Missed ESPN last night, which ones did they cover?
 

I think it should by 5,000 NL and 2,500 stud but im not sure. Anyway, can someone give me a rundown of what happened?

As far as stud was concerned, Joe Awada made the final table in an attempt to defend his title. he was unsuccessful . The guy who won literally got a lesson before the tourney started and had never played before. He got lucky on the river about 9 times and beat Sexton. Not mike sexton, but another one. Sextons son made a final table a couple shows ago.
All i remember about the HE is that Seif won and it was his second bracelet in a week.

The guy who won stud was JohnnyBax, a top player on stars. He got a lesson from Fischman on stud before the tournament and promptly won it.

Bax won the $1500 Stud event, the event shown last night on ESPN was $5000 Stud, won by Jan Sorensen

It seems there is some confusion on the stud event, lol. No problem i remember that one reading the tourney breakdown on Cardplayer.com (a much improved site by the way, i digress though) But we are sure that Mark Seif won the NL event, good for him, i dont think he fared too well at last year's wsop.

sorry for the confusion on the stud winner. i was just pulling for awada to win.

Did he actually get lucky on the river, or did he get lucky on "the river" like when Sexton showed Awada the trip Ks he picked up on 4th street?

My other favorite moment was when Awada told Phan that he couldn't be so "innovative" since they were playing stud and not HE, and then proceeded to slowplay pocket As against Sorensen and lose to a rivered pair of As with a higher kicker.

He got lucky on the actual river multiple times. The TV coverage made it seem like he was chasing his draws a lot. How true that actually was, I don't know.

He was priced in and played correctly each of the hands i saw. Oh yah he's going to fold a 4 flush on 6th heads up with 20% of his stack in the pot, riiiiight. Norman chad is a [censored] joke. Yah norm, that was really 'chasing'.

It was the $1500 NL event #22.
