Canadian Aces

Patrik raises all in with A2 3 handed and Doyle Brunson calls with 33. Doyle wins the hand and Patrik isn’t happy.

Patrik - How can you make that call?
Doyle - How could I make that call?! How could you make that bet? We’re playing poker not solitaire.

Doyle laughs.


VVP:
I’m not so sure that Doyle wants to go home and watch Rawhide reruns. He’s playing real fast.

He looks like he’s been kicked by his own horse.

Just a complete debacle for Doyle Brunson.
Note – I think this was VVP’s 1st debacle of the season.

VVP Quotes:
He’s happier than Jude Law at a nanny convention.

Bill is absolutely a whipping boy here tonight.

Nick the kid is going to have some story to tell at the next keg party.

VVP – He has to go back to the casino whe players cry and dreans die.

VVP – He wants to suck him in like cat hair.

VVP – I’ve got cheese in my refrigerator older than this kid.

VVP - It’s a fluff and puff show here.

VVP - You can fry an egg on David’s face

Matt Vasgergian needs to be off the air. I think he does Padre's games here in San Diego. Thanks God I don't watch baseball.

The NBC theme music was terrible.

I remember this being watchable TV last year.

Jennifer Tilly is so stupid. I hope she loses in the first round, so I don't have to see her anymore.
She finnally lost. Maybe this will become decent.

Phil Hellmuth - That's how I make my living, making great laydowns.
Chip Reese - You're a great player.
Chip busts phil eventually.
Phil mentions how he is the best heads up player after Chip congratualtes him on a good match.

Phil Hellmuth is my hero.

This week's episode was rife with interesting sayings from VVP--

1) "He just got sucked out like a hoover vacuum."
2) "He's going up and down like a pop tart."
3) "He's steaming like an overcooked dumpling."
4) "Minh is tilting like a 3-legged bar stool."

Some other interesting things to note about this episode --
1) Mike and VVP kept calling Don Zewin "The Temple of Doom." What the hell was that all about? Maybe I missed something early on about it...
2) The final table structure in these WPT events is atrocious. It's great that the players aren't allowed to make a deal, that they each have about 15BBs, and that the difference between 3rd and 1st is ~730K. Rolling dice for hundreds of thousands of dollars certainly makes for interesting TV, but somehow it doesn't seem fair to the players. Hopefully this new WPT players council will better the whole situation.
3) I was embarrased for Minh Ly. It was like he was trying to get his money in bad. Gavin Smith and Dan Harrington both played like heros but were unable to beat that luckbox. Too bad for them.
4) Courtney Friel still sucks.

Edit:
I caught some other good ones:

VVP - You’re right. Don looks like the Temple of Doom. (Not sure why VVP was calling him that)

Mike – Vince, If this guy wins 1 more hand he’s gonna say "Call me butter I’m on a roll!"

VVP – A lot of mind games going on right now.
Mike - Yeah, Including your own.

VVP – Look at Don’s face. What a sad sack.


Minh Ly outflops Gavin Smith:
VVP - That is just a violation.
Mike - You see Gavin take a drink.
VVP - That's not a drink, thats a guzzle.

VVP - Doyle Brunson has played more poker hands than this kids had hot meals

VVP - He’s gonna milk him like a Holstein.

VVP - Right now he’s getting whittled away like a little toothpick.

I just finished watching the new WPT Aruba event. Here's a little gem given by VVP regarding Freddy Deeb's shirt.

"He got that shirt at the Liberacci estate sale."

Does anyone else think that Courtney Friel is 1/10th the woman Shauna Hiatt is?

Edit:
VVP - "He's either fierce or psychotic, I don't know which it is."

VVP must have been off his game this week in Paris.

He did make fun of the frenchman becuase he complained after he won a hand.
