Re: Harrington vs. Minh Ly II
If the Cardplayer accounts are accurate, it looks like Harrington kept getting his money in with the best of it time and time again and just got really unlucky. For example this hand:
[ QUOTE ] Date / Time: 2005-10-22 01:23:00 Title: Minh Ly Doubles Through Dan Harrington Log: Hand 134 - Minh Ly has the button, he raises, and Harrington folds. Hand 135 - Dan Harrington has the button, he raises to $600,000, and Ly moves all in for $1,595,000. Harrington calls with As-9d, and he dominates Ly's 10h-9s. Ly needs to improve here to stay alive. The flop comes Qc-10c-6d, and Ly takes the lead with a pair of tens. Now Harrington needs to catch up if he wants to win the tournament on this hand. He needs an ace or something runner-runner to win. The turn card is the 7c, and Harrington needs an ace to win or an eight to chop. The river card pairs the board with the 7d, and Minh Ly doubles up in chips. Minh Ly now has about $3.2 million, while Harrington still leads with about $5.2 million. [/ QUOTE ] |

Seidel got revenge on Chan I believe back in 2000 or 2001 in a WSOP $3000 buy-in no limit hold'em event. Too bad it wasn't televised. It was very exciting and intense, with the chip shifting back and forth and a lot of supporters for both sides in the room. Pre-Moneymaker/WPT/internet poker boom, unfortunately.
