Elky vs hellmuth was only 5 hands... first hand Elky OWNED hellmuth so bad and then Hellmuth caught a big cooler with QQ vs AA.

That was pretty one-sided, Elky even mocked Phil in the short interview before his next match. That was awesome.
Complete the cycle!

If this is it then I remember watching elky getting knocked out by Vanessa Rousso. The post report elky was so frustrated that he lost he walked off without commenting on the game.

hr on thepokerbay.org I opened a thread partly about how annoyed I was about the game elky vs vanessa rousso
That was so frustrating to watch, he completely outplayed her and she still won by getting lucky several times, but instead of acknowledging that she said some bs and made it sound like she had trapped and outplayed him.

I got to watch it on a saturaday morning around 9am(which i tripped out on) on NBC and I thought it was a very good play by her. She outsmarted him. She bluffed him at very good times and he fell for it. Anyways im still a fan of his, he just made some shitty choices.

Edit: I wonder what they said to each other in french during the game though.

Lol does anyone else find it very ironic that the op spelled it 'POKIR' more than once and about 5:40 into that video hellmuth is ranting about how they are such bad players they don't even know how to spell poker?

PS how do you spell poker wrong? It fucking says it all big on the software/website , hell everywhere. wtf seriously.

Btw, in the 2nd video (2/5) there is a bald guy behind elky wearing and "ELKY" shirt lol, who is that guy?

LOL @ negrenue dressed up like scotty
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Fuck Vanessa Rousso. I would hit her with pleasure because i think she is somewhat hot but she tilts me SO HARD when she is talking. There is something wrong with her voice and how she talks.

I always hated the American accent for women but it never tilted me like that :'(
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

I'm wondering how much strategy there actually is to heads up poker...I mean, so much relies on total luck...

Also Elky made a huge mistake against her. Going all in with 10, J when she had A,K.....


His play is extremely risky

Not really. Tournament structure was just bad imo ( blinds too big quickly )

Also JTs is a decent hand + he was the agressor. So he had equity + fear equity.

Most of the strategy occurs when the blinds are small when theres still tons of room for outplaying your opponent post-flop. The level of variance increases as the blinds go up until the point where you just want to get it in at the right time pre-flop and hope for 60%+
