He's a goner.

After seeing a flop of 9-5-3, retired NFL superstar Shannon Sharpe pushed to all in. Ed Nowak called and showed Shannon what he feared most, pocket Aces. Sharpe showed A-Q. The turn was a 5 and the river was an 8, giving no help to Shannon Sharpe, who was eliminated from the 2005 WSOP Championship event.

sounds like he should stick to NFL commentary

Yes, the last thing we want is celeberties giving poker some good press that will bring more people into the game.


He did make through almost an entire day, which is still farther than a lot of people.

don't get me wrong, i'd love to get on a table with someone like Sharpe, who has zero tournament experience and had only recieved a couple pointers from mark seif

but, uh, i highly doubt he's gonna read my post

so where's the harm? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

and yeah, if he was real short and AA trapped him, obviously there was nothing else he could do on that last hand but move in. but we don't have those kind of details, so i'm just working with what i have

You're assuming the worst, whereas you would probably give a bigger name the benefit of the doubt. Just because he's never played an event before and doesn't post on this board.. you can't really assume he has no idea what he's doing.

Yes,
He's as big as a mountain.

I watched him play a bit and he was actually pretty decent. He played fairly unpredictably (but for the most part, not stupidly), which kept his opponents on their toes.

And, of course, he talked a lot, which looked to make for a fun table.
