I did see the end of the WSOP episode last night ($2,000 buy-in no limit Hold 'Em) and, while the Brit did get lucky, the other guy blew it as well. Gave away a $250,000 chip lead and then busted out basically in two hands (probably more but it looked that way due to editing).
Who goes all-in when playing heads-up with a chip lead at the WSOP with a pair of 4's? He may play in Amarillo Slim's home game back in Texas, but he didn't learn that from Slim.
Also, I like the new innovation of the Rabbit Cam, where the dealer can now show the TV audience what card would have hit the board next if a player had not folded to end the hand...

Re: Celebrity Poker. True, they are stupid. But Phil isn't. And I think he's much more knowledgable than those jackass announcers on ESPN. Those guys sometimes say what the player should do. Phil does this too, but he also tells you WHY.

Maura Tierny is a better player than either of those two in last night's WSOP. What the fuck was that Brit doing calling the all-in before the river with the middle pair? Stupid. And the 4-4 all-in was just brutal. He had the chip lead for god sake. Show some fucking patience.
Love the rabbit cam.
