Default because hating is so much fun....

As I write this there are 14 left. I am confused if Jamie Gold sold his soul to get this lucky, or if he is straight up Beelzebub. Check out the evil bitch his mom is, quoting gutshot.com here- (and for those that don’t know, Einhorn is a non-sponsored player donating everything he wins to charity)
"Jamie rushed over to shake Einhorn's hand. Jamie has been on his best behavior today, though it appears as though he's forcing it. You can almost see him laughing inside everytime he goes to offer his sympathies to those players he knocks out. When Jamie walked over to his mother she was overheard laughing,''No more money for charity! Guess they're out of luck! Hahahaha!!!'' Melissa Hayden, friend of Allen Cunningham, also overheard the conversation and looked like she might throw up. Although Jamie has a large cheering section of friends and family, it seems as though every other person in there (including the camera guys) are hoping to witness his demise."

edit-gutshot is killing me. This ends a bit describing how on a flop of A54 Luke Chung moves allin. Gold calls with AJ and, of course, turns one of his three outs. Gutshot.com-"Somewhere over the last few days…in the early hours… Jamie Gold, respendant in white robes, sacrificed a small child on an alter…(Well that's Barron's explanation)"

sounds like a real piece of shit...

I was rooting for Einhorn, he was going to donate all his winnings to charity. He still has 600K to give to charity, not too bad.

of course 12 million would of been better and one helluva story but oh well.

From what I hear Jamie Gold is simply ANNIALATING the competition and catching cards HUGE. At double the chips of 2nd place, he's going to be a monster to knock down...

I believe so, yes. I don't see anything about it on ESPN's site, but I did just find this. Interesting read:


I didn't realize Chan was in Gold's corner... nor did I realize that the biggest chip in play is a $100k chip... man, that going to be a lot of chips when they get heads up...

yeah they added the 100K chip this year for the 1st time ever in WSOP history...

they said it looked like mint chocalate ice cream.

yes Jamie Gold has caught huge hands...

Set over set, him having the better set. hes also had 2 pr vs 2pr SEVERAL times and had the better two pair.

The combination of great cards and his oppenents hitting huge hands as well has lead to his huge chip stack.

Allen Cunningham is a beast. Easily the best player left, he'll take it down.

Check out yer man here in the featured photos section (not Todd Brunson, the other guy). Stop me if this has already been posted, but I just stumbled upon it moments ago:

Whoa............. how in the world am I in a FEATURED photo??? That pic is currently on EVERY bio page, etc... There's Cunningham, me, and Hellmuth - on every page. Yeah, that sounds about right.

This is a better link to the gallery, since it has nothing to do with Todd Brunson:

Turns out the Featured Photos are actually ALL OVER the site... you know, like on the Poker Headlines page:


(Not to mention every article, the blogs, the bios, etc, etc, etc)

Neat.

That's pretty kick-ass. The only thing I have to decide now is do I want to get one of the blue sweatshirts or red sweatshirts...

They are actually both pretty sweet looking, IMO. I also have a solid blue with red letters. It looks good, but it's heavier (maybe good for you folks up north), so I didn't wear it in Vegas. It was so cold in the Rio, I probably could have though.

Dan Nassif got knocked out in 9th, for a cool $1.5 and change, courtesy of Jamie Gold's flopped set of 2's against his AK...and Jaime is up to 30 mill again...

The guy is an absolute monster. I don't know how good he is - but he sure is lucky.

Gold just turned over 10 9 to take a pot down on a 992 board, the pot ended up being with Alan, who flipped a 9 when he mucked his hand. It was a 10 million-ish pot...seriously man, this guy couldn't ask for much more help than he is getting.
