    Incredible three-way all-in determines World Series of Poker final table

    https://www.yahoo.com/sports/incredi...163340292.html

    At the World Series of Poker’s Main Event, Thursday morning brought a case of going big and going home, as three players went all-in for a chance to play at the final table. Near-certainty evaporated to desperation and loss in just a matter of moments. Here’s how it all went down.
    The flop came 7-Jack-4, and that was enough to bounce Zhu, who couldn’t get the cards he needed for a flush or a straight. Labat had an outside chance at a flush, but that vanished with the turn card, a three of spades. (Labat couldn’t get a third King to beat Manion’s pair, of course, because the other two Kings were in Zhu’s hand.)
    So Zhu gets the unwanted notoriety of being the last player eliminated before cashing at the final table. Labat, meanwhile, goes into the final table with by far the lowest chip total, and Manion is the chip leader. The final table starts Thursday evening, and the effects of this incredible, gut-wrenching table will loom large.

    They ditched it a year or two ago. Guess the ratings weren’t paying off.

    I saw this on the front page of yahoo. Brutal setup of the cards, but a great setup for the final table. Hopefully it will draw some casual interest to the broadcast/game.

    As for the odds in the pointbook, yikes! That's some heavy juice.

    132% book on a 9 outcome event. Might just as well ask for betpoint donations.

    I read hellmuth was up to his usual whining and complaining and bought in another player at the table for next year bc he screwed him over then went to another event and won

    How that Labat guy made that call
    for 90% of his chips is beyond me.

    Two all Ins in front of him in such
    a critical situation.

    Guess he wasn’t strong enough of a player
    to just fold.

    This is the first final table I've watched since Jerry Yang won and it's pretty good so far. Other than the Ukranian nobody's tanking and the quality of play is pretty good. I'm rooting against Dyer b/c he doesn't give off "good for poker" vibes, but so far him and Cada seem to be a class above the rest.
