Honestly, what do you have against Tuan Le? Comparing him to Danny Nyugen is a joke. Tuan is an aggressive player, that is just his style. His going all-in with the gutshot was not a bad play at all in my mind because:
1) He already had raised a third of his stack in position.
2) The flop comes 6-5-2... What are the chances that his opponent could have hit this flop after calling a 5x BB raise? If anything, Maxfield was out of line for calling with 65s Out of position against an extremely agressive player.
3) Tuan figures that his 8 or 9 are live if he is called, which seems very unlikely (being called, that is)

Quit hating, the guy is a badass at the table. May be reckless at times, but when you win two major buy-in tournament, one of them being the WPT Championship, you're doing something right.

And that move all-in with 5-8 was SICK. Tuan can't make that move unless he has a dead read on Maxfield since the pot was so big. Paul is probably caling with K-high, or A- high. That is just a sick read and guts right there.

I really hope you were joking about being able to beat Tuan Le, cuz he'd run you over like a 18-wheeler.

To his credit, Hasan calls Tuan's all in with 77 (Tuan has As8s).

but imagine laying that down on camera

By this point they were three handed and either one would have a good chip lead on Paul after the hand.

Did anyone else think it was strange that Tuan folded J4o in the SB 3 handed getting 5:1 on his money?

at the conclusion, Hasan and Tuan: "We did it, buddy!" "We did it, man!"

I know.

I mean, good lord--talk about an elaborate series of clues.

Ultimately, I still doubt there was any actual cheating.

He looked like a Warrior in that game.

After watching yesterday, I really didn't get the impression that any of the final 3 were trying very hard. It stunk of a deal having been made to split most of the prize money.

Overall the play was pretty poor for a WPT final table. Though weird things do happen when one player has a huge chip stack that he really doesn't want to use to double people up.
