There will be a new "World Champion"

corblimey

From the Tao:

Jamie Gold ended his reign as the world champion. He took a few hits early and slipped to under 10K by dinner break. He couldn't build a stack and busted out when his Qs-9s could not beat A-7. As what happened with Hellmuth, Gold was jeered when his elimination was announced shortly after the dinner break.

In so many ways, Gold can now relax and focus on playing poker instead of being a marked man. He'll always be known as a controversial world champion, but in a few years, we'll forget about Crispin Leyser and Jamie Gold will be a distant memory, or just one of the faces you see hung up on tapestries surrounding the Amazon Ballroom.

He'll return to sweat his mother Jane who advanced to Day 2.

Who's Crispin Leyser?

He was the guy who sued Gold about the deal they apparently had over the phone, for 50% of winnings.

A roar just went up in the far corner of the Amazon Room. What was it for? The best misread hand of the tournament.

Jack "Jeffrey" Ury, who at 94 years young is the oldest player in the tournament, has just more than doubled up.

In middle position, Jack called with two players limping before him. The big blind raised it up to 3,000 and only Jack made the call.

The flop was {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and both players checked.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and once again both players checked.

The river paired the board with the {10-Spades}, and the big blind fired out a 10,000 bet, enough to put Jack all in.

Jack was unable to see the board properly, so the dealer moved it over until it was right in front of him. He checked and rechecked both the board and his hole cards and then announced "I call, I got a straight!"

At this point he rolled over pocket sixes -- no straight, just two pair, but it was enough to win the pot. His opponent mucked and the gallery let out the loudest cheer we have yet heard.

lol

Yea, Ted is a great player, and often seems to run better than Jebus ..might.

I have a hankering for Carlos M too perhaps.

Mr.Plough

i think its a bit harsh that they get jeered when they're eliminated.

i don't think gold deserves it, maybe hellmuth does.

Jesus Wept

Yea, I agree, don't think either do.

I was watching highlights of the 2002 or 2003 main event im not sure in my hotel room in the Rio on ESPN and had to endure Mr Phil HELLMOUTH gabber on, moan,criticise and openly ridicule people at the table.

Now I aint taking away from the guy and his past record but oh dear god can the man not take a beat. Does he think he should win every hand. He whined moaned after a bad beat, he steamed after losing 1 pot, he cried to his ''honey'' wife when asking her ''can u believe that guy went all in with 77''... Helmuth called with AQ btw for his tournament life. mmmm suspect maybe??

I would love to one day be at a table with him just simply to wind him up. God that would make my day

Jesus Wept

yea I'd love to play againest him, it would be hilarious

You thought Gold's win last year was controversial, just wait until he wins it this year in his Psychcoesque Jane Gold outfit. JJProdigy ain't nothing on Gold, anyone can fake grandma online

What Are The Odds?
"Steve Seidman was all-in with pocket tens against pocket sevens. With his tournament life at stake, Seidman was devastated when a seven fell on the flop. But, should it have been there? The dealer accidentally dealt a four-card flop, and Seidman called the floor for a ruling on what to do about the flop. When the floor staff arrived, everyone at the table pointed out that it was quite obvious that the seven was part of the three-card flop, regardless of the dealer's mistake. However, it was ruled for the cards to be reshuffled and a new flop dealt, much to the dislike of the player holding pocket sevens. Against many odds, a seven was again dealt on the flop. But there's a catch yet again, as this flop contained two clubs. Seidman went on to catch running clubs to compliment his and survive his all-in Coincidence? Destiny? Or just pure odds? You do the math."


Stupid world series of poker.

I'd be more impressed with your work Paul if I didn't know what you did before dealing poker.

Still some good work though.
