How bout that finn beating the pro? He played solidly and Phil Gordon overplayed a couple of hands, thinking he could push the amateur around. Unfortunately, Yuha had some solid cards that hit. Losing those rattled him and he went on tilt. It was a good example of how ego can be incredibly destructive (as is true with trading, of course). Phil should not have called a lot of the trash he lead out on. It was inexplicable, really... Yuha shoulda been cracked by Kathy Liebert in the amateur round when he went all in with J-9 off suit (and she had Q-10 and called). It was just his day, I guess. Phil Hellmuth (who I really dislike) actually played pretty well, but again, he limped in with some pretty miserable stuff (especially considering the toughness of the competition) and hit just enough on the flop to get sucked in. He made some great near-moves, like when Jennifer Harmon had A-A and raised the minimum and he had Q-K. He put her on a big hand, but still called and then got hit by the flop. Still, with any luck at all he would've been a contenduh...
