WSOP Main Event thread, NVG style - Page 50 - Poker News

David Benyamine is still in there too, 640 000 chips. Can't figure out why no one mentioned his name in the last few pages !

Ivey, La Bamba, Sebok, God I Love America and Got Dem Pocket Sebens for the FT ? Do it.

Four reasons:

1.) Stupidity of players
2.) Stupidity of players
3.) Boredom because every ****ing hand takes 5 minutes of Hollywooding so when you see your first decent starting hand in two hours you feel like you have to go with it
4.) Stupidity of players

Are there any women left? I think I would have seen something had the last woman busted, but I don't recall seeing any definitively female names in the chip counts.

Hachem doesn't take losing too well, but what world beater does?

His brother seems to do OK too.

I don't care that Hachem isn't from the US, but his attitude and jumping around screaming, "Ousie, Ousie, Ousie" isn't a good advertisement for your country.

What "world beater" takes losing well? Phil Ivey for one.

Benyamine/Morgan/Ivey table will get the shaft like Bonyadi/Ivey/JJ/Lederer did in 2005 for featured table.

Huh? Nobody here gives a crap what country he's from. We are equal-opportunity haters.

Hachem's not that bad IMO, but when you see him grumping about his luck and snarling "one time" not in a fun way, but like the dealer really, truly owes it to him... when he's already had 100x his allotment of lifetime luck by winning the WSOP Main Event... well, to those of us who slog away at this for a living and never get anywhere, it's not a very endearing trait.
