Final WSOP Main Event Coverage

I watched the WSOP coverage last night and all I can say is, “WOW”! From the way they portrayed it this year it makes Poker seem like nothing but a game of luck. They just kept showing sick suck out hands over and over again. As dull as this sounds, to me it looks like Buchman played the best at the final table. He just sat on his hands and let everyone knock each other out. At that point he just needed a little luck to take over the lead and maybe win the whole thing. With his stack I would have played it the same way also. I know it’s hard to tell from an edited Poker show but it seems Cada just got the luckiest cracking over pairs and winning key races. I don’t want to take anything away from his play being you need to get really lucky to win these things anyway. I read the excellent write up over at Dr. Pauly’s BLOG about the Heads up battle between Moon and Cada. Moon actually took a large lead against a heads up Internet specialist so he doesn’t have anything to be ashamed of. Even though he called off his stack with J-Q sooted, it wasn’t that bad being he was in a total race situation against pocket nines. If he wins that 50-50 he most likely would have been the winner. Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables. Tony
