WSOP Main Event Ep's 9&10

Beware Spoilers Below

First off I would like to thank ESPN for fucking with me by airing episode 9 both at 0800p est and 0900p est last night. I sit down at 0858p est and turn on my TV to see the tail end of an episode I had never seen before. My first thought was that I misread the paper on the starting time and now I had missed the first half of the finale. Not to mention, it would screw up my taping of the 10 part series. But then at 0900p est, the episode started again and all was good in the world. Someone had to have gotten in some major trouble by airing that episode too early.

I actually enjoyed episode 9 where the field was narrowed down from 18 to 9 much more than the final table episode 10. The final table felt very rushed and I wish ESPN would have made it 2 hours instead of one. Greg Raymer just had so many chips and really pushed his good starting hands. Josh Arieh continued to be portrayed as an ass. There was very little opportunity for Mattias Anderson to scream (thank God). Overall, the series was great but somehow the end left me wanting a better conclusion.

Monday night I played in the Super $150+12 NLH tourney on Party Poker.
I couldn't get any good starting hands and half way through hour two, I lost my last T500 with AJo to A3s when he flopped a 3. Finished a disappointing 459/886. Until next time I suppose...
