Does anyone know whats Gold's link to Johnny Chan? Chan is running a muck for him

jobless

he did some tv work with chan i believe....chan thought him to play better

delanec8

He helped Chan out with some book and tv stuff.

Ive watched almost all night and while he has won every showdown ive seen, he has played really really well.

jem

must have a piece of him

Fatboydim

Apparently he used to be james Gandolfini's agent - I'm beginning to like the luckbox more.

Ok no I don't... But he's going to win isn't he... So I better get to like him fast. At least if he is gay it's something to cheer about. As that should offend enough redneck Americans so that entry next year will be easier.

Ye I watched most of the night too, and thought he played well too, I'd say the TV programme will butcher alot of the good play though...

Chan is wearing Bodog gear. I thought that last year he signed a contract with Paradise. Strange.

Fatboydim

Wasicka's only got to double up twice to be even.

Yeah i don't imagine they will show the build up to richard lee's exit. Gold had been reraising a lot of Lee's bets and it seemed that he just got frustrated and took a stand. It was fascinating to see live but ESPN coverage you won't see how Gold set him up for that play.

Chucky the tree

Is the WSOP always held at Frat house?

Fatboydim

Damn you guys with Broadband who can actually watch... I have to rely on cardplayer lol

I actually thought that JJ push was terrible, there was just something about that Limp raise that I thought was his usual QQ, KK or AA move...

But BTW, WhyTF is Gold eating at the table?? Surely he realises this is the part that will be shown on telly for the next 3 years!!

not over yet.......
gold bet the river with q98xx......and binger was thinking of calling.......gold gave a bit of speach play saying the had the straight then flipped over a jack......binger foldid and gold showed his jack high bluff

delanec8

Oh yeah i think the JJ push was horrible but you could see that Gold had set him up by reraising him at least 5 times earlier and making him lay down his hand.

I think I just laughed and cried at the same time

And its all over!Gold wins with Q9 vs TT, Q high flop and no improvement for Wasicka.

tribulus

thats it, gold wins it, Q9 all in v 1010 on a Qhigh flop

jobless

one overcard and of course he flops it....

Fatboydim

Hey Dave... I just found my microphone

Bp!

For days people have been rooting for his demise, he himself said he did not want to win...and here we have Mr. Gold as the new Champion of Poker......is anyone celebrating?

keeffor

what sort of main event was that? he got the luckiest hands ever....

He pretended to throw a bundle of money into the crowd and then he did!!

carrigeen

lucky im not to sure

its some achievement to lead the field for four days even if the deck is hitting you in the face

that siad i didnt see the final table but my gut says he must be good despite what peole are posting about him
