Watching last night’s 2010 WSOP Main Event coverage on ESPN was pretty painful. I was trying to like Filippo Candio, as I think it’s good for the game on televised coverage when you see poker players wear their emotions on their sleeves, but man, Candio is too much of a donk as far as his actual play to really root for him.
That huge pot with Cheong was just hard to watch, as everyone has been in that spot with a dominating hand, huge pot, and a donkey willing to stack off when he absolutely has every reason to fold yet somehow doesn’t, and gets donkfish lucky to win a monster pot.
