I got to watch little bit of the final table action when it was down to 3 players. Jamie Gold was unstoppable...Always looked strong once he became the chipleader. Once Allen Cunningham was knocked out, Jamie kept on winning almost every pot. He really played well and deserved the win.

allen cunningham was the only player that i knew that finished at the final table. can someone explain who jamie gold is. hopefully not another moneymaker

Gold is even worst then a moneymaker. Gold is a former talent agent from hollywood. the guy really just got very lucky.

On the final Hand, it still amazes me. Jamie Gold made a raise (probably did this a lot) and PW makes a call and sees an over card on the flop. Gold puts him all-in with a lot of taunting and PW complies. Gold flips over Q9 for the top pair and the Turn/River are blanks. I think that PW looks bad for making that call. What do you guys think?
