Amateur player Arnold Thimons, who won his seat on Poker After Dark through a freeroll, was given the opportunity to choose his competition for the $120K winner-take-all prize -> http://www.pokerafterdark.com/this-week

If i would have won the qualifier my opponent pick would be:
Paola Martin (eye candy)
Joanna Krupa (eye candy)
Live Boreee (eye candy)
Mike the Mouth (some table entertainment)
Phill Hellmuth (to get on tilt)
Doyle Brunson (the legend i always wanted to play with)

oh gawd. Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly?

I don't mind Laak, but Laak and Tilly make me want to slit my wrists with a dull, rusted, serrated razor.

Thimons? Is this a rerun or something

Oh god, the Thimons week.

I'd just about put it out of my mind.

This has already been aired.....so this threads a bit useless :P

i wont ruin it for you if u havent seen it though. results are in the spoiler below: look if you dare.

Uhhhh.. i havent seen Dream Table III - The NBC Website should mark it as a re-run.

rerun. won't be a new episode til December and that will be a cash game.

Dec 7-Dec 12 and Dec 14-Dec 19
Railbird Heaven Cash Game
Patrik Antonius Daniel Negreanu Gus Hansen Phil Ivey Tom Dwan Phil Hellmuth

I'll be shocked if DN doesn't lose at least 2 buy ins.

If it is a reair it is stated as such on the weekly preview.

When I saw this was going to be a repeat, I saved the upcoming schedule to the hard drive. There were a couple I missed.

Encore sounds like bringing the same people back for a new game, while a re-air is just a repeat. However Daniel is the only entertaining pro here, I doubt anyone wants to see those other nobodies play.

PS. g3no, you picked 6 opponents. Weren't you planning on playing yourself ? You could serve the cocktails though.

It's true that Thimons wasn't a good player, he's no Ken Light, but he also got unlucky that week. There isn't much you can do when you wait for aces all week, and they almost never come.

Is this a level ?.

I thought PS pros weren't allowed on PAD anymore?

This is a level right? This has been on tv b4

That game was filmed ages ago.

Oh, wow. I had no idea they would keep things in the tank that long.

FYP

fyfyp

But...he even got his Aces, really early in the week. And he got barely more than the blinds for them.

Yeah, he got them once, lots of good that's going to do for you. You can't win the tournament in one hand.

Rail Heaven is going to be insaaaane
