This seems to be much, much faster.

This is MUCH faster. Last year's final table was almost 15 hours long and the action was MUCH slower.

This pace is very reminicent to 2004 when Raymer mowed over the field.

I do expect Yang to lose. He has a ton of chips but, unless he keeps getting hit by the deck, he is going to donk off a lot of them.

I remember people saying similar stuff last year about Jamie Gold.

I actually watched the entire final table last year, this year I doubt I'll catch any of it. Haven't touched chips in months, & haven't played online since the stupid port security bill.

I know, but I really believe that he is not going to win this thing.

As for the bill, there is a bill that has been introduced and that has many sponsors for the regulation of online poker.

BTW, there are still places that you can play online. I do.

I can't believe that I almost ordered this on PPV, even after getting the feed.

I never thought watching poker could be so much fun.

chip leader has QQ, and someone raises all in w/aqo. he's in trouble.

edit:
small stack sucks out with the Ace. thats 3 all-ins the chip leader gets sucked out against, but he is still chip leader :Q

another all in!
chip leader =88, short stack = ako

edit:
chip leader flops a set. looks dire for short stack

edit2:
chip leader wins. we're now 3handed

edit3:
if chip leader didnt get sucked out in previous hands, he would be champion right now
