WSOP ME - Final Table


Nick and I once again redraw

So Nick was able to do reasonably well with his redraw of our fantasy competition, but work prevented me from even thinking about the WSOP (thankfully, it didn't prevent me from cashing in one home game at work - 2nd - and taking 17th or so out of 51 at the Bad Beat Poker Club. I would have liked to finish stronger, but both games were some of the best short stacked poker I've ever played, and the BBPC bust out happened on the river when he caught one of 4 remaining outs).

Anyway, the WSOP ME doesn't wait for me and they've now played down to the final table. Only 9 players remain and the chip counts are all reasonably close. Nick is taking Lee Watkinson and John Kalmar and has once again thrown down the gauntlet. I'm hoping that at least one of us is able to pick the winner, since we will have almost half the final table on one of our teams. Watkinson is a good choice, and I probably would have gone with him if Nick hadn't picked first. Nonetheless, pros don't seem to do to well of late at the final table. Kalmar I don't know, but he does have one of the monster stacks.

I'm going to go with RainKhan and Raymond Rahme. Khan is a twoplustwo forum poster who is best known for a video of him multitabling 26 sit-n-go tournaments. I would really love to see a 2p2er win (again, actually, since Raymer was a 2p2 poster long before we knew him as WSOP Champ). Raymond Rahme I picked just because WSOP/ESPN/Bluff Magazine doesn't even have a picture of him in their player DB - not to mention they don't record a single cash for him. Now thats a guy I can relate to, so I have to root for him. He also has a pretty sizable stack at 16M, so hopefully he can make some good plays.
