can some one tell me what happened on the final hand? I know he drew out with running 7's, but the rest of the hand?

I'm 20 minutes into it, but I liked his bet on the turn with 43. It looked like he hit his gutshot with QT. I think he should've bet a little more or check-raised, but whatever. I like when people do weird stuff at the tables. His check on the river sucked, though.

Default i\'ll say it Daniel N. is a great player

You dont DOMINATE like he did last year and not be great (card player of the year...11 final tables $4.5mil in winnings)

you may not like him, but come on.....It's like Hellmuth.....9 bracelets and more final tables at big events than anyone. Results speak. (even if he is an ass)

As much as its true that Danny Nguyen's play was subpar, you have to admit it was slightly refreshing to see an amateur act like a professional. He hits running 7's in the pot against Shandor Zoopacinagfski and not a word comes out of his mouth, like that's what he's been doing the whole tournament. Which is the show was any indication, it was.

Default Worst tourny ever

I took a Hiatus from watching these WPT's as my old cable didn't get travel. This is the first one I've watched in a year and a half. I'm not usually one to comment on people being retarded and getting crazy lucky, as most people have at least some skill to get to a final table, but seriously. Has there ever been a more disgusting display of poker at a big tourny final table in the history of poker? I honestly doubt it. I won't go into all the details of each hand, but it seems like every hand has been played 75-100% poorly by one player aor another. Folding KTd on the button, calling off your entire stack with A high, calling a 350K bet with a gutshot? Jesus. This is terrible.

Almost all you guys are a bunch of whiny nits. This was, by far, the most entertaining episode of the WPT ever.

Danny N: Hope for all PP fish everywhere.
