Congrats indeed! That's just SO wrong, getting beaten like that. But congrats to Ken E. on an excellent tournament! Between his great finishing position, and HD's recent success in WSOP circuit events, it is being proven that TBJ players aren't simply a batch of one-trick ponies.
Here's an "old news" article from yesterday before the final table was completed, showing a photo of Einiger with his game face on: http://www.pokernews.com/news/2007/6/wsop-day17-overview-elezra-finds-gold-einiger-challenges.htm
Someone should tell him he has his hat on backwards....might have seen that king coming on the river if the bill would have been shading those bright lights from his eyes... Actually I think its quite an accomplishment to make a final table in poker after being a long time BJ player...BJ is lightning fast action compared to the waiting game poker usually is. You got your poker Brat ...now ya got your Poker Yellowjacket... Wonder if the poker book is in development yet???;-)
Thank You Thank you Guy's It was a tough beat just like in blackjack when the dealer makes a 21 and you have a 20 and get knocked out at the final table. Take care Kenny E.
I will be playing on Sat. Then I will play the following week a couple of events. Then of course the main event. I am selling 50% of myself if you are interested. Kenny
