WSOP - $50k H.O.R.S.E. Tourney

[Talking Poker]

I'm not sure - I have quite a few. I told you I liked my HORSE picks (Actually put some thought into them).

The only finished up last night's play maybe an hour ago. It seems Patrick folded on the river of the final hand, when Williamson had been eliminated. He has only $13k left, but he made the final table.

They are starting play again tonight at midnight ET. That has to be an advantage for guys like Ivey over guys like Doyle, but you never know, that man amazes me.

The Final Table:

that is one stacked final table, should be a sweet one.

Now the final table is NLHE right? That is so......

[Zybomb]

WHAT? It is???

[BlibbityBlabbity]

What I heard was that ESPN wanted it NLHE so it would televise better. Personally I thought the rock, paper, scissors coverage was pretty good....maybe they should have the final table be that instead .

IMO, if they play a game of overall poker skill and then get to the best of the best and switch the game it is just untrue to the spirit of the event.

I can't say for sure about the WSOP, but every other HORSE event (which isn't many) that I can remember did go to NLHE for the final table.

[Talking Poker]

Yeah, I'm with you.... totally disappointed in how they are finishing this off... you go from five different limit games to NLHE. Lame.

That's ridiculous. Did the players know this would happen ahead of time? Where in H.O.R.S.E. does NLHE come into play? Absolutely ridiculous. I hope the advisory board jumps all over this at the next meeting.
