Whats with all the crying in the previous episodes like that andy black guy. He was balling for quite a while. And then there is this incredible amount of hugging??? Whats up? Sheesh, thought this was on ESPN not Lifetime.

TP will give $50 to anybody that can guess who was making a jacking-off motion to the crowd when they were giving Raymer a standing ovation?

OK not really but did anybody see that bullshit? Not only did Sheikhan not stand up or clap when Raymer got busted, he sat back and made a jacking-off motion with his hand, mocking Raymer and the crowd. What a douchebag.

I haven't seen tonight's yet....

As for the emotions though, keep in mind, these guys had been playing for an entire week at this point. They've been through a lot together, and have gotten to know each other quite well. There is a LOT of respect around a poker table this deep, especially in this particular tourney.

I'm definitely not faulting Black. He seems like a genuinely great guy who cares about winning but cares just as much about all of his competitors.

But it sounds like Sheikhan was a jerk pretty much the whole time. I remember that from reading Cardplayer updates as it was happening too.

Saw the episodes.... Damn that Sheik guy was an ass. You need to be a pretty big dick to make the entire world root for Mike Matusow to take you out. Nice job, ass...
