Re: Tonight\'s Wpt event and Adam the magician
This was the most interesting hand of the entire show (55 vs. 88). I think both players played the hand very well.
Adam made a huge play to try to take a big pot with the worst hand. Most people would fold 88 to the aggressiveness he showed on the flop. It's a credit to Michael that he either had the read or the stones to throw that check-raise on the turn.
You don't see many hands where neither player has hit the flop get that much action, but both of these guys had the aggressiveness to go after it. It's hands like these that make poker fun.
Unfortunately, for Adam, he ran up against a marginally better hand (with that board) that was willing to match his aggressiveness. Kudos to Michael, nice hand.
