    Hmmm...his victory photo of him sandwiched between two bros makes me think that he definitely didn't win with a straight.

    That wasn't a very enjoyable final table. Six of the seven guys who went out before it got down to heads-up lost on hands where they were the favorite going in, and the guy who was playing the best poker there (Saout) got knocked out in third place by the eventual winner on an absurd hand. The final two were a dude who got an amazing number of big cards and a kid who was all-in and dominated, probability-wise, like fifteen times over the tourney's last three days.

    Part of the game is luck, sure, but witnessing that much of it have that substantial of an effect was frustrating. I prefer seeing good play and strategy, not watching people repeatedly go in on marginal hands and river sets and flushes. #worldseriesofpoker

    @CaptainHomeless: Actually, no one person can be Gourmet Spud. "Gourmet Spud" is actually the collective nom de plume used by descendants of Edward de Vere, Francis Bacon, William Stanley and Mary Sidney to comment on prominent sports blogs.

    I had some beginner's luck of my own around that age. At least that's what Bev, the woman I lost my virginity to, meant by saying "That was the fastest any of you boys have ever finished."

    [Sigh] I miss her pouch.
