Ah, if everything in life was "fair". Like something that happened to me at a final table today. A 2%-er hit on the river for 80% of my stack and dropped me from first to fourth. There is nothing "fair" about poker except that the odds are consistent.
Look at antoine saout. He came summit like 3rd in the wsop ME and won summit like $3.5 million. He hasnt been playin for long and he got uber lucky to hit something that big. Heck Phil Ivey hasnt hit the final table of the WSOP ME untill 2009 and he's one of the best!
Yeah he is no novice. That's a serious player he bought into a satellite for $530 that's most peoples bankrolls. You best believe he don't play micros. I hope he wins since he is a cash game player in all.
