Re: Doyle\'s out
Just woke up!
Gigabet seems unnaturally good at getting the money in with a dominated hand. |

Re: Doyle\'s out
Hand #170 - Patrik Antonius has the button, he moves all in, and Pedersen immediately calls with Ad-4d. Antonius is dominated As-Ks. Pedersen needs to improve to stay alive here, as Antonius has a few more chips.
The flop comes 7h-6s-5d, and Pedersen picks up an open-ended straight draw, and he suddenly has a lot of outs. The turn card is the 3s, and Pedersen hits his straight. But now Antonius has picked up a flush draw, and lots of people in the audience start chanting, "Spade! Spade! Spade! Spade!" The river card is the 10h, and Rehne Pedersen wins the hand with a seven-high straight to double up in chips. The new chip counts: Rehne Pedersen - $16,500,000 Patrik Antonius - $150,000 Hand #171 - Rehne Pedersen has the button, and Antonius is forced all in for the big blind. The players flip over their cards, and Antonius has Ks-7s against Pedersen's pocket eights (8c-8s). Antonius needs to improve to stay alive. The flop comes 9d-6c-3s, and Pedersen retains the lead. The turn card is the 3c, and Antonius needs to catch a king to survive. The river card is the Jc, and Patrik Antonius is eliminated in second place, earning $1,046,470. Rehne Pedersen wins the 2005 WPT Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic, winning $2,078,185, a gold-and-diamond bracelet, and a $25,500 entry into the season-ending WPT World Championship. |

Re: Doyle\'s out
Just for comparison's sake...
WSOP HU: 150k/300k A50k, you can chop. 56,000,000 in play. WPT HU: 300k/600k A50k, you can't chop. 16,500,000 in play. |

I don't think this is in Bloch's list of arguments regarding WPT boycotts, but it sure as hell should be. By the time it was 4 handed, it basically became a sit-and-go. I'm sure the players are grateful to the WPT for helping to increase the prize pools, but it's ludicrous that you should have to play pushbot poker when the difference in prize money between 6th and 1st is more than 1.8 million. |

Re: Doyle\'s out
Antonius deserved to win... his selective aggression was perfect, and he was making dead on reads. The only mistake was the move in with 85o and getting called, but even then he was still in contention. Also, he was in a dominating position to win with the AKs on the second last hand.
Bad beat. Antonius dominated this tournament. |

I would be pissed if I were the players. Yay for $1,000,000 coinflips. I'm wondering. Couldn't the last two players just demand that the blinds be rolled back? What is stopping them? Why don't they just say they won't play it out and will fold every hand without looking? Or how about they just leave the table? Could this really happen? |
