I would love to see him win it. Maybe we will see a new rich donk in high stakes poker (Jamie Gold!!!)

"He made his WSOP main-event debut last year using $5,000 of his winnings from a local poker league and $5,000 of his own money to participate in the event." http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news...even-begleiter

Local poker league winner = 5-handed $1k SnG with other Bear Stearns bonus-whores, ldo.

Moon laid down Kings to a 4-bet didn't he?

I don't see him 5 betting AQ off like Begleiter

Maybe that's why Bear Stearns went busto...they had lots of people like him running the show

Duh he's an idiot! Hello!?! who did he used to work for? BEAR STEARNS! he wasn't some low level guy either, he was first HEAD of corporate strategy and then was also the HEAD of Asset Management. And we all know how that went! Into the ground. He's a big part of the problem the economy now faces. "At the time, we did what we thought was right." Yeah pocketing money for yourselves at the expense of everyone else you shmuck.

agree, hes a douche. hope ivey beats down on him hard with some comment, and then rapes him in an all in hand.

You have to think the pros are licking their chops at a former Bear Stearns guy donking his way to a win and thinking he's poker god.

Yep...him or Darvin Moon but Darvin is actually likeable so "Begs, Begs, Begs" is the biggest donk and douche of them all

hmmmmmmmm boys

This.

One way or another, all the money will end up with Ivey anyway.

Someone should like murder Begleiter before Nov 9 to save us the pain and hurt of seeing him play.

ya that would be awesome!!

Level right? You didn't really think they were chanting "Ozzie! Ozzie! Ozzie!" did you?

Only thing funny about him imo is that a guy that was so high on the corporate ladder of Bear Sterns has so much gamble in him. Makes you wonder wether it's coincidence or they really did **** everything up because of their high-risk deals.

Other than that, isn't it standard that some major donk FTs the main event? Some of them even win it!

I hate him so much. he's such a toolbag and is luckboxing his way into the final 9. when he flatted with J9s that one hand i was like OMG he's bad. he flopped a miracle and still didnt even have the hand on a lock. such a moron.
why couldnt it just be J83 so he could donk off his chips with tpnk.

also, Billy kopp is horrible at poker. from watching him play i'd say hes terrible and makes moronic emotional decisions. That hand he had against the french guy who had JJ when he had 78 for pair+gutter, he obv cant call, becuase his pair is never good and he just donks it up and gets there. and he chats "you got Ace king or something?" what a fish.

if anyone bad at poker wins i hope its darvin moon cuz he's an incredibly nice and modest, and salt of the earth and whatnot. plus it would be great for the games. and hes not a toolbox.

on the 78 vs JJ hand billy was not far from getting correct odds to call even if he knew his opponent had an overpair. he was only a 2:1 dog. so if you factor in some very small chance of the french guy spazzing with overs or something -- and let me reiterate that he's french -- the call is fine

i've heard from people much better at poker than me that billy kopp is good, and i'm inclined to believe them. but i still haaaate his bustout hand and think he just went nuts for a moment

Sheds some light on what happened at Bear Stearns

I fully agree with you on all three players analyses.

Beg - brainless moron
Kopp - fish just making an excuse to donk off his chips by making that "ace king?" comment
Moon - Nice guy, at least he won't cheer like a moron if he wins

He may have been French but he was an incredibly good player.

If Kopp had any sort of game flow reads he'd know he wouldn't have shoved ace high there.

And also Darwin admits that he's not good at poker he said himself that he has been incredible lucky but Steven Beigleter actually thinks he's great at poker and that is what makes him a real douchebag

If anyone was surprised that Bear Stearns went busto just look at what a degen they had in upper management.

This guy is not only a horrible poker player, he's got a terrible attitude, and his degenerate tendencies cost thousands of people their retirement.

I wish nothing but the worst for this pos.

haha

at least his fan club are creative..

"BEGS BEGS BEGS!"

oh wait, no theyre not.

i hope his complete poker bankroll goes busto within 6 months

ya, f**k them. At least poker players don't screw over the rest of the population with their gambling.
