Choron must of had notes on KingKobe that made the preflop and flop calls easier.

Not true! I had no notes on him. Just knew a lot about how he played from playing with him for ~ 3-4 hours before then. That and I had a good feel for where he was at. I violated him later on a couple of times as well. I played some really gross hands yesterday...Today should go well...

wooohooooo gooooooooo choron!!!


be my coach!!:)

yeah I've got his table up, should be sick!!

Wow man good job! I can't believe that many people are in a tourney with a buyin that big!

Good luck!!!

This is absolutely insane.

Just watched the table for a while. It really puts things in perspective watching these guys play at this level....then you start on your own table....A piddly $6SNG...

Anyhoo, great to watch! Great to see someone from the forum kicking butt and representin'.

WTG Grats on final table.. we're all watching apparently!

Ahhh cooler?

WTF is with that line? Also, I don't think calling that river is ever the right play.

This is cool . . .

Choron's out, don't like his play then again maybe he had a certain read on the guy:
