-up finalist Vanessa Rousso goes against Shaun Deeb at the table for eighth bracelet winner Phil Ivey targets Justin Bonham oh sweet winner Blum is not used to playing against opponents as loud as him three-time bracelet winner Mike La Boca Matusow on table six Jonny world Hennigan looks to advance against Sam Simon executive Simpsons producer Barry Greenstein hopes his eighth straight first-round win turns into a victory in the second round over the angry JonBenet at the main table.

Two players who need little introduction. Antonio Esfandiari and Jonathan Duhamel Antonio. You face Jonathan in this format before. Are you the type of person who remembers matches or is this ladle revenge revenge have you made a lot of money over the last year when it comes to this, does money mean anything to you or are you just thinking about the title? I have no idea what first places I just want to punish Jonathan to get him to the next round, so I guess that would be the answer for both of us. How about all of the above?

Hi Jonathan, you've had a lot of success in the last 12 months, how? stopping a player who is performing so well, I think, in fact, a lot, I mean, he made 18 million last summer, so that's enough, you have to share a little with others, so you want to reinvent yourself, that's not going to happen, but what did you learn? about him in 2011 that can help you in this match. I mean, he was a pretty good player, obviously, so I've got to bring my A game, have a little luck and it'll probably happen, well, good luck to everyone. air and with that we greet Matt Vasgersian without going to run with you for the start of the round of 32 friendly and pleasant poker players at the main table plan the balls around the money, but you have the feeling, Olli, that there is a little else on The Line here tonight, yes, first impressions of the rematch are very harsh in poker.

Both players will expect the other to take similar approaches to those they took in their last meeting, but it goes without saying that each will also do their best not to. falling into any old predictable pattern the key to creativity here Jack deuce for Antonio and he will race to 1,400 is creative enough Jack deuce is not your favorite cut of the deck but the button is your favorite position of course Jonathan calls with ace 4 and the flop Jack King a pair of jacks for Antonio fast Jonathan's hut there is no reason for Antonio to check in position with a medium pair difficult to get a pair bets 1700 and Jonathan folds his hand for texture not so hot need to get the fan club involved I guess it's a phil ivey to your left with justin Bonomo playing to the right and filling with the right king suit to put it in, he raised the king seven for justin, who will call, believe it or not, IV cashed only once in this event, flop is ten, Trey five.

He is one step away from here and when in the first pot the effort will not hurt you, $25,000 and an invitation allows you to enter this tournament and here, in the second round, you start with fifty thousand and chips with blinds of three and six hundred , which gives players room for early maneuver No Limit Texas Hold'em is what they are playing three different denominations of chips on the table, the largest being the green one and the yellow one which is worth a thousand, half of the groups of clubs and spades are the newcomers of the returnees, none more decorated than Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Ivey, yes, but those two will have more and more company in the coming years from our rookies who may not have as many stripes yet, but let's not forget that both Antonio and those who were once newcomers to the game, well, it's hard to remember that time, man, but you can remember Phil Ivey, around the Chris Moneymaker era, with those basketball jerseys, his twos pocket for Ivy, what's in arrays nine and seven for Justin Hillary, heck, look, you'll see, I'd be giving him a hard look down looking to take control Phil makes the call and flops eight six eight open straight draw for Justin now things could certainly be worse he's not going to give up the pot although certainly not with that straight draw your bets four thousand that's forty percent of the pot IV calls as he should with that table paired and the turn brings a Pair of nines for Bonomo also puts up a third spade, which doesn't look like it's going to worry Justin at all now that he's actually raised two. nines and eights has the best hand, you can't fall now that it's eleven fives for the texture they have become much uglier for the deuces and the filling knocks him down so justin Bonomo takes a big pot early he is not a hand specialist on hand a lot of people three IV beds out of position with nine seven you're welcome Isaac no nothing I have to make a move I know I'm talking to them right now they're going something's up I like them yes Tony you're talking about one of Jonathan's local places in Canada the playground suited Jack 7 Jonathan was raised as Queen Jack for Antonio, yes he is allowed to raise me every time, how do you feel about that?

Would you take it personally if I lost? You know, the Z's seem relaxed or what are you talking about? the dealer oh anyway it's about to happen Antonio calls flop is king king AIDS Club draw for Jonathan is not an ugly table for him as you see Antonio check 2800 in the middle but Jonathan Benton is about the half of that pretty standard figure Oh Antonio makes the call which is interesting now the stronger players are not afraid to flop out of position to test the opponent's willingness to fire a second shot both players have matched their jack on the turn check check Antonio's queen kicker gives them the best hand that jack.

It was actually a bad card for Amell, but he checked in position on the turn, quite disciplined. River reduces hearts. Antonio better 3300 gets a quick call and it's Antonio who takes the pot, yeah you see those smiles on Mel's face, they're not much. could have done it San Antonio decided to float on the flop. I received the news that Antonio won the hand. Perfect turn and river for his hobby. Life is good for the magician. More from Caesars Palace Las Vegas. Next Kristopher moment. Daniel Cates Kyle Julie Scott Seiver Vanessa. Rousso Sandeep Justin passive Oh go bloom like a mouth Madison John Hennigan Sam Simon barry greenstein jumbo nut antonio esfandiari jonathan do it it's true that second chances don't come around very often in poker, but tonight the three-time bracelet winner Antonio Esfandiari has a chance at redemption against 2010 main event champion Jonathan Duhamel in 2011.

Amell eliminated his fondari in the second round on his way to the semi-final. These two guys, all of these, you know, were friendly in the felt, but listening to notices, this is all business, absolutely. Antonio certainly has it. I went back and watched the game film from that last game. He is an incredibly competitive poker player. They both played in the big $1,000,000 tournament for a drop. They played high stakes games. They played tournaments. They played face to face. They really don't lack anything. in his Arsenal, Antonio is a little more sociable, seems a little more relaxed, Amell, a little more intense, this is really a Clash of the Titans, but I think that with drive and confidence in his corner, Antonio will end this year blind still in 3 and 600.

A chip lead of approximately 15,000 for Antonio Abdul Amell with bullets, he will try to keep his heart in his chest here. What's in a run to 1,400 is no different than two other cards he would be playing. Jack help Antonio, don't beg. a 3 bits here instead, get a call, double merge check, they're still there buddy, don't worry, King for Queen on the flop, a pair of hearts, fresh air for Antonio, that doesn't seem like it I'm going to stop him. bet 1600 just a little attempt to steal the pot here the demon Mel will run 250 300 hope that Antonio has a king or queen here and is willing to continue, but this is also a product of the texture of the board, right, you have hearts out there.

The king and queen also produce straight draws and Antonio stone folds called Bluff, yes, and I'm not quite sure that's the case. Antonio and Jonathan are almost even again in this match, against Phil Ivey and Justin Bonham. Oh, it would be hard. Imagine a year or maybe a two-week stretch as good as the two weeks Phil Ivey had during the 2012 World Series of Poker when he made five final tables in 12 days. It's pretty incredible. Now keep in mind that to accomplish that feat you must In fact, I was able to buy into two subsequent events while he was sitting at the final table.

Two previous events. I don't mind missing the first few hours of play, just more real poker. Multitask. Yes Hellmuth Ian's approach. Oh, even if you're late, you made it. The flop is ace. Trey six pair of clubs Ivey was in bad shape heading into the flop here, but the texture of the board is such that he can escape and, boy, that's a quick disaster, Bonomo drags that pot, although that's probably something he expects to do a lot against Phil. Ivey, to be completely honest, I think I lost the favorite against Bolivia in this format. Ivy is one of the best players in the world, but this is a no-limit heads-up, so I had the home field advantage here.

I like my chances, so Justin thinks. he has an advantage here, the home team has a chip advantage, by the way, but that's really the case, does he have an advantage? You know, if the advantage is determined by who has more head-to-head experience, Justin has certainly played a dizzying role. amount of that format, but as we both know, there's a lot more to the match than just who has more experience, both players with suited hands here on the flop and a pair of eights for Justin, a club tie, however, for Phil, something to work with in both. feats Phil quickly checks Justin bets 2200 no reason to check that board with middle pair and Ivey calls the turn a two of spades that's not going to stop Justin as you watch Ivey check for the second time 7600 in the pot and Justin bets 6000 that is very big bet designed to get a draw as IV from his hand to an all-in elsewhere Chris Morman on the left about to find out that he has been eliminated at the hands of Daniel, the jungle man Cates is the first to advance to the round of 16 Casino Royale attractions again Casino Royale needs to change the collar a little Dress for success Kate already has money welcome back to Caesars Palace Las Vegas for the second round of the

championship

antonio esfandiari at our main table tonight and by virtue of his 2012 rightly 2012 is an incredible year for me, obviously the one-drop was the moment that really took it to a level five Jack five is Antonio's tonight or what a triple Being there at the final table and winning it was practically one of the best experiences of my life, it was just a very nice touch in my poetry.

I've known Antonio for a long time, he's generally a great joke, but that night he was particularly excited, how do you win the main event? I didn't win the main event, lucky you, you just did it, huh? How many players whenever you want? Seven thousand three. I will do it and change it. You don't know the exact number 19. I knew you would know what he broke. Jonathan. ran to 1700 with his king 9 of clubs almost felt like an honest question from Antonio, they are looking for advice and it's just that Jack's 7 called and the flop deuce Jack 6 of pair of jacks for Antonio, he bets 2,100, that's a really dry board where Antonio could probably check and bed Jonathan, but instead Duomo folds, but notice how Antonio leads with the top hair this time after being lifted out of the air when he made this move last time, in addition to the popularity of poker. has grown so much, from the prize pools and the boom.

I have been a great beneficiary of this great score from Antonio which was good for eighteen point three million dhoom. Additionally, he won the 2010 main event with eight point nine in his bankroll. A lifetime of tournament winnings. I think those guys pay to check that they have to get it for free by checking that Antonio doesn't exactly have much wrapped up in footwear and those are designer sandals Antonio with about a ten thousand chip lead here, a slight Queen Trey lead here in this hand , he measures a run to eighteen hundred jack seven for Jonathan, who flips a 3600 call in the middle heading to the flop that comes out King five six isn't quite what theseplayers had in mind with those holdings a Johnathan check 2000 tonio bet 2000 just looking to win the pot Owen making elle is making a play here with the check up is a good board to try to accomplish this unless Antonio has a king, even if you get called, you could shoot another barrel on the turn here and probably pick it up. up Jonathan takes the pot, they're almost even again with Phil Ivey and Justin Bonomo is down oh who has a near true one chip lead in this match and pockets sixes here in the race to 1600 oh and this isn't it It does not bode well for the fund.

Oh, alive, with eight, he's behind Moen and Bonomo has put Ivey on everything for a quick call from Phil, here we go. Justin is in horrendous shape here, there aren't many people supporting me. I only have one. watch, I'm mourning you, but who counts 8k nine, you can breathe a little easier, you can even freeze the pot here on the turn, unless Justin gets help and has the pot frozen on the turn. Jack clubs, the river is debatable. Phil Ivey doubles up and takes the lead. You know, the problem with Bono Moe's game is that IVs probably don't fold with any pair better than sixes and if he does. is not matched and crushing you, he will have at least two overs as an ace king and will be a very small dog, so the tables have turned almost exactly IV with a better than two to one ship advantage now on Justin's bottom, oh, I'll see if he can recover from that hasty attempt to kill Ace 9 for Ivey here, he's up to 2000 down.

Oh, he still has a lot of room to play, he has 40 big blinds, yes, with queen 10 and the flop is called, it brings four, five deuces and an inside straight draw. for Phil, the passive passes quickly. Ivey bets 2500. Justin makes the call. He has an idea. a nine thousand wheel there, it looks like he's going to try to bluff this seven thousand bet, which is a good sized bet, but Justin is trying to represent a straight, which of course is what Phil has to make it difficult to win . Phil calls and gets paid. Ivey takes the pot, which was just bad timing on Justin Bonomo's part.

There Phil Ivey extends his lead by seeking a birth of around 2:16 for the first time in five years. The

2013

National Heads-Up Poker Championship is presented by The WSOP com returns to Caesars Palace Las Vegas for the round of 32 in the clubs and spades categories. Daniel case has already advanced on seven tables still in action, including antonio esfandiari and jonathan duomo and chong'er with nine deuces, why not, in a race to 1800. 4 years for Jonathan if Antonio is willing to hit 9 deuces in the button I can't think of two cards that I wouldn't draw Jonathan calls and flops 5 6 King a pair of hearts neither player connects with the board through Mill Checks it's not the first time these two have been in this situation antoniou bet 2002 Amell got another check-raise playing his arsenal oh and he calls this time he's just going to look at Antonio up turn pairs of kings on the board faith I was good on the flop okay here Doolittle checks gut check time from Antonio and bet 4400, that's harder than it seems.

Oh, and if you think betting 9 high is tough, he's looking for MLS to call with a spore and keep his self read in the river to the 7 of diamonds. There are 16400 in the middle. Amel is begging Antonio to pass behind and if Antonio had shot another barrel, he could have won that pot. It's Jonathan Duhamel who wins the pot with an ace high for Phil Ivey and Justin Bonomo. two-to-one ship advantage for Phil the ace Jack fits here for Justin that's a foot in a high ace Queen 400 and bill raises to 5600 is willing to ruff with two fixes, it sure felt like that Ivy's quick call and that long face Justin Bona cuts for good reason two sixes in two a chase jack in ace Queen what guy has to flop six seven train no spades Justin needs a Japanese you hear that's the bell tolling in the background turns into a native club and that makes things worse for Justin Jack from Clovers is no longer good he has two outs he wants to stay alive now he can do it Ivy will go to the round of 16 Justin goes home bottle didn't take a big pot approach to the match it just didn't work out and his movie continues, now we talk to one of his poker mentors barry greenstein seems trying to join ivy in the round of 16 Barry needs his aces to resist Jean Monnet's spores Monette's ace only has one leg The queen's flop is eight queen seven without looking at her back fours in hand.

Oh, couldn't you know that Julie is with Phil Ivey and Justin Bonomo in 2006? You were quoted as saying that the last people you'd want to face in hand-to-hand combat would be Phil Ivey. You didn't think you'd be able to get the upper hand on him. Do you think you could have that today? um to be honest yeah I thought I had a little bit of an advantage going in I mean Phil is one of the best players in the world but I'm kind of a heads up specialist so it's like I have home field advantage in reference to Justin.

What did you think and know about his arrival? a lot, I know it's been very successful, you know I'm playing poker, I know it's good in every type of format, look at the situation, so you know I was a little bit cautious going into the match and you know there were a couple of hands that came up that were you know, at 280 I had two sixes, I had a jack projection, there's really not much else, well, we hope to see you around the 16th and Justin, thank you very much. A second-best hand won't be good enough for Shaun Deeb will advance out of the second round former heads-up finalist Vanessa Rousso with an eighth-highest rate sending Dean home and her heads-up debut guests Rousseau the money , let's talk about it this round apparently it's always frozen, never fresh.

Poker's Twitterverse gave us some insights and background on this match. If you want, Debo is a good follower. He looks like he made it to his second round matchup against Vanessa. He's a little sleep deprived. The poker life in 140 characters or less. Deeb may add be the. inspiration for the longest hashtag in the history of her list of achievements OMG Vanessa there is no rest for Vanessa she is out of the round of 16 shaun deeb on his way to the nearest bed welcome back to Las Vegas and the national championship of heads-up poker four players have already moved on to the round of 16 for the table still in action Cates Rousso IV and Greenstein have advanced to check-in now in one of those matches still in progress Viktor Blum and Mike la boca Matusow a card on Breughel's turn he made it straight for Blum but he also flushed with Matta so the mouth is in the money money Blom was drying up when the money came in on the turn Mike can now exhale he is in the money and out of the crosshairs of the gloms and meanwhile a new table features Kyle Julius on the left Scott Seiver on the right and Scott has almost 84,000 of the 100,000 and the chips in play here suited him better for King and steeper butch Julius all-in for diamonds to Scott Seiver taking away the best going to the flop it's going to be like spades it's going to be like a seven with diamonds uh no, I want five five days, all spades, I can cut it with a continuous flush.

I can get excited cutting any special requests Scott here's the flop Trey Trey eight one diamond two spades I really needed that time to be a spade please I just want to hit diamonds seven one diamond you were right about something yeah I definitely do this now, I wouldn't doubt it, yes, it's been working so pure, someone has, someone has over here, the diamond goes to the round. of 16 is called that, eh, yeah, I mean, sometimes you just run so pure that it doesn't stop, it must be nice to get back to Antonio Esfandiari and Jonathan Duhamel, these two almost even at this point in the match.

Jonathan hits jack five and puts in a 3,200-man raise with the blinds of 1816 Queen 10 for Antonio and he calls. We haven't seen any preflop three bets in this match so far. The flop is six, eight, nine, making a Miss for both guys. Antonio passes, he won't try to go out and choose. up the pot with the ace on the board Jonathan will actually bet 3200 and then it's your fault, I think Nidhi against that is unreal what happened today I didn't prepare my protein drink in the morning or something, Nidhi, yes, that hurts a lot Well, Antonio fights.

Mike Boca is already thinking about the championship, with two games less than four to go, that tweet does not come with a money back guarantee. One of the most dangerous things to do right now is to think too far ahead of a player you won't want. face it right there, good Mr. Scott Seiver, the Caesars Palace poker room hosting the

2013

National Heads-up Poker Championship inside the talented Sam Simon, all in and behind cash player John Hennigan, a double here would still leave to Simon in bad condition. ace ten six a pair of sixes for Hennigan comes in you had the best hand preflop best hand on the flop Jack turns a jack of diamonds Simon trades a queen for a king as the lead and bids in the river six of spades and that means John Hennigan is advancing towards the money and in the round of 16 he is arriving quite calmly.

I haven't seen him at a top table yet, but his next matchup could earn him a spot there; squeezes him and Ivy. Sam now joins Jennifer Tilly and Phil. Laak on the rail lines up to 12 and 2,400 now between antonio esfandiari and jonathan duomo last match in the room just one level from our highest line level of 1500 3000 Jack five for Jonathan, he will call limping, he will give these stacks more later game -flop relative to pot size and antonio with king nine checks and flop two eight five middle pair for Jonathan both players actually staring at each other trying to pick up something in reaction to the flop Antonia makes a bet 4100 Jonathan calls 13,000 now and Antonio pairs his nine not a bad card to take advantage of when you were bluffing now he has top pair bet 8400 about two thirds of the pot Jonathan folds San Antonio increases his chip lead for Jonathan's Discipline poll, they are launching the That was the middle pair and they're sending the old peanut gallery into a frenzy.

They are working in unison. Jonathan says: where is the support from my fans in Montreal? The lady found ER and suta with diamonds. Jack deuce's pacing has slowed down a bit in this. The game is also sure to be a race here to 5,000 connectors for Jonathan, he will make the call. Each player starts with 50,000 and the hundred thousand chips on the table add up to ten percent of that in the middle and the Jack 7h flop does not. diamonds but a pair of jacks for his Fondy re this is an interesting flop, ml has the straight draw and the club draw he will pass to Antonio who checks behind.

I like that he doesn't want to be moved. of that jack by triggering a bet and check-raising with six of diamonds in a straight two-way tie now for Jonathan with Antonio having checked on the flop and Jonathan with so many leads that he feels comfortable taking 4400 to Antonio, he calls and Jonathan is in control of the betting, so even if he misses, he can try to bluff at the end, the river pairs aces on the board. Jonathan probably doesn't have Antonio with an ace. I remember that although Antonio raised before the flop, he checked back on the flop and then simply called. on the turn it will feel like some sort of club tie or maybe a jack.

Jonathan bets 7600. Make a Mel has air. You think he looks comfortable. Then he and that bad size will seem very valuable to you. For Antonio, this is not an easy call with the jack and no kicker Oh Knight and Antonio hits a good jack, leaving Jonathan with just over 21,000 of the 100,000 on the line. Know? He could have been betting on a wide range of hands there, an eighth, a jack better or even a flush. On the flop, you look very comfortable. Good decision by Antonio. I felt like there were more hands he would lose. He won long before this match began.

Antonio tweeted that he wanted revenge on Jonathan Duhamel, as he has done so many times in the last 12 months. Antonio is getting his wish Jonathan and I had a great match a couple of years ago King two suited for Antonio ace Queen suited for Java you can see the shine in Oh Antonio has gone from a flush draw to a pair fall , so remember I made a high flush king and he made a high flush ace, that was a hand that hurt me and I still remember the 10 of diamonds and John. I'm looking forward to revenge today.

Antonio needs to be patient here even though Duhamel has less than 10. big blinds five minutes than 115 three Antonio asks how much time he has left between now and the next level of blinds, which will cause Dua Mel to accumulate even fewer jacks sixes for Jonathan , I may not go that far oh, we sweat together, huh, it's more fun that way. oh, not good, given Mel's advance, his king for four. Antonia Antonio wouldn't mind doing all that, but matching is more difficult, yes, I call, he has paid me. I see Duhamel is displeased with that call for a three-to-two preflop favorite here. just one king ball just one king ball on the flop Jonathan makes a mouse tournament life on the line with Jack six I'll learn to fold man what you gotta learn to fold there yeah how am I going to fold on that flop eight eight? nine is not much help for Jonathan nothing Camilla River king is comingon the river come on baby King ball Jonathan looks for a jack of six oubli good base six on a river and now the ten is in play he picked up four more outs at six on the river to even Jonathan Duhamel is doubled order good hit on the river to save his skin Tyrell well how much does Jonathan have?

The due amount paid him and it turned out that a six on the river keeps him alive and if Antonio gets revenge you will have to wait a little longer welcome back to the national heads-up poker championship at Caesar's Palace there are some undeniable truths in poker , but one right now is that Scott Seiver is winning two million on the PC a high roller is now making his decisions in this event he advances to the round of 16 over Kyle Julius others advance Daniel Kate Vanessa Rousso barry greenstein Mike Matusow John Hennigan remains a table and it is that of the middle antonio esfandiari and jonathan in the round of 16 in spades and clubs it would have been complete if amel had not gotten an outside ten in his last hand antonio with approximately a three to two chip advantage jonathan with king ten The good news is that Antonio still has an advantage.

The bad news is that the advantage is not that significant with the blinds where they are forty-eight hundred, they almost put Antonio's jacket up, it's 20 for a minute and he asks to stop the flop nine nine. six six two spades over there Antonio checks to make ml we'll see if he triggers the continuation bet, Jonathan checks. I'm a little surprised that a seven of hearts comes up. Both players get ladder draws. The conventional wisdom is to simply bet in position on that flop, but now Antonio checks with the straight draw. They can claim the pot, they will just ruin it.

I think Duval was a little timid since the stacks were high and Tonio took the opportunity to make the blinds here up to 1,500 and 3,000 is the final level, so what's happening, look, there's no winner now. Better than a two to one chip advantage for Antonio, to give you an idea of ​​how big these blinds are, if both players had 50,000 right now, they would have about 17 big blind connectors for his Fondy when he calls, oh, we might start to see a little more limping at this point in the match preflop if they hope to have any play after the flop make checks for a million with seven four flop is eight six seven both players get a pair of sevens for Jonathan the top pair and a straight draw for Antonio, yes, tool Mills had the bad end of a straight draw to call his middle pair, checks for Antonio, bets 4200, likes his hand, so come on, make a quick call from Mel, all-in, by Antoni, oh, here we go, oh. oh you're right it's the five of us it's not good I'm not sorry about this thank you sir the French-Canadian translation of oh is five outs for me if you're not sorry come on it's fair that you won last time I could win this time up to 180 million last summer.

Come on, what are the main events. You're right. Touche, you speak French. Yes, that's great. There's the turn. Jack Spades doesn't help Jonathan. Yeah, I don't feel the same. Five outs. Good game, sir. Say that yet, okay, kill me, it won't be over until it's over, there was a joke somewhere about the French surrendering after he saw the turn card, but I wait until the match is over, happy birthday dad, another gift from birthday for Antonio's father while his son advances to the round of 16 and Tonio gets Daniel Kate's next not easy task there, as heads-up is an old-school Kate specialty times four, meanwhile, on the spade side of the group, let's check with Julie Jonathan, it's something like that.

It seems that the blinds also increased today the cards did not turn out well for you. Would you have done something different? Yeah, maybe last time I'm not sure. I mean, it was a difficult decision for me. I had no choice. I mean. In the end the cards were dead, the blinds were high, but Antonio played perfect, you played very well, so it was a very difficult match. I mean, I beat him the last time he beat me this time, so I guess we have to change the match at some point. Point Antonio, how does revenge feel?

It feels very good. I must say it's hard to cry. I mean, I really feel like I got run over at the beginning of the round and then when the blinds went up I caught a couple of hands. And you know, in the end it was pretty much a game of chance and I actually think I had to do what I had to do because it's very hard to fall, be prepared, so I managed my way in the end, but we're going to be the following. for you like Daniel Cates, your thoughts on him, uh, yeah, he's a super online magician, so I just have to be ready to bet.

You know, I have to show him that the old veteran pros can ship it like the little young wizards of the Internet. thank you gentlemen your glasses one by one full of wind there are not many people out there for me I only have one watch they will take it personally I don't feel lucky I have to learn to fold come on honey with John and Julie Donaldson Matt Vasgersian saying see you later from Caesars Palace Las Vegas, you've been watching the national heads-up poker championship presented by the WSOP quietly. I really wanted to win the match against Jonathan today just because he beat me on the Savannah computers.

Very early on in the big lead, at one point I had a three-to-one ship, you know, and when the blinds got really high, I caught a couple of hands at key moments last time when I was very short stacked, at that moment the dividers were high. all my options were kind of bad having was bad calling is bad and everything was bad too so I felt like I had no idea what six seven eight was and I had eight nine in my hand so I had a situation that's like the nuts and I thought when you're not sure it might be stupid to go all in with bonus, unfortunately for him flop a pair didn't work because it's an ace, yeah I mean they'd get their revenge and ours on their heads for sure - we played
