Default Re: Most talented player at WSOP final table

I admit Black's speechplay when he had the set against Kanter was a big mistake, but most people don't realise that his speech play had paid big big dividends earlier in the tournament. Do you remember the 'pass the sugar' hand against Joe Hachem, where Hachem doubles up through Black? Directly after that Black raised on the button with AJ, and Dannenman dwelled for a long time before calling from the bb. The flop came J83 or something similar (Jack high anyway), and Dannenman went to bet but then decided better and checked. Immediately Black went all in and Dannenman went in to the tank. He was about to fold when Black stood up, said 'I'm going for a cigarette, when I come back tell me if I'm still in the tournament', and after this Dannenman called. Great speech play. Black had put him on tens after the big dwell up, and somehow managed to make him call. It was like watching a snake charmer at work.
