Flop The Nuts · 07-12-2008, 12:20 AM

Where are you getting your updates? Is that woman from "American Pie" still alive?

The best line ever was, "I'd like to flop the nuts on her big pair", said by someone at her table.

Down to 189. Payouts are currently 39,000 with the next bump to 42K at 162.

Joseph remains the leader though he's dropped 500K to 2.1M. Gus Hansen has improved a lot sitting 800K behind Joseph. Cunningham has dipped but is alive with half the stack of the leader. Hellmuth is muddling around 600K. Same for Matusow at 500K. There's a Brandon Becker alive, but it's not the Purdue boy.

I hate Sheikhan. Did you guys read about what Kido Pham did?

RYou · 07-12-2008, 04:52 PM

In this tournament ? or, his notorious play of the past ? Let's just say, he's either a stellar card counter

or just plain off the wall.

2 hours and only 9 have been eliminated, now 180.

Joseph has lost 60% of stack and now sits a little over a mil. Matusow is up to 850K. Hellmuth down to 350K. Cunningham has played flat.

Tiffany Michelle, the ladies leader, has been quietly climbing to1.4 mil and closing in on the new leader, Christian Gaomir at 2.8 mil.

Kido Pham is now a short stack at 220K. Will he bet the ranch with JT again with the tourney on the line and so little to gain?

He accused someone (I forget who) of his card being marked, forcing the tourney director to turn over his opponents card.

Hellmuth up to over 600k. Matusow's at 660k. Cunningham is at 840k. James McManus is your leader at 3.4 mil.

He and Mike the Mouth got into it pretty hilariously, I guess it would have been 05 the year Matusow made the final table before he blew up.

Matusow made him look like a clown. Seriously, I dislike this guy. He's gotten into it pretty famously with both Phil Hellmuth and Freddie Deeb, on top of the infamous Matusow fight.

FYI, CUnningham down to 660k.
