I love darwin moon

It's been pretty epic so far. Big lol at Dennis Philips heater ending.

I felt sorry for him. Sick way to exit the tournie after playing so well for so long (well it looked that way anyway). He got lucky a bit earlier with the QQ where he got the flush on the river. The old guy did a bit of a slowroll with the set of As.

Juan Pablo · 23-10-2009 2:03pm

Pretty enjoyable so far even with the crazy bias on certain players.

In light of the lull in live poker in the states (highlighted by the recent terrible turnout in the Bellagio's Festa Al Lago), over zealous regulation etc, who's victory do we think would be best for a) poker in the US and b) poker globally. Would a win for Darvin Moon stimulate another "Moneymaker Effect"? Would a win for Phil Ivey catapult him (and poker) into the mainstream media. In contrast to the decline in the US, poker in Europe is booming so would there be any real benifit to poker if a Euro won it?

Slash/ED · 23-10-2009 2:10pm

The impact would be minor eitherway but I guess Ivey would be the best, he could possibly get some mainstream media coverage and become the guy who even people who don't play or know poker knows.

".. and Antonio feels the sting of the Moon man".

Margets is way sexy.

That'd kill Phil Hellmuth!

The final table has been set and will reconvene on November 7th when these nine players battle for their share of over $27 million. First they will play down until 2 remain. The final 2 will finish play on November 9th and then the event will be broadcast by ESPN on
November 10th.

Got this on WSOP website

It was the same last year.

Jesus Wept · 27-10-2009 10:31pm

I see, I didn't watch any of it last year. I watched it live the year Jerry Yang won.

lol@me, the only reason I watched the coverage so far was because I thought the final table would be live.

BobSloane · 27-10-2009 10:54pm

Anyone know what blind levels FT will start with?

nm- 120k/240k/30k if anyone cares. Ivey will have an M of 15 with position on moon.

Whyno · 27-10-2009 11:01pm

The venue has now been changed for the wsop min event final table to a forrest in canada so as to allow Darvin Moon play his a game.....

Ya gotta like this guy.Straight as a dye and i doubt hes bluffed the hole tournament.

If darvin ships the ME there'll be 20000 entering the ME next year

hatedajacks · 28-10-2009 12:46pm

New episodes are up.Ivey not perfect after all,mis read his hand and mucked in a 2 million plus pot

carrig2007 · 28-10-2009 1:33pm

I'd love to see ivey or akenhead win but you cant see past moon, with the chips he has and the solid way in which he plays. He has openly admitted that he has run outstanding (on day2 he was all in with QQ against AA and made quads....!!!) and if it comes down to poker he's way behing the rest of em

Whyno · 28-10-2009 2:56pm

I dislike Warren Zackey....fcuker anyway

Seen that Kev, couldn't believe it. Even the best make mistakes. Pretty unreal.

Having said that I've seen many people go on monkey tilt after doing something similar so Kudos to Ivey for keeping it together & kicking on...

Don't think Ivey realised he made that mistake!! Probably only copped it last night after watching ESPN !!

Except he hasn't kicked on. He's gone from a stack of 16m chips to less than 10m. An unbelievable achievement to get so far but it'll take some performance (and a bit of luck) to win from where he is now.

Nope, look at his face immediately after he mucked; he copped it straight away & was sick

IMO getting to the FT from the last 27 stage is kicking on and he's ok stack wise relative to the blinds to take it down from his position.

that face was a reaction to his utg open being 3 bet oop by a9 off. Don't think he noticed

Only half watched the most recent 2 episodes last night and missed this.
Do you know if it was in the latest or 2nd latest episode?

j10spades · 28-10-2009 11:19pm

what do the blinds and antes start at on the FT? i know the average is 20m and i know who has what.

zuutroy · 29-10-2009 12:47am

Ugh that Begleiter guy is horrible. Playing 8M he calls a 3bet to 1.1M OOP and cracks some lad's AA.

Silver-Tiger · 29-10-2009 1:02am

Cant wait to see that waxy animal Maimone getting buried.

pooman · 29-10-2009 8:24am

I think Ivey did realise it.. his reaction just after mucking is priceless..

Beglighter J9 is donkathon call at best..

Kopp "I dont think you hit that flop for some reason"..lucky donk but he had outs if he was wrong...I just love to see those who actually do get it wrong actually lose a pot now and again.. ipoker!!!! :mad:

Ivey wont win...why would he..

Aikenhead short but you saw Maimone's run in episode 27...:pac:

Juan Pablo · 29-10-2009 11:55am

The fold is clearly some sort of Level 24 Meta game play by Ivey that we mortals can't understand.

Either that or some sick million dollar prop bet he made in Bobbys Room whereby he folds a winner deep into the main event live on TV
