He could have conducted himself better. Watch the previous episodes. Tiffany on the other hand, I'm just glad she's gone--very annoying.

isn't chino well known in the poker world for borrowing money with little-to-no intent to pay it back?

seemed like a loveable goofball. a little annoying though.

i wasn't watching closely but i don't think i ever saw him make a good move. very surprised he's on the final table. but i didn't watch closely and obviously ESPN presents things a certain way.

I don't think so. I heard on pokerroad radio that hes been backed up alot, but hasn't had the money to pay off people yet. He said that when he final tabled in another WSOP event (not the main event) he used most of the winnings to pay off people.

I haven't really watched much footage of this year's WSOP but there was one hand where I thought he was borderline colluding. It was the hand where Chino bet the river against a buddy of his and says, "I'm telling you as a friend that I don't have a flush" or something to that extent. I'm sure he was only trying to induce a fold and not cheating, but he shouldn't be saying stuff like that at the table.

That + a jab he made at me at a live MTT = I don't like him.

Agree with OP, thought Chino came across very well on the whole.

After listening to some of the earlier reports from the WSOP I thought I would be rooting for Tiffany and rooting against Chino during the ESPN coverage even though I knew the results. Wrong I was.

I agree, he looked like a classy guy... but at the same time he sucked out in 3 major hands to get where he was, so I don't really think he could say anything if he wanted to.

I met Chino at the WSOPE. Struck me as a very humble and friendly guy. Also said a couple of things which convince me he is a decent human being.

Despite ESPN's apparent obsession with showing hands where he sucks out, I enjoyed watching his WSOP a great deal. He's very calm most of the time, and that's my favorite thing to see in a poker player; act like you know what you're doing.

really? i'm pretty sure some of those people rooting for him were non-asian. actually, i'd bet they were like...even jewish.

chino seems pike a really nice guy. some of the people he rolls with are super nice people, and good at poker to boot.

i thought that one kids(kliniski or something) sister screaming during every hand he was involved in was by far the most annoying thing during the entire ME.

Don't think he came off bad either.. You have to remember how much $$ these guys are playing for. It would be hard for anybody to hold in their emotions when hitting a presumably $1 Million+ river card

Based only on his appearance on HSP, I'd say Ramdin is only good at tournament poker.

Yeah, not so hard to be a class act when you've been getting extremely lucky for 6 days straight.

Isn't this what needs to happen to get to the final table of the WSOP ME?
Either 1) A lot of you don't play the donkaments 2) A lot of you are just haters 3) Haven't played a single hand of live poker and realize this is an emotional game. That's why i enjoy Cheering for suck-outs and complaining about bad beats in the comfort of my own home.

How come no one has mentioned when Tiffany Michelle called for a clock in a $11 million pot that she wasn't in? That was truly classless. I probably would have gotten a penalty...
