When you copy paste hands like that you need to copy the image locations of the cards or put them in yourself. You can see the full thing here: http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting ... .33820.htm

John Monnette has always been a classless prick. He does this every summer in near enough every event he plays. See here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/ne ... he-508528/

I can't stand the bloke :lol: I'll concede that Luke Schwartz is worse but Hellmuth is hardly a great meter-stick to measure irritation levels next to IMO.

Nope. What happening?

The only problem I get is that I have to refresh it after clicking 'I don't have Facebook' the first time. Works a charm second time.

Good luck!

He did run really well (I lost count of the number of boats he made in the Omaha variants) but you can only play what is dealt. It's probably one of the tougher events to even make the money in due to the standard of play and he wasn't running sick for 5 days straight, just when it mattered most. To win this event in 2010 and 2012 is pretty incredible accomplishment, IMO.

The bit on this week's Final Table podcast where Dennis mentioned he busted against some guy who flatted his 4bet out of position with J9dd. :slol:

Yeah, that wasn't nice. I ended up 2nd, got lucky with JQ v KQ all in with 5 left, then got unlucky heads up. Swings and roundabouts.

Anyone else playing much nowadays?
