I've called into work sick plenty of times. It looks hard but is pretty easy.

Just a question... in the start of this episode, they mentioned that Bill Blanda won a WPT title. What title did he win?

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!

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.

Also, what would a WSOP episode be without the obligatory ex-wife joke from Norman Chad.

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.

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.

The finest performance in this year's wsop...Eric Seidel's performance...it was mastery....let's see what ESPN does with it.I don't like him, something about him just rubs me he wrong way. But he did put on a clinic and I wouldn't want to be HU against him.
