Default Re: Has anyone mentioned that Fischman played great?

not to discount scott, but i didn't mention to you tonight talking about this that they pretty much selectively chose what to show. i know that's rather obvious, but scott REALLY wasn't involved in that many pots at this final table. he doubled someone up early and was just an average stack most of the time. from there he just grinded and made a few plays. you saw pretty much all of the relevant hands he was in.

liz lieu, on the other hand, got the shaft. they showed two pots and she got owned in each of them. she didn't play just insanely great, but she mixed it up a lot. there was one great call she made against allen with sixes on a board with three overs. allen checked the ace on the turn, and the river. he had made aces with something like a jack kicker and just checked it down after being called on the turn. she was pretty aggressive when she got chips, and played relatively well.

espn did a better job from what i could tell with these two episodes, but one hour is far from enough to summarize a six to seven hour (and sometimes more) final table at the WSOP. like i told you... just wait till they show your one hand and everyone has no idea the context of the play! they'll show you fold a few hands, maybe take down a small pot, then bam, you're all-in with king jack.
