Best ME in years??

[Alexthegreat]

What do you guys think of this years event so far....Down to the final 27, with four "name" players in the top 10 including the defending champion....How does this years event stack up to previous MEs??

I've followed for 3 or 4 years and I don't remember being this intrigued this late in the tourney...

I am glued to Cardplayer. It's a little unhealthy.

i am also glued, i did not really get into poker until november 2004..so yeah..blah blah, i sit here all day refreshing the CP page and the 2+2 discussion thread...i need help

I only really paid attention to the ME 2003-2005, this is by far the most interesting tournament.

I am also glued to cardplayer and I can't believe that Greg Raymer, Phil Ivey, and Mike Matusow are all in the top 5-6 chip stacks heading into the final 27...

Interesting but we have yet to see how it will come out on tv. The 2004 ME on espn was half as good as the 2003 ME on espn in terms of entertainment value. If it wasn't for Marcel Luske the 2004 ME on tv would have been very bad. The 2003 ME had helmuth vs grizzle, farha, moneymaker and overall more interesting players.

Vahedi comes to mind, and his bluffs.

MM bluff is possibly the best TV poker moment ever.

Man, but wouldn't you love to see Raymer, Ivey, and Matusow at the final table together? That'd be great TV, and very good poker.

$1 says ESPN skips over the absurdity...

They'll mention she "took her time to think out the hand" (aka stall like a rag), and skip over her multiple suckouts with the worst hand, only to focus on her play tomorrow and Friday.

HTS, because we've only had wall-to-wall coverage like this for a couple years, but considering the record huge field & the extraordinary performances so far by the defending champ, the "top seed"(Ivey), and one of the two main "love 'em or hate 'em" guys in the poker world(Mouth), its been great.

Dunno if we'll get something like Moneymaker bluffing Farha this year, and its a shame TiffWill is such a sundial, but a Greg-Ivey-Mouth final would be unreal.

[Howard Treesong]

TiffWill? No, sir. Please: it must and always will be H-DOG.

Actually, I coined "The Sundial" last night and that's where I'm stayin'. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
