oh, AND i just found out that jamie gold won the WSOP 2006 main event. what the hell man.

though i havent had a chance to watch the final table yet, im willing to bet he just got lucky. he had been hitting the cards the entire tournament, so it would be no surprise to me if his lucky continued. which is quite annmoying considering he was at the table with allen cunningham.
it's allen cunningham.

even more frustating considering that phenomenal read prahlad friedman had on gold once the field was narrowed down to about 20 or so players. granted, prahlad is a professional, so he should be able to read his opponents like that, but he didnt follow through. whch angers me. but i digress. aside from cunningham, gold was in a field of nobodies... gold's intimidating chip stack, along with the clout that comes with being johnny chan's pupil, obviously intimidated the rest of the field. he bullied them, while still playing the nice guy. and he hit the cards.

in one word: luck.

i cant wait for a real poker player to win the WSOP again. like negreanu. or phil ivey.

or me ;o)

i just finished watching the final table of the WSOP. as it turns out, allen cunningham just had a bit of an off day, though i will definetly credit him on getting away from some very VERY ugly hands (like when he called exactly what jamie gold was holding... a 5-2 offsuit). so overall, cunningham did not do as well as i woul dhave hoped, which could definetly directly coorelate to jamie gold's win. not to mention he really did just hit the cards. ugh.
