i´ll take a guess and say he got sucked in by the poker boom for one single world series and never gave a **** about poker after that ...

he´s a very lucky guy if my guess is true

If only this was the right Eric Molina. I'd pay to see him get knocked out by a heavyweight boxer.

Confirmed its him.

Molina def didn't want a call. Most pros snap call when you tell them you'll show your hand if they fold. But I dunno he might be some evil genius.

Remember Eric Molina?

Molina was the cocky and brash player who pissed off practically the entire field in the 2006 World Series of Poker. Molina ended up finishing in 31st place in that event, taking home just under $330k for his efforts.

Molina seemingly disappeared after his run at the '06 World Series of Poker. That was his one and only cash - at least until he resurfaced at the 2011 Festa al Lago Classic earlier this week.

Molina finished in second place in Event #13 ($1k NLHE), which was good for $31,156.

Was a more mature Eric Molina on display at the Festa al Lago? Hardly. Molina was apparently pounding drinks and acting as belligerent as ever during the event.

The poker world has changed dramatically since the 2006 World Series of Poker, but Eric Molina is apparently the same loveable player that he was back then.

I hated Molina as much as everyone else..but watching that video of the all-in button hand with Gold I left it running after their hand was over and forgot how much I truly hated Humberto Brenes..he was all over TV in the early years and it only seemed to make him a bigger d-bag at the tables..I swear i don't know how someone never punched him out when he would wave that retarded shark around on an all-in hand..right in their face sometimes..GOD I hate that guy..singing that stupid song...acting a fool..ATRRRGGHHH

i didn't make the FT of that event but took like 11th or something, and while he was drunk, he was far from belligerent. unless he changed dramatically when they played at the 10-handed FT... or the next day at the FT. but my buddy frank won and he didn't say anything about it, so i don't know where that guy got his information because eric was actually really calm and well behaved, despite being really liquored up.

edit: unless he meant belligerently aggressive while playing, which he was completely and utterly spew-happy.

God forbid someone is having fun at a poker table. Yeah, he's annoying, but he's harmless.

King Of The Donks · 01-22-2013, 10:54 PM

Molina is a good guy.

Damus · 01-23-2013, 12:11 AM

A good guy Molina is.

This, oh so very much. Brenes is a good guy and harmless, but a poker player with long list of great results. Molina is a d-bag who apparently gets lucky every 5 years...
