Thoughts on WSOP Main Event Ep's 5&6 (*Spoilers)

I thought last night's episodes (5&6) of the main event were very entertaining. Memorable moments:

Raymer's first bluff of the night with Q2o and then seeing the rabbit cam confirming that he would have won the hand anyway.

"The Mouth" calling Raymer's all in with 97 spades holding only second pair, no kicker, no flush draw - Raymer's all-in bet was for an addt'l 241K with him holding AJ diamonds (2 overcards and nut flush draw on a board of 10h 9d 3d? I think)

**Matusow getting bounced losing AKo to AQo to a Q on the river. WOW! Is there crying in poker?**

Best Bluff of the night: Dan Harrington re-raising all-in preflop with just 108s. Just masterfully done the way he played his "image" against his opponents better starting hand -

M. Anderson's celebrations - was this his audition to be inducted into "The Crew" or did he really not know that they were in bad taste?

The fact that ESPN downplayed the situation leading into Doyle's last hand of the tourney. They made no mention to the fact that Berman did not hear Doyle call all-in and so he announced raise. The ruling then stated that he had to call Doyle's all-in bet with just A7o - he then caught an A on the flop to beat Doyle's pockets 10's. ESPN just showed it as a non-controversial hand. Unreal!

Any thoughts?
