Was a crazy long HU match. AQ vs Q9 all in hand killed Staszko. Kinda crazy call to make with the flush draw/gutshot and funny that neither had a pair. Gotta wear you down playing for so long for such a huge amount of money though.

So long I got to take a 90 nap and when I woke there was little change in stacks.
The whole thing boils down to one quick decision Stasko made, (almost snap) calling with that flush draw (the AQ vs Q9s hand). Up to then he had played great, I got the feeling watching it that he had just got fed up with how long this was taking. It was a bit notable that just before that hand Heinz had sort of perked up. He had looked real draggy much of the time, like he was in the grips of the dreaded drag monkey or something.....
Loose passive is the way I would describe both players. Loose pre, nittish post flop, till the endurance factor played.
Benbaa's snap shove on the 4th hand still mystifies me, absolutely out of character. Up till then he had always left himself an escape.
I may, in the future, prefer the edited version.

I dunno... he missed almost every read. Missing play calls. I think he was off.
Now Norman... what can I say? Norman's the man.

GG Martin...
When I went to bed about 1AM local time around hand 110-115 of heads up play, Pius was down to about 20BB and looked really defeated... guess he caught a couple of hands.
From a publicity point of view - I'm glad Pius won. He will be so much more visible and accessible as an ambassador to the game. Not to ding Martin, but he had the television presence of a paper bag. The language barrier would have been a problem too.
Hell of a grind though...
I liked Antonio - he was right on about 60% of his reads - and acknowledged that he has never made a final table at the ME. The biggest problem all of the commentators had was that this was 7+ hours of live television. How many times could you plug the Rio, or show the rail singing songs without boring the holy crap out of people?

I agree I like Norman too. But i do think Antonio was good. His reads were not that bad off plus youre talking some huge hand ranges when it got down to 4 handed. I imagine most of us would agree that putting those guys on hands would be very difficult.
