That’s cool, but rooting for Doyle’s kid!

Brunson out, Gags 5th in chips out of the final 9 heading into the final table on August 3rd. Has his work cut out for him with the chip leader having a huge stack. Rooting for him, he has done a lot for poker players in NJ, and a friend of mine who knew him said he was a good guy.

Would rather root for a fellow Scarlet Knight any day of the week versus Doyle's kid. That being said, great to see Michael at the final table!

That was a sick loss for Gagliano, who was a huge favorite with KQ vs KJ, but that's what makes poker so damn exciting at times - great run, though. And just a couple of hands later Mueller hits the rail as Saaskilahti slow played his kings perfectly then looked to be bluffing at the end and Mueller called and lost. But Feng having his aces cracked by Saas's 9s with runner-runner straight cards hitting has to be one of the worst beats I've ever seen. Brutal.

We have a champion, as Jumalon wins a pedestrian final hand (K6 over A7 with 2 6's hitting the board), but two hands earlier was the difference, as Jumalon had the lock flush (off a Q5 offsuit, but 4 spades hit) and Saaskilahti called nearly all his chips with just a pair of jacks - hero call gone bad. $10MM for 1st and $6MM is not a bad payday for 2nd.
