So, the Battle of Champions is on... I must say... Tuan Le is a punk. How lucky can this guy get?
Then, my jealousy subsided when I was trying to find out what everyone was gonna win. Throughout the entire broadcast, no one had been listed as winning any money. I thought it was possible there was no money involved, and well, that wasn't a lot of money that they dumped on the table. (BTW, Courtney's breasts didn't look that big in that dress... I'll post a topic somewhere else on this.) I looked online, and well, only first place was paid off... a measly $25,000 for first place! That's gotta be chump change to them.

25 Grand is 25 Grand, and personally, I like the way Tuan played (but I agree he did get very lucky).
And Courtney, def. NOT near as hot as Shana.

The equivalent of us playing a $.10 MTT and winning a buck.
Tuan did get lucky, but that's part of the game.

The thing I admire most about Tuan is his ability to play the big stack. It speaks volumes about a player when you are the one that knocked out every single player at the final table.
I don't, however, like how he played those Aces. He may as well have played them stamped on his forehead. He has been raising every pot he entered and showing down mediocre-to-terrible hands. Then when he gets the monster, he calls the big blind, then re-raises on the flop. If he had put in a standard raise then maybe thrown in a check/raise on that flop, he might have gotten all Elezra's money right there. Oh well....
And Courtney is a FRACTION of what Shana was. Her boobs are also a fraction of the size 8)

I thought the same thing when I was watching it. That just screamed "I've got a huge hand!"
I liked his aggressive play also and think he made some good reads to know when to slow down.
I also agree that Shana's much better looking than Courtney.
