Tuan Le is my favorite player in the universe after watching the Foxwoods tourney.

I didn't see the names of Negreanu, Brenes and Juanda. Did they get knocked out already? at least we will see some new people since those 3 seem to be in every wpt final table recently.

Ted Lawson is listed twice (#41 & #59). He must be "multitabling". [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

This is why I, in general, don't like playing tournaments.

Now, first off, before I get yelled at, let me say that I think Raymer and Grinder are both very good poker players and NL tourney players. However....

Russell Rosenblum raised preflop to $10,000 and Mizrachi called. The flop came down Jh-7h-2h, and Rosenblum bet out $8,000. Instantly, Mizrachi raises it to $18,000, but Rosenblum comes right back for $35,000. Mizrachi then moves all in, and is called quickley by Rosenblum. Rosenblum shows shows Qh-10h for a flush, and Mizrachi shows Ah-10c. The turn card brings the 4h,

Raymer had 9's to Mads Queens. The flop came J 10 8. Mads went all-in for about 270k and Greg caught his straight with a 7.

Now, that's just part of tournament poker. But here they are, the two guys getting the money in as big dogs now chip leaders (and it looks like the bulk of their stacks came from these hands), while the guys who got the money in very good are home.

What pisses me off the most is that now we will have to be subjected to 10 more articles portraying "The Grinder" as the best thing sliced bread.
