The LOST WSOP 2005 Episode?

[AceHigh_Pino]

There was an event that ESPN didn't show this year...which I was really surprised at.

It was the $10K PLO event...the very one that had online PLO specialist Rafi Amit endure a 10-minute penalty for dropping the F-bomb during HU play against Vinny Vinh!

His stack was pretty depleted by the time he sat back in, but once he got back, he seized command of the match (like he did b4 the profanity) and took down the bracelet and a huge first place prize.

Anyone else notice that?

JUST NEEDED TO PUT THIS IN TO MAKE SURE MY WORDING WAS CORRECT...DON'T WANT PHILLIP TO TAKE ME OUT OF CONTEXT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE...LOL.

Yikes, they didn't show this?

Didn't Todd Brunson and Eric Seidel final table the event too?

PLO is great to watch....

Also, i wouldn't call his stack "almost depleted"...I think he still had like a 5-1 chip lead...lol

also didnt show my favorite event to watch, the 2005 razz main event. i think they had to drop the shows that had the lowest rating to make wave for the curcuit events

OWNED...better luck next time Phil...but at least you ALMOST had it right. Better luck next thread.

"Such a penalty would normally not be newsworthy, but when it takes place with only two players remaining in the tournament (with huge prize money and a gold bracelet at stake, no less) the incident defined one of the most exciting tournaments of the year. Amit, who enjoyed a 5 to 1 chip lead at the time and was within striking distance of finally putting his opponent away, was given a penalty at the worst possible time. For the next 10 minutes the dealer dealt out hands, and Amit lost 24,000 in chips per round. For Amit and his packed gallery of supporters, it was torture to watch. Ten minutes seemed like ten hours. Vinny Vinh, who had been down to his last 120,000 when the penalty was declared, took the chips like fresh oxygen and was back up to 330,000 when Amit finally got to sit back down at the table."

-- From CardPlayer

Hmmmm...

Also from Cardplayer:

"At the beginning of Rafi Amit's 10-minute penalty, the approximate chip counts were as follows:

Rafi Amit - $1,555,000
Vinny Vinh - $95,000

At the end of the ten-minute penalty, the chip counts have changed quite a bit:

Rafi Amit - $1,379,000
Vinny Vinh - $286,000"

Thats like 4.8-1 isn't it?

de·plete ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d-plt)
tr.v. de·plet·ed, de·plet·ing, de·pletes

de·pleta·ble adj.
Synonyms: deplete, drain, exhaust, impoverish, enervate
These verbs all mean to weaken severely by removing something essential. Deplete refers to using up gradually and only hints at harmful consequences:

Losing $176k in 10 minutes after being forced to sit out for a stupid penalty applies to this very definition. Dont get confused with the wording I used in my original thread...I didnt say his stack "disappeared" or "vanished" -- I simply used a word to describe what the true definition was in relation to his stack shrinking (aka getting smaller)...

We done yet? Or you got more to throw at me?

I can go all night...ask SHIP's mother.

Ouch, Pino broke out his dictionary... I think we may have to call the hospital to resuscitate Phil at this point. OWNED!

LOL...when you bust out STUP-ology, its just how it is.

Look, i wouldn't really call myself "owned"

In my mind, being "almost depleted" has such a different meaning to "deplete" that i don't know why your giving me the meaning of deplete.

Yes, losing 176K in 10mins applies to your definition. But, in my mind, still having a 4.8-1 chip lead, does not mean his stack is "almost depleted"

Where do you get off saying "almost depleted"? I think my word is a tad different than what you quote me as saying bro. "Pretty" depleted was simply describing how his stack was dwindling away and he could do nothing about it. You got n e thing else? I still got all night. LOL.
