US Poker Championship - Any Detailed Account Out There?

I did not have the chance to watch the finals last Friday but heard that:

Phil Helmuth got knocked off on a bad beat by Toto Leonidas when Helmuth had a ?Q, Toto had A7, flop was XQ7, Phil bet and Toto went all in. Phil called, turn was a blank and 7 came on the river.

Toto won with his QT against Eric Seidel's AJ when a T was part of the board.

These info are vague and I'd like to know if someone can supply the accurate details.

Thanks.

Rod,

That sounds about right /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I heard about it at the Borgata Friday night.

Toto put two bad beats on those players to win.

Sometimes you need a little luck

~mg~

I also heard that Phil was pretty civilized about it - no McEnroe-type of tantrums that some of the railbirds were waiting for.

even when expert Tourny players like Helmuth win tournys it always seems like there was a bad call that they made that they got lucky that vaults them to the win. Moneymaker had at least 2 of those. Calling all in with pocket 8's and the guy had AA 8 hits the turn....just seems like it has to happen to win
