Was on TV last night. I don't think I've ever watched a WSP so intense!
8 thousand plus people started the tourney this year...took months to get to final table of only 9 players.
-The favorites to win got knocked out halfway through
-Runner cards on turns and rivers constantly saving the underdogs.
-Nut flushes out of nowhere knocking on King flushes.
-Low stacks becoming surviving all ins.
-pairs of 2's and 3's turning into trips and full houses.
-pots at $50M plus.
-chip leaders going from top to bottom in a hand
-knockouts by surprise
-catching rivers to save their souls on all in's
-Never saw so many Ace Queen hands trap people and pair of Jacks too.
-constant pairs dealt
-Wheel and inside straights coming on the river on All in's!
-Poker faces like I've never seen!
-So many playing the player vs. their cards to catch the pot!
down to 3 players-
Dennis Phillips - oldest at 50 years plus
Peter Eastgate from Denmark -22 years old
Ivan Demimov from Russia -27 years old.
Demidov leading - got trapped gave up most of his chips- went all in on last play -playing dead!
Eastgate took home the bracelet and $9M - broke record as youngest player at 22 to winner beating out Phil Hellmuth being the youngest years ago!
A seriously nail biting final table. One of the best. Glad insomnia kept me up to watch it! WOW!!
