You don't have to like Scott, but you have to respect him as a player.

Scott is one hell of a player. We have mutual friends, so I know him a little bit.

I admit, last year, I thought maybe he was going to be a one year wonder - maybe his performance was some sort of a fluke... but this kid is for real.

I hope he takes it down today and gets his third bracelet.

I actually like Scott and Dutch and Gank especially, people forget they are young and will say some things that come along with youth. We all did things like that when we were younger. I know the "Crew" is now spread out a bit and they could use just a bit more respect for the older players, but not a bad bunch of guys.

Dont forget about Allen Cunningham... he is only 25 or 26 and is one of the best players around.

Current Chip Counts:

1. Allen Cunningham - $1,500,000 (seat 4)
2. Scott Fischman - $790,000 (seat 2)
3. Liz Lieu - $519,000 (seat 8)
4. David "Devilfish" Ulliott - $310,000 (seat 3)
5. Can Kim Hua - $190,000 (seat 7)

2305 in the field. This is a pretty impressive showing.

Wow, 4 out of 5 pros(unless lieu is also a pro, don't recognize her) in the first final table. I was expecting a bunch of no-names here, but I guess the high volume of marginally clueless peoples means that there's more easy money for the pro's who can win some coinflips early and not take to many bad beats.

To bad Dutch probably won't get a sickening amount of t.v. time this time, in his blog before the world series he said he didn't have enough of a roll to enter. That just cracks me up when last year he's talking about taking over the poker world.

Heads up now... Fischman and Cunningham. Scott took out Devilfish (3rd), but Cunningham is still the chip leader.

[Talking Poker]

Hand 140 - Cunningham has the button, he limps, Fischman checks, and the flop comes 10h-6c-3s. Cunningham bets $100,000 and Fischman calls. The turn card is the 4d, Cunningham bets $250,000, Fischman pushes all in for about $800,000 more, and Cunningham stops to think before calling. Cunningham shows 6-3 of hearts (two pair), and Fischman has 5c-4h (pair, open-ended straight draw). Fischman needs to catch a two, four, or seven to stay alive. The river card is the Ac, and Scott Fischman is eliminated in second place, earning $352,125.


Allen Cunningham wins Event #2 ($1,500 No-LImit Hold'em), earning $725,405 and the coveted World Series of Poker bracelet.

Im glad cunningham won the event... everyone forgets how good he is just because he hasnt won a event since poker became huge.

Everyone will get to see him play and dominate the field.

Pretty good opening event I would say. Cunningham had a commanding chip lead for most of the day and played it obviously well.
