I would have it no other way.

Hand #103 - Patrik Antonius has the button in seat 2, Brunson raises to $600,000, Antonius moves all in for about $5.5 million, and Brunson asks Tournament Director Jack McClelland how much time is left at the current level of blinds. The answer is 14 minutes, and the blinds increase by big jumps here on the World Poker Tour. Brunson weighs the factors, and decides to fold. Antonius takes the pot.

What range of hands would Doyle have here to make him factor in the blind change? Something like choosing to gamble with 22-55?

hey everyone, if you don't know who patrik antonious is, he's the guy that recently was playing 200/400 NL vs prahlad, and was doing VERY well.

some fun hands in there, and I think the biggest pot in online history was in there somewhere too....I think it was like a 200k pot.

Hand #119 - Patrik Antonius has the button in seat 2, he moves all in, and Pedersen calls all in (for $2,785,000) with pocket queens (Qh-Qd). Antonius shows 8s-5d, and he'll need to improve to eliminate Pedersen. The flop comes Jd-9s-2s, and Antonius will need something runner-runner to survive. The turn card is the Ks, and that gives Antonius a flush draw, and he can with with a spade on the river. But the last card is the 10d, and Rehne Pedersen doubles up to nearly $6 million in chips.

The old hoyt corkins strategy?

everyone has close to BB now. PUSHBOT ICM POKER, HERE WE COME

[jeffraider]

They could clearly use some work on their pushbot skills!

The WPT is really doing a disservice with these huge blinds. If any of us were still in it we would be about even money with these guys. This should not end like a SNG with $2 million on the line.

Like every WPT event since the second season, you mean?

Title: Doyle Brunson Eliminated in 3rd Place ($563,485)
Log:
Hand #146 - Doyle Brunson has the button in seat 6, he moves all in, and Pedersen immediately calls from the big blind with pocket kings (Kc-Ks). Brunson shows Kh-Js, and he is severely dominated here with his tournament life on the line.

The flop comes 10c-6s-3s, and Brunson will need something runner-runner to survive. The turn card is the Qh, and Brunson has picked up an open-ended straight draw, and he needs a nine or a king to stay alive. But the river card is the 8c, and Doyle Brunson is eliminated in third place, earning $563,485.

The next player eliminated will receive $1,046,470 for second place, while the winner will walk away with $2,078,185.

There will be a short break as they prepare for the money presentation, followed by heads-up play.
