Did anyone else notice in the picture where the Nov. 9 is reaching for the bracelet that Jeff Shulman has his hand elsewhere?? The rumor must be true then. If Phil doesn't win (I hope he does) I'd like to see Jeff win just to see what he is going to do with the bracelet.
I was in Vegas watching the live action, & rereading the PokerNews live update notes, you did a superbe job guys communicating the hands, and pace of the WSOP Main Event. Nice work!
since when is a 5 high flush a bad hand?
Thanks Pokernews for cover all this summer and congratulations very good videos of the 40 years of WSOP exellent's
where can we go to see coverage at Bellagio?
omg, some donk put 20 mill in with a 5 high flush, wtf. how he ge this far? wow

Jeff Shulman is a publisher, along with his father Barry, of Card Player Mag.
mmmmm, it is actually Card Player magazine
mmmmm []

Truck_T []

Truck_T []
*know nothing about poker..... sorry still a bit hungover...

jdb74... I have read your post and you know never at all about poker, so dont comment. This is a great FT, Ivey, JA, Schulman, Cada top players obv.. cant wait..
Excellent television table this year. Can't wait.
AKenhead is a europe grinder, Cada was one of the best online players in 2008 and now plaays shulman has over a million in tournament winnings buchman has around a million and Ivey is considered to be the best in the world by many
How the fuck did Kopp get there when he loses his chips so easily
Prieure []
Kopp is such a donkey, how can you get knocked out of this tournament with so many BBs when all you have is a five high flush, lmao donk.
Demidov was the best at last year's final table
douwevh []
lol @ jbd, montgomery? the guy bluffed in a pot where his opponent was getting 15 to 1 on the river.. lol.. you never heard of shullman and akenhead? lol
other than Ivey... tell me who on this table you take over: 2008: Eastgate, Demidov, Chino Rheem, Scott Montgomery, Kelly Kim Thats a ridicioulous argument i personally have never heard of any of these people before last year.This year we have Ivey,Shulman and Aitkenhead that i have heard off.
pelican []
but then again, half of the 05 final table got there by pure luck, it's a tough one. i think 05 will be more exciting tho
pelican []
nah look i agree with jdb74 coz yeh ohk guys like hachem black yeh they were pretty much no names, but they were still experienced players and had an idea of what to do, where as half this final table have no idea what there doing and got here by pure luck
Tekkes []
I'm definately with lucky on this one.. Next year it will be: ooooh darvin moon etc. but you can't look passed an ivey, shulman, (akenhead).
lucky22 []
funny how you mentioned all those years that those players made the final table. 90% were no names!
jdb74 []
I hope one of these guys final tables WSOPE between now and November and shuts me up... but I'm really interested in knowing exactly who else thinks this final table holds up against most of this decade
lucky22 []
dude why are u fast forwarding all of their accomplishments. It's what they did "UP TO THAT POINT OF MAKING THE FINAL TABLE!" When MOST of those players made the final table they were NOBODY to recognize. We have the best player of all time in Phil Ivey. Akenhead and Shulman who are very decorated

lucky22 []
years meaning 4, 5, maybe 6 years ago. 01 was 8 years ago. OBV 01 had better players. My 6 year old son could have told me that
lucky22 []
jdb74 seriously just don't say anything. It's OBV u know nothing about poker
jdb74 []
looking at 2003 up until now... this might be the least talented final table we've had since 2002... good luck to them in November though. I hope they prove me wrong.
jdb74 []
no way is this the most talented final table... even spotting them the best possible in Ivey... 2001 with Mortensen, Tomko, Matusow, Gordon and some guy named Hellmuth.... all finishing higher than 6th. That's also the one that Negreanu basically bubbled. It's an interesting discussion though
Be congrats to James Akenhead. Thoroughly deserved after Hinkle donked him out heads-up in event 2 last year.
BIG BOSS!!!!!
GL IVEY BUT LAMB DESERVED IT FN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

what is the etiquette when someone farts at the poker table?
thanks PN for all the updates!!! Go Philly!!! Great showing Billy Kopp, KY is proud!!!
Just got back from the Rio. Hopefully I'm going to be able to hear myself yelling when that last card peeled off. We were f'ing loud but so was everyone else. Good times!
Tiger Woods ... Roger Federer ... Phil Ivey
the reason espn is not showing the 40k is ratings period. the non poker viewers get bored cause they only learn to watch no limit..got no idea the rest of the game
Ivey all the way!
Of course I want to thank all the reporters from Pokernews that managed to let the WSOP become alive throughout their marvelous coverage. It was a thrilling competition especially today and you did all this, 6 weeks long but totally free to participate. I wish you the very best and God may bless you
I'm out. Ivey FTW!!!
