WSOP Final Table Madness

First of all, I'd like to thank AlCantHang, TaoPauly, Change100, and F-Train for providing me with updates and endless entertainment well into the night and the morning. You guys deserve a beer or twenty after the day you just put in.

The 2009 WSOP final table was just plain silly last night. I tried starting from hand #1 and following it all the way down to the final 2. I saw the first 2 eliminations. Then I woke up from nodding off at the keyboard around 3:00 a.m. and there were still 7 left. FML, I'm going to bed. I'll leave this shit in the hands of the reporters I mentioned above. I jumped out of bed around 7:00 a.m. to check the progress of the tournament. Surely someone has been eliminated. I was in a Nyquil haze, but I'm almost positive there were still 7 left!!!!!!!

There was no doubting I was pulling for Phil Ivey in this one. Him and Tom "Durrrr" Dwan are the 2 sickest players on the planet. I was heartbroken to find out that Ivey's AK was defeated by Darvin "Run Like the Sun" Moon's AQ. Gay. Several reporters (not the good ones I listed above) gave Phil Ivey some flack because he didn't do his exit interview. WTF guys? If you had been playing poker for 12-15 straight hours, on the short stack the ENTIRE TIME, and then finally get your money in good just to get sucked out on, not to mention all the hounding Ivey gets on a daily basis, would you want to stop and chat with the media after that bustout? Fuck that, leave the man alone. I'll d his interview for him. Media: How do you feel about your bustout Phil? Phil (thru me): I want to stab Darvin "RUN LIKE THE FUCKIN SUN" Moon in the eye with a spork! and </interview>

Anyway, the smoke has cleared and it's down to Darvin Moon and Joe Cada, heads up for the 2009 WSOP main event title. Darvin Moon qualified in a casino just a couple hours from my house. It's no secret that I wasn't rooting for him at all though. The man ran like the sun for 8 straight days to get here. It will be obvious tomorrow night just how bad of a player he actually is (including a horrendous 3 bet where he folded to a 4 bet getting about 8 to 1 on his money). However, I will be rooting for him because Joe Cada might not be a douchebag, but he's got plenty of friends that are. He seems to have cornered the market on douchey drunken fratboy friends. Some of these guys were ejected from the P&T theatre for their drunken antics. How fucking drunk do you have to be to get kicked out of Vegas sporting events? Seriously guys.

I wasn't personally there to witness any of this, but I can only imagine. There's someone every year that brings the d-bag friends to fill the seats at the WSOP. Don't be that guy. Your friends will just make you look like an ass on ESPN.
