*** First off, tonight is the debut of TNA Impact on its new night of Thursday at 11PM on Spike TV!! So if you aren't gonna be playing late nite pokah, check it out!!
The Doyle Brunson North American Championship final table had its share of all-star players at the final table that included95 WSOP Champion "Action" Dan Harrington, high-stakes cash game specialist Minh Ly, and WPT Mirage Showdown Champ Gavin Smith.
Again, IMO, the best player got short changed again. Gavin Smith seemed to play impeccable poker, as Harrington was also on his "A-game" not to far behind. If Gavin would have won the monster hand vs. Minh K-8 vs his A7s, Gavin would be a 2-time WPT Champ and undoubtably the WPT Player of the Year thus far going into the WPT Championship later this month, in which I believe he deserves. Gavin made the right read ono this hand(Minh has alot of tells that I've picked up on; i.e. antsy w/A-A and the pausing check when he hit the nut str8 on Smith) but got rewarded with nothing as a King hit and crippled Smith to 3rd place.
Minh Minh was definitely on tilt and the luckiest out of them all. His all im reraise all-in over 2.5+ million on the 1st hand HU w/a mediocure KJ against a ti-zight Harrington (had A-J) was very questionable and in essence gavie Harrington a 4.5-1 chip lead or so. Next broadcasted hand was a dandy as the ol' 3-outer of reraising all-in w/10-9o after Harrington's raise w/A-9 to only see a 10 flop than saved his ass made me nausious but not as sick as Michael Simon's performance at the World Poker Challenge. I guess it was only suiting that a friend of Doyle's and some1 wearing the Doyle t-shirt won the Doyle Brunson North American Championship.
