Phil Gordon "When a guy thinks he is invincible you are not going to get him to fold"

 

[aliengenius]

Gordon has noted: Yang thinks he is ordained by God (he said "You have a purpose for me Father") so will be calling with super marginal hands, thinking he is invincible-- any attempts to bluff this guy deserve to go broke.

 

[aliengenius]

At this rate, it won't take no 14 hours.

AG, who is doing the TV announcements?

Phil Gordon and Ali Nejad (of Poker After Dark). Johnny Chan sat in for about an hour, and other guest commentators will be coming later.

The stupid "live update" still hasn't even reported this.
Apparently Yang is donating some of his winnings to charity, so if he wins it, at least some worldly good will come of it.

yeah, but Watkinson's charity is (was) chimp rescue!

 

[aliengenius]

I would hope "the lord" has better things to do.

Maybe he's responsible for the 2 card outs people hit online???


That is a shocking call with A9o.

Yang is clueless but if he thinks he's destined to win it then he's not laying anything down.

btw that early hand with Hilm I reckon JJ for Yang.

See Schoonmaker's review of this fundamental misunderstanding of poker (praying), review in "General".

I agree, it was an overpair to the board that was smaller than QQ.

 

[aliengenius]

Childs w KJo calls yangs rr (J8s), Yang hits the 8 on the turn, but Childs picks up the club draw-- and.... no club, Yang eliminates another player. Yang continues his god/destiny rant.

Go Russian pro guy who already has a bracelet.

 

[Irexes]

Unreal J8s for Yang reraise to put Lee Childs all in Childs calls with KJ

8 on the turn does it for Yang.


It's the asking for miracles that's most annoying.

"Please give him some medication" -- Phil Gordon re Rain Kahn's behavior

 

[aliengenius]

Short stack Alex moves all in, Rain, over the top to isolate--
Alex KJs
Khan 33

jack on the flop WOOOOOT
turn and river no help to the spaz-- the pro doubles up!

 

[vanquish]

YEAH ALEX!

 

[Irexes]

Hellmuth is about to join the commentary.

The have an over/under bet on 45 seconds before he mentions the 11 bracelets. Gordon has the under.

I'll take the over-- ouch.

 

[Irexes]

31 seconds. Gordon takes the money.

 

[skoldpadda]

On the plus side, if Yang wins, maybe all the religious right will marshall support to legalize internet gambling in the U.S.

I would love to see Yang get 1 or 2 outed for a huge pot and then tilt out of the tourney.

 

[aliengenius]

AQ for Khan, JJ of Yang-- all in:

K24 flop, 3 turn, 3 river.

Khan is gone.

 

[Irexes]

Yang raises to 1.5m Khan reraises to 6m (leaving 3m in his stack)

Yang calls after long pause

Khan all in in the dark (wtf?)

Flop

K24

Yang calls

AQ for Khan JJ for Yang

3 turn 3 river



We could beat these guys.

The average FRW could beat these guys.

 

[Irexes]

This as depressing for you as it is for me Alien?

 

[aliengenius]

Donk city for sure. It's unreal. wft is right w the all in in the dark-- he kills the whole idea of the stop and go that he set up by leaving chips in his stack.

 

[skoldpadda]

Hmmm.... Watch Online tv sports news and entertainment for free at channelsurfing apparently has the wsop FT on for free. I'm watching it right now. I think it must be delayed from the live webcast though... Phil Hellmuth is talking about his driving accident.

 

[Emperor IX]

I'll take the over-- ouch.

Now that's -EV if I've ever seen it

EDIT: Haha, wow. Just saw the results.

Guess I wasted $20 bucks.

 

[tenbob]

lol At Chan being high as a kite.

 

[Irexes]

He is totally wired :joyman:

 

[skoldpadda]

Oddly enough, I was just watching Gus Hansen and Brian Townsend play PLO on FTP and someone mentioned the link/website in the chat box. Usually I have observer chat turned off -- how serendipitous.

 

[aliengenius]

Alex moves all in w AT, Yank calls with the donk nuts (JT)...

583.. 8.. 2

the pro 2xs again!

 

[skoldpadda]

Still over 3x as many chips as 2nd... hope he continues to donk it off.
