Hell no he wasn't. There WAS a broadway possible on the board (KJT I think), but there was definitely no sign of huge strength from anybody. He was facing a bet and a call, and that's it. It was pitiful. Pocket QQ ended up winning over a busted flush draw.

I felt bad for the guy. He looked really stupid.

He probably wanted to duplicate Frangos's QQ pre flop fold -- unfortunately Frangos' situation was much more cut and dry, and while this guy ried to look like a poker genius he ended up looking foolish ... for the time being at least

Yeah, that was funny. But, as was said, in his effort to make an amazing fold he dropped the ball big time, he coulda made a ton of chips on that had too. It was three way, and your right, no one had been to aggressive. Anyhoo, Phil made a dude fold too when he had the best hand, the guy who won it. Later though, that guy called Phil out on the hand that won the tourney. I must say though, in a time when I start to get bored of the poker on TV (I was actually trying to switch to that Adam Corolla show that looks awful), this was the best episode I have seen in a while. I saw a lot of good poker plus crazy beats and stuff. Yay for poker on tv.

PS. Phil Ivey is now my favorite poker player. I didnt have one before but the guy looks too goofy on TV not to like him. Plus, he has balls. But most importantly, you can tell he LOVES the game, and isn't that what we are here for?

Ivey is awesome. Totally intense.

I can't wait for Tivo to record this week's episode for me...

Default yep

Ivey was awsome but think when he got heads up he kinda just gave up.

laying down those set of tens was dumb, it was soooo suprising when he folded them.

Funny... I don't see my name on that list. Oh.... right..........

That's a solid list. But where's Chip Reese? How about Ted Forrest, who has been playing awesome poker lately? It's too hard to make a list. I gave up on that long ago...

Good idea for a new thread though (even though I'm sure it's been done).

Hellmuth sucks. What has he done lately? He won the heads up championship, that's it. Does Hellmuth know how to play any other game besides NLHE? He won nine bracelets (all nlhe btw) but when is the last time he won a bracelet? There are many players you could replace Hellmuth with on your list, a.k.a. Doyle, Todd Brunson, Alan Cunningham, Matusow etc...
