Shieky "The A-Hole" and More

The 2nd episode of the HU-Championship just aired yesterday that featured a match between "Kid Poker" Daniel Negreanu vs. his ex-girlfriend Evelyn Ng. I couldn't believe Evelyn folded the pair and the flush draw to Daniel's all in re-raise. This hand probably put her on tilt with led to her demise.

The next feature table was with Mr. Hollywood James Woods versus one of my favs and probably the hottest, young poker studs today (that doesn't sound right but only refers to pokah baby) Scott Fischman. Woods ends up going down with my new least favorite hand Q-Q to Scotty's AK when a King flops and no Hollywood ending in this tourny.

Alright, the most entertaining part of the night had to be Shawn Shieky vs. the unpredictable Gus Hansen. I've been watching Gus on TV lately and he has not been winning the coin flips!! What's up with dat?! The "cooler" hand of the night most definitely when Gus holds a mediocure 10-6o vs. Shawn's 9-8s. Flop is 10-8-8 and it looks like Gus is in serious trouble. Turn is another 8 and Shawn milks his hand to the death. River is a 10 and I don't see Gus getting away from this. Gus say he's got the loser and Shieky slow-rolls his hand and finally spikes it down. Total jackass attitude of this man. And yes, this is coming from my mouth!! He'd make Phil Hellmuth earn Allen Cunningham's nickname, "The Nicest Guy in Poker!!" Well, Gus never recovers and the assclown Shieky advances.

The WPT 5-Diamond World Poker Classic Finals are tonight. I just hope to hell that jabroni named Roland doesn't come out on top. Did you guys see this guy's (lack thereof) skill at the WPT Paris event? Folding, folding, folding before other people put their chips into the pot and then catching a lucky river HU against Juha that cripples Juha. I'm pulling for James Van Alsyne and of course, Men "The Master" who is on the short stack, but if anybody there that can do it, it's da masta!! Surprised not to see more "household pros" at the final table. When I saw the number of recognizable pros in the top 100, I could have sworn the event would form the most dangerous WPT final table yet but with a rudy-poo named Roland, that ruins it!
