Did anyone see the WPT event on the Travel Channel Saturday afternoon? I can't remember the guys name but there was a dentist who ended up taking second. The amazing thing was that for the entire final table until the last hand he never had to show his cards, he pushed in a lot and everyone kept folding to him, he lost when the player who went on to win started the heads up match with like an 8 to 1 chip lead. The final hand of the day was the only one he showed at the final table.

I remember the one where the guy doubled up like 5 times he was last made it to heads up. He had a straight on river and other guy also had a straight but the sucker straight and he called with it

Paul Phillips had the sucker straight Mel Juda had the manly straight

. I didn't like it when Paul said, "wow, I got a straight." But REALLY liked how little Mel reacted to it and looked concerned/serious

.

Yeah I really really liked that episode. Seen it several times. I like the bluff Paul did on the Unibomber, but really how could the unibomber call with his hand? just impossible. Haven't seen that episode in a long time tho... Didn't Mel pull off a nice bluff and show 'with gusto'? I liked that

.

Cheers,

That episode was on last Wednesday and last night I think at 6 PM. that was a easy fold by Paul Phillips since he didnt put much into the pot and was risking his whole tourney in a situation where he was prolly either splitting the pot or losing.

Paul learned alot from that tho and ended up winning a WPT event later on.
