2007 WSOP Main Event...

I've only watched one hand and that was the replay where Watkinson is knocked out. This guys has Watkinson covered and he's acting like that??? I'm surprised Lee put up with that.

I have no problem with those that are very religious, but I think this guy is out of control! I somehow doubt God is concerned with whether or not this guy wins the ME. Maybe I'm wrong, but...

Earlier, his wife was saying that he's winning because the whole family was praying so much. Oh my.

I wonder why God hates the rest of the WSOP players so much.

I almost could see him acting like that if he was behind in the hand OR his tournament life was on the line. Neither of which was the case.

Go Tuan! Big double up there, i knew he was in big trouble when raymond moved in but i don't think his play was all that bad there with Jerry's wide range of hands he's raising on the button. Go Canada!

Not sure which thread to post this in -- so I'll put it here

The South African guy -- WHY???????

You played squeaky tight the entire final table, then after u reraise preflop with Kings and an Ace drops, and donkey bets YOU MOVE ALL IN AGAINST THE CALLING STATION?????????? Lets forget about the fact that Yang called with a 5 (yes 5) kicker and that he would have been pretty damaged if he lost, but HES A CALLING STATION. Why oh why after playing so so tight would you make a play like this.... NOW I see why you were raising 5-7x the big blind always, because you didn't want to see any flops because you don't know what to do. That pot single handly won Yang the tournament, giving him 4.5-1 in chips going into HU
