WSOP Final Table Thread-Major Spoilers

Lathum · 05-28-2004, 03:35 PM

THe final table starts soon. I am rooting for Harrington. Who will be watching? I figured we could use the forum to post comments and chats.

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 04:09 PM

Watching at poker stars. Im also in EFNet #fofcwsop on irc if anyone wants to join for live chat.

Lathum · 05-28-2004, 04:12 PM

First one gone McClain's pocket ace get busted by 3 tens, what a tough beat.

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 04:17 PM

tough beat but of course the move was fine by greg. hes at nearly 9 million now. go baby go.

Lathum · 05-28-2004, 04:20 PM

Anyone else in the chat room on irc?

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 04:20 PM

not yet. waiting on youse guys

Lathum · 05-28-2004, 04:23 PM

OMG, Raymer is running hot.

Lathum · 05-28-2004, 04:24 PM

I'm trying to figure out how to get there

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 04:24 PM

Raymer gets another scalp, busting Mattias Andersson who held AK. Raymer's AT hits a gutshot straight on the river and Greg has right at 10 million.

kcchief19 · 05-28-2004, 04:27 PM

I'm in the IRC now.

Raymer is one lucky ass son of a bitch. He's called two all-ins and been behind at the time only to get bailed out. He's got a huge chip lead and the cards are hot. Don't know how he's going to lose.

For the record, it wasn't a gutshot.

Even more for the record, it was. 7-J and he spiked the 8 on the river.

Edit: N/M RPI is right. There was a Q on the board as well. So while it did make complete a gut shot, the high straight made was an open ender. My bad.

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 04:32 PM

no rpi is actually right, it was 8-Q

(open-ended : 9TJQ K or 8 completes it)

Yeah I noticed that right after I posted that. I edited my post above. My bad RPI.

get an irc client, like HyrdraIRC at www.hydrairc.com, connect to an EFNET server, and type /join #fofcwsop

SirFozzie · 05-28-2004, 04:45 PM

There's 4-5 of us there already. Join us for fun. Besides.. I want to challenge some folks to some poker

primelord · 05-28-2004, 04:45 PM

Wasn't there a pretty good IRC poker client around?

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 04:59 PM

hmm now theres an idea

SirFozzie · 05-28-2004, 05:04 PM

Hey. I'm game

Vince · 05-28-2004, 05:04 PM

larrymcg421 · 05-28-2004, 05:05 PM

The thing is, Raymer put himself in great chip position, allowing him to call all-ins that he most certainly would have folded were he covered (or even). He did get lucky, but even if he lost he'd still be in good chip position.

Looking on at Poker Stars now myself. Is anything happening? My screen shows hand #37, and "waiting for the next batch of hands".

Is this WAY behind? or are they breaking now?

JHandley · 05-28-2004, 05:45 PM

It's a very loose interpretation of "Near Real-Time"...you just gotta have patience to wait for action

larrymcg421 · 05-28-2004, 05:54 PM

I'm not able to watch because I'm at work. What's going on with Raymer? From reading the Pokerpages updates, it sounds like he's on major tilt.

Glengoyne · 05-28-2004, 05:58 PM

OK so if I am following this right. They are now playing $10K antes with a sb of 30k and bb of 60K, right?

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 06:06 PM

right

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 06:08 PM

raymer lost a coinflop AK vs 66 and got hit with a major outdraw by harrington (5 - outter on the river). Then Josh and someone else came over the top of him on a couple of hands and he had to fold.

larrymcg421 · 05-28-2004, 06:11 PM

Looks like Raymer bounced back with a nice $3 million pot.

primelord · 05-28-2004, 07:30 PM

Matt Dean just busted out

Anyone have a breakdown of the hand? I was working.

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 07:55 PM

I dont remember the way the action came down, but Williams got him allin on a board of 88x when Williams had AA and Dean had AT.

vtbub · 05-28-2004, 07:56 PM

Full house, A8

primelord · 05-28-2004, 08:53 PM

I just got back from dinner. Looks like Raymer is still in great shape. How about Harrington too? Another top 5 finish at minimum again this year.

SirFozzie · 05-28-2004, 09:01 PM

Harrington just got bad beat out in fourth with an INSANE call with a straight draw and bottom pair. the guy caught his straight on the river.

Heh I jinxed Harrington

sabotai · 05-28-2004, 09:18 PM

Harrington finished 4th. $1.5 million was his winnings.

larrymcg421 · 05-28-2004, 09:36 PM

Hmm. Pokerpages reports Harrington losing out missing a straight draw while his opponent rivered a full boat.

TazFTW · 05-28-2004, 10:04 PM

PokerStars is now correcting that hand and it is indeed a boat for Williams with Harrington missing a straight draw.

sabotai · 05-28-2004, 10:58 PM

And then there was 1...Raymer is your champion.

MJ4H · 05-28-2004, 11:00 PM

Congratulations Greg

JHandley · 05-28-2004, 11:03 PM

So who had Greg Raymer?

MJ4H · 05-29-2004, 11:26 AM

A post from Greg Raymer at the 2+2 forums. A bit of foreshadowing

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...ev=#Post624009

Vince · 05-29-2004, 01:25 PM

What hand did he win on?

MJ4H · 05-29-2004, 04:58 PM

Raymer had 88, Williams had A4. The flop flop was 245, turn 2, river 2. Williams raised preflop, Raymer called. Williams led at the flop and Raymer raised. Willams quickly called. Raymer led at the turn and Williams quickly called. Raymer pushed him all-in on the river and Williams quickly called.
