For the poker fans here, who do you think is gonna win the main event this year? The prize for first this year is $7.5 million.

I have no idea, every time I try to watch poker on tv, I get frustrated because I can't understand the poker jargon, and I turn it off.

I LOVE watching poker....I want Scott Lazar to win.....I don't know if he will, but I'm rooting for him.

I'm all-in....

[1337 k4th0l1x0r]

I'm rooting for Andy Black.

I just hope it's not Matusow. My prediction is Matusow will have the chip lead heads up against Black, drop 20 f-bombs, get a 40 minute penalty, and be blinded out of the tourney.

Bit of background about how the 2 pokerstars guys got in.

Bergsdorf qualified via a $33 rebuy

Kondracki got in on a $160 double shootout which is basically, win your table to get to the final table of that satellite., PS does them 9X9 its possible he could of won his way into this tournament though , that is unclear (They had $5.50 rebuy tourneys you could qualify into the double shootout with)

Update:

Matusow out in 9th (YES!!!)
Kondracki out in 8th

The rest:
Seat 1: Joe Hachem $6.56
Seat 2: Andrew Black $13.05 - Chipleader
Seat 3: Tex Barch $10.4
Seat 4: Daniel Bergsdorf $3.26
Seat 5: Aaron Kanter $11.17
Seat 6: Steve Dannenmann $5.37
Seat 7: Scott Lazar $6.47

[Tony]

go Bergsdorf!

[1337 k4th0l1x0r]

Actually, I'm changing who I'm rooting for now. When I had previously heard Andy Black, and Irishman, stayed at a monastery for a while, I thought it was a Catholic Monastery. Apparently he's Buddhist. While my switch isn't because he's Buddhist, it's because one of the other players, Hachem, has 4 kids. Obviously he's closer to being Catholic .

Your man just went out.

[Tony]

yeah I jsut noticed that


this audio is just a bunch of chit chat, not much actual Commentary.. blah

[Tony]

this year's winner won't be from Pokerstars.. they had the last two, Raymer and Moneymaker

[1337 k4th0l1x0r]

There's not much commentary because the pace of tournament poker is really slow and they won't show the cards until the broadcast. It's an event much like a baseball game or a golf game. It's best done as a highlights show.
