It should be an interesting final table for TV

[betgo]

With Brunson, the unabomber, Gigabet, and a woman among the leaders.

yeah no doubt..looks to be real exciting, especially if Laak and Doyle make it to the final 6. also joe cassidy

[eurythmech]

Could be a Swede in there!
But I really do hope we won't have to see Laak.

Brunson will win it. Which one is IKU?

[sublyme]

What made Doyle change his mind to play AQ nowadays? I've seen him play it a lot lately, but it used to be a hand he would never play.

Alright! Gigabet has made the WPT final table!

Title: WPT Final Table Tomorrow at 7:00 pm PST
Log: The WPT Final Table will be held in Bellagio's Fontana Lounge on Friday at 7:00 pm. Return to CardPlayer.com for live hand-by-hand coverage of all the action. Here are the six players, along with their chip counts and seating positions:


1. Joanne "J.J." Liu - $3,630,000 (seat 4)
2. Darrell "Gigabet" Dicken - $3,510,000 (seat 1)
3. Rehne Pedersen - $3,225,000 (seat 3)
4. Phil "Unabomber" Laak - $2,505,000 (seat 5)
5. Doyle Brunson - $2,025,000 (seat 6)
6. Patrik Antonius - $1,755,000 (seat 2)

First of all, if it's suited he'll play it as he would any suited ace. Secondly, if it figures to be the best hand I'm sure he'll play, especially in a tournament. Maybe he won't play it so much in a ring game.

Go Gigabet!

[UMTerp]

I'd think Giga would have to like his seat here too, with position on Laak and Brunson.

Does anyone know anything about Pedersen? Never heard of him before this week.

is gigabet the guy who posted all his theories on the site a few months ago?

[TheMainEvent]

I'm hoping that Giga makes some really outlandish play and Sexton spends the rest of the broadcast talking about how much he hates it.

He's Carlos_DK on stars. Seen him on the 100r from time to time.

Antonius really should get some credit eventho most people knows him as internet player. Early this year he was 12th and 15th in two WPT events, cashed three times WSOP (don't know how many events he played, not many I think). Then he came 3rd in EPT Barcelona for $145,068 and while ago won EPT Baden for $343,366.

I give him more credit for beating mahatma hu 200/400 NL than any of those cashes

AQ is a lot stronger in a tournament than in a cash game with deep money.

[TheMainEvent]

WPT knows people are tired of broadcasts with 6 amateurs. If they have pros, even internet pros at the final table why would they downplay it? I think Giga and IKU should get recognition.

Someone should smack some sense into Laak. His playing to the cameras is funny in small doses, but quickly gets tiresome.

I agree, but that's not what they've done in the past

You're all forgetting that the WPT really isn't poker, so anything the commentators say can be entirely ignored.

Some people, pro’s even, won’t play no limit. They can’t handle the swings. But there are others, like Doyle Brunson, who consider no limit the only pure game left.

If you're referring to the huge blinds a lot of the WPT events have at the final table, this one should be a little different - the players have anywhere from 30 to 60 BBs, depending on their stack, and there are no real short stacks at the table. Should be a decent amount of play (relatively speaking) for a WPT Final table, at least initially. I'm not sure who this really benefits though, and all six competitors appear to be very good tourney players, at least from my limited knowledge about them.

[Ulysses]

Zee,

No limit Texas Hold Em is the Cadillac of poker. Doyle Brunson says the key to no limit is to put a player to a decision for all his chips.

I think it should make great TV. You have the drama of Brunson playing the two young Internet stars. You have Laak in his unabomber costume. You have a woman and two Europeans. Plus they are all real strong players.

Those six in a structure allowing for postflop play would've been great TV.
