World Series of Poker 09 Final Table

[Swatt]

moon doesn't deserve to be at this stage at all.

hoping cada will crush him in like 3 hands.

edit: just reading card player...

looks like cada caught a crapload of cards too. JJ vs 33? QQ vs 22? and sets on the 80-20? holy crap

everyone's just pushing with pocket pairs or AK/AQ... feels like a tight game and luckfest to me.

I was trying to avoid spoiling anything but yea Cada sucked out big time. 4 times at least I do believe. I think 3 of them he was dominated pre-flop. But that's poker, it's about hitting your cards sometimes more than going all in with the best hand.

Is anyone else entirely uninspired by Cada and Moon? Don't get me wrong, I thought Ivey was a long shot with such a small stack going into the finals, but these two seem to have the least amount of personality.

[Starr]

How can I see this in England? Have to wait til someone puts it on YouTube?

[Hex]

Cada looks like he's got something wrong with his face. Moon tried everything he could to blow his stack. These two hit hands with low % of winning and that's why they're at the final table.

As for watching it in England, I guess youtube is your best choice. Tuesday night sometime.

[Starr]

ok, post here if you think it's worth watching

Do you like to see bad poker rewarded with suckout after suckout? If so, this is the event for you.

[Takedown3]

thats poker why dont you cry about it

[Mocker]

That was just awful

Not exactly enthused about the heads-up phase at this point

[Hex]

Heads up started 2.5 hours ago. Moon is playing really well this time around.

[Hex]

And it's over. Went 88 hands I think they said.

Spoiler: show

Cada is the champ.

Final hand was Cada with 99 vs Moon QJ Diamonds.

Gonna bump this now for those who wanted to wait & watch it tonite on ESPN.. 90 minutes 'til shuffle time!

It sucked to see Phil Ivey go out the way he did. If he hadn't of gotten unlucky a couple of times he could have made it very interesting.

Shulman blinded his chances away like I imagined he would. Tight players can't win huge tournaments like these anymore. You actually have to play some poker rather than sitting around and pray for a big hand. I was hoping he would have some sort of grand display after getting knocked out with all the shit he's been talking about how the WSOP has been run, but he disappointed me.

I didn't realize that Cada had such a strong poker resume, but he got extremely lucky and used it to the best of his advantage; I was very impressed. I was also impressed with Moon. He pushed a lot more than I would have, but managed to stay around and gained my respect with what I saw of his Heads Up play.

Not the way I would have liked it to go down, but it was an entertaining Final Table.

[Olo401]

I'm amazed that in the past four months, Shulman didn't shave.

[Titanss]

wow I would have never thought it would've ended like that .

F'ing ESPN. Why schedule two hours then edit it down to 2:30 hours? My TiVo didn't record the ending. I know who won now but I still wanna see how it went down. Gonna have to catch the repeat on Thursday.

Yeah, I was confused as well about how a taped and edited program could run long. I guess they just couldn't find any way to cut an additional 30 minutes worth of action.
