Hold on a minute, our player only got lucky on a hand right at the end, after we had been tremendously unlucky throughout the whole final table. Remember that we would have been out of sight if Woody hadn"t been knocked out on the FT by a T landing on the river, when he was holding AJ against AT, all-in pre. And then you somehow won about eight races to stay in the game when Maggie kept putting you in. You were ahead in all of them, but on average we should have won one or two.
Anyway, it was a tremendous final table and the Nobodies played some great tactical poker. It could have gone either way but we came through in the end. They did well to come back cos they were in a lot of trouble early on, but three of them doubled up just before the break to bring them back into it. On the FT, it seemed like we couldn"t put them away. Maggie had a huge stack and played hyper-aggressively, putting them in many times, but losing every race. Everything went against us until, just when it seemed all was lost, things finally turned our way.
A great match. Well played both teams.
You were only in such a great position because you guys won all the races in the earlier stages (and all the big pots)... and we needed some luck to get back in it and then luck turned against us in the end. But that"s poker so I"m not trying to minimalize your team"s win!! Indeed you guys had that very unlucky T river and we lost 2 players very early after 2 KK vs AA hands (one against your team)... But in the very end that was a Houdini escape from you guys, but of course that 1 hand was only one of many crucial ones!! But it sucks that we got so close and then didn"t win; I"m sure you would feel the same if it was the other way around.
But again: I"m not a sore loser (maybe it looked like that, but that was probably the disappointment talking) and many congratulations to your team for a great effort!! And not only today, but during the entire Cup!!
