Tuan Lee - luckiest mofo in WPT history after Eric Brenes?

[Smoothcall]

How can you say you didn't purely sucked out? Of course you did. How he played before or after has nothing to do with whether you sucked out on this hand. You are a fairly big dog so this is a suckout no matter how you slice it.

im actually glad berman got sucked out on. thats some sort of retribution for him sucking out against Doyle in the 2004 WSOP.

I didn't see the TiVod episode until yesterday. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I never saw Le acting like a punk, or like it was his awesome poker skill that allowed him to hit his 3-outer vs Berman. He was pretty quiet the whole time.

Would he NOT be a punk if he had jumped around yelling "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" when his 4-1 favorite held up? What about if he scoffed at his opponent for the cards he played (which Hutter did) or did a backward dive onto the poker table when he won?

When it got three-way, he had in the neighborhood of 5 millions chips, to 950,000 for Brenes and Hutter each. When you have that kind of chip advantage you don't have to wait and peddle the nuts... heck, you might even be able to win with a suckout hand like 10-2. And with that chip lead, you'd BETTER be playing most pots.

Nobody at the final table got there without some skill, some good bluffs, some good calls, and some suckouts. If the producers chose to show more of his lucky breaks to fit him into a role, realize that's TV.

You are right, he was quite gracious, and I am sure he made some of his own luck.

Not many people would fold KK at a short table with money in the pot.

I finally got through the show and actually thought it was better played than a lot of the WPT episodes. At least the heads-up lasted more than two hands.

But what we all want to know is, where did the name Temperance come from? There's gotta be a story there.

It's a family name that has been passed down several generations. If you want a better story - I had a judge laugh out loud at me when he read my name in his courtroom. He thought it was ironic (and apparently funny) that someone named Temperance (look it up in the dictionary if you don't already know) was in front of him on a DUI charge. I am not proud of that moment, but it has been 16 years so I can look back and laugh as well.

Hey Temp, let me just say I enjoyed the way you played, even the long waits for you to call, fold, or raise, where it looked like you were really thinking about it. However, we all know you were actually dreaming about Shana Hiatt. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Best part of the show - the look on Nam Le's face when they show him in the audience after Tuan calls the all-in with 84s.

[Dynasty]

There will be a lot of unhappy Tuan Le haters when they hear the news.

You beat me to it ... some folks here are gonna need a little whine to go with that crow!
