Some decent play at the Foxwoods WPT final table
I have to say, I was a little skeptic when I turned on the WPT tonight for the final table at Foxwoods. There were no pros! At least none that anybody recognized. I thought, "great... a bunch of amateurs who got lucky by playing hands they probably shouldn't."
Well surpsise me! Congratulations to Victor Ramdin for finally winning a WPT event on his 30th try! He takes home $1.3 million for his efforts. Alex Jacob (a 21 yr. old Senior at Yale) came in 2nd and won a paltry $655k (!!). Alex was completely stoic through the entire final table. Victor mentinoed he couldn't pick up any tells on Alex, and after reading "Read 'em and Reap" I was especially impressed with Alex's control on his limbic responses. Way to go!
I'm curious to see what happens to these guys. Is $655k enough to cause Alex to go pro? Can Victor repeat his performance and make another final table in a major event? Only time will tell!
