live poker is so boring. If ESPN was to broadcast every single hand played, there would be no one watching.

How many 'mistakes' did they make and get lucky? I don't know. How many good decisions did they make, though? Answer that please. How many pots did they take uncontested? How many 3-bet shoves did they make at the right time to a button making a move? How many times did he trap an opponent or get them to stack with 2nd nuts? How many hands did you not see at all being played out?

You make it sound like they played bad the entire time but you only see maybe 1% of their hands they play. Of course you have to get lucky sometimes in order to get deep in MTTs. Its almost impossible to not, but you make it sound like thats all they did.

^^^ exactly...

I hope no one thinks the final table was played with perfect timing to fill the alloted TV time slot and still have room for comercials.

I used to work for a local outdoor show part time as a cinematographer/sound tech/grunt. To make a 1/2 hour show normaly took at least 8 hours of filming, sometimes much more. You'd be amazed at what we did in editing.....fooled everyone that watched:p

basically you need the same amount of suckouts to win the 2700 man freerolls on full tilt
