SuperJon 175 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 is this the same Gracz that is known as the grinder? didn't he win a wpt title, or come in second? Link to post Share on other sites
alf13 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 is this the same Gracz that is known as the grinder? didn't he win a wpt title, or come in second?No...the Grinder is Mizrachi...but Gracz did win a WPT limit Holdem event. Link to post Share on other sites

zimmer4141 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Just a question... in the start of this episode, they mentioned that Bill Blanda won a WPT title. What title did he win? Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierAlum 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Just a question... in the start of this episode, they mentioned that Bill Blanda won a WPT title. What title did he win?I was wondering the same thing. Link to post Share on other sites

What title did he win?I was wondering the same thing.I noticed that too. To the best of my recollection I don't think he has won one let alone been at a WPT final table.

zimmer4141 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 According to Hendon Mob DB, they say he won a $1000 limit holdem event before the 2004 Borgata Open. I googled him first, and I was shocked when I saw only Bill Blanda... 1st place, 2004 Borgata Open, $66,000. I guess they consider those WPT championships. Man, if those counted, the Bellagio Championship field would triple next year! Link to post Share on other sites
aadams_22 3 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm just glad that I know what Perry Friedman looks like. Anyone familiar with Full Tilt Poker has most likely seen Perry play on there (as he is one of the main designers for the site), but his avatar makes him look like Frankenstein.

aadams_22 3 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Also, what would a WSOP episode be without the obligatory ex-wife joke from Norman Chad. Link to post Share on other sites
greatwhite 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 To be honest I thought his play going all in with middle pair was kind of bad. The other player knows Gracz is agressive and will probablly call him with top pair. However, there were very few hands Law could of called Gracz with without having him beat.On side note- I'm suprised Perry is still alive after doing that crap at his final table.

He's not like that when he plays on Full Tilt though. Link to post Share on other sites

Sushiman 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Anyone know how that Sexton kid got so shortstacked? They showed the one hand where he doubled up to a very decent stack with his boat aginst Machina's 85o bluff and then the next time you see him he is all in preflop with K9 with no chips.

Guest Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 dunno but they were good calls, he was calling out bluffs heads up at the PPM Limit tho Link to post Share on other sites
brian67 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 You can't fault someone for being a dog to 99 with 88 in a pre-flop all in situation in a heads up match. Criticizing Seidel there is just unrealistic. Link to post Share on other sites
