Tournament of Champions FT

So has anyone else recieved the TOC ft as a gift from their cousins yet?

Interesting table to say the least - Negreanu, Matusow, Ferguson, Andy Black, Gus Hansen and Mike Sexton. Painful to see yet another Andy Black blowup included as he pissed yet another huge chiplead down the drain and you get to see Mike Matusow who honestly looks out of his ****ing tree on coke chewing on his lip and being incoherent throughout. Andy done a good job on winding him up though.

Props to Sexton though who played great throughout and turned Negreanu into a whining spoilt child during heads up, his call against Matusow was one of the finest i have ever seen on tv, actually its worth contacting your cousins for alone.

(btw what is Andys website address or has he packed it in?)

My cousing is coming over with it at the moment.

Anyone see the HORSE final table? Impressive stuff, felt sorry for Andy.

In the HORSE: Great laydown of the QQ by Doyle to Chip's KK.

Careful, sprocket, I don't think you can do that here.

Was it really a blow-up? Was that the hand where he pushed with AK preflop and ran into KK, or something like that?

Don't post links to torrents please!
I think Nicky O'D had the link on his blog so people can find it there.

well i have to say i do think it was a blowup, or certainly a lack of concentration by Andy. The one person he didnt want to get involved with at that point was Negreanu (stacks were 800kish for Andy, 700kish for Daniel). After 2 limpers Daniel limped along, Andy put in a 5/6xbb raise (45k) and Daniel made it 200k. Andy instapushed all in which is more of the blow up im talking about, i dont think he actually considered what Negreanu was capable of doing at that moment and more importantly what his hand was beating. You could see the pain in Andys face when he was directly talking into the camera about the 'Andy Black blowup' right after it happened, he knew he ****ed it all up.

I remember Daniel saying in his video blog about an hour after that happening (he recorded the blog on his lunch break) that he was specifically looking to set Andy up and he done it beautifully but Andy could have gotten away from it with some thought before pushing in so quickly. He also misplayed a pair of Queens against Daniel just a few hands before the hand in question that evened out his chip lead over Negreanu which at one point was 1.2mil to 500k.

initially i thought this was a brilliant lay-down but when you think they have played against each other every week for 30+ years it puts the fold into context. Having read mrpillows blog on the recent ept i think his kk fold, first hand wipes the floor with doyles fold

sorry about that ,

anyone remember the name of Andys website btw? Or is it non existent?

would be interesting to hear his take on that final table and the hand in question
