Our First Bit of Controversy
Raymond Rahme and one opponent were in a pot that went to the river. At showdown, the board read . Rahme"s opponent opened and "queens and eights" was called. Rahme put his cards face down on the table and started sliding them towards the dealer. Just as the dealer took them and put them into the muck, Rahme grabbed one of the cards back and opened it, revealing an eight. He protested that he had trip eights and that the pot was rightfully his. The dealer told him he couldn"t win the pot with only one live card, and with his other card in the muck, there was nothing to be done but award the pot to Rahme"s opponent. A floor was called, who made the same ruling. A second floor was called, and then an upper-level floor was also summoned to the table. Rahme has been vociferous in his objection that the pot should be his, but we suspect he is going to lose this argument.
-
What a prat. Why couldn"t he just turn them over?
-
His own fault, original decision should stand.
-
yeah its the oldest rule in the book
-
I"ll take Allen Cunningham.
What prize you puttin up Mal?
-
brit joe beevers had a good start...70k in chips....but most noted name knocked out that i could see.. Tom " drrr "
-
my moneys on some random yank? do i get a prize :P
-
Funny how people always pick the famous names that they know..... who was the last pro (or even famous amateur) to win the WSOP ME?? I suspect this year will be no different, and some unknown person will become an overnight poker name.
-
pretty sure the last famous pro to win was carlos mortenson in........2001?? 02 was varkoni, 03 moneymaker, 04 raymer, 05 hachem, 06 gold and 07 yang
-
hachem wasnt a complete unknown though, just australian so unknown in the US.
-
I fancy one of the big guns this year. Narrowing it down to 3 I"d have a stab at Esfandiari, Lederer or Ivey.
Mickey Patterson to cash??? ;D
-
William Thorson.
I"m gonna set up a fanclub.
I"m even questioning my own sexuality now. :-\
-

Do we happen to know if Andy Black is out there? Having seen his reaction to winning the premier league, would dread to think what he would do if he won the ME!!
-
I"m Gonna be Patriotic,
My money"s on a brit (not John Gale though - Exit stage Left Mr Gale), Julian Thew maybe?? What about James Akenhead as well - relativley unknown outside the uk - untill now that is ??? as he has come close and has had several large results outside of the Rio!
Good Luck to all the Ametuer Player that were lucky enough to win a seat!
-
Andy Black and William Thorson both gone, as is ram vaswani and jamie gold, Antonius going strong so far in day 2
-
the first person to give me a winner gets a pack of bourbon creams.
-

ok then, i will take a stab with erick lindgren ??? he has been havin an amazing wsop claiming his first braclet, numerours final tables and just locked up the wsop player of the year honours. he is sitting on a decent stack after day 1 so he"s my pick ;D ...what are the chances lol :-\
-
David Singer
-

It"s not the most stable of connections tonight, but keep trying. I got on, but struggled to navigate much around the site.

so all the big name pros are gone. matusow got very unlucky on his last hand to finish 30th, would have like to have seen him in the "november nine". luckily hellmuth bust too, could u imagine spending the next few months listenin to him profess his greatness lol! either of those guys makin the final would have made a media frenzy.
as for the remainin players, tiffany michelle is sitting in 3rd/4th, could we see our first female main event champ ???.................

Given that she has gone deep, Is this post an audition for Tiffanys day job, Billy? If so I"d love you to do the pokerlistings video updates and interviews ;D
-
As much as I love Billy ( :-* ) I"d still rather watch Tiffany. No contest really!

neil, dont think i can disagree there (neither would anyone else, even rob). as she is now gone in 17th, i reckon she may keep the day job anyway so u are all safe and dont have to put up my shiny napper ;D
