EPT2012 Grand Final

Just finished watching the live stream of the EPT2012 Grand Final final table.  The coverage was great and I learned quite a bit from the privilege of seeing the entire range of hands.  Never was able to figure out Bernard, though.  He played horribly. "Nit" doesn't begin to describe it.  He did manage to fold his way to 3rd place, about 400euro more than 8th.  So I guess he can always point to that as his high water mark, and I must admit that sum of money is anything but insignificant, especially at his age.  But still.......watching him make bad plays and sit there waiting for J's or better before he'd play post flop?  It was actually painful to witness.  He actually folded A8  3-handed on the turn after he had flopped top pair (A's) to a rather weak-looking double barrel from Cailly.

I must admit, however, that the reaction of the commentators was more than worth the pain.  Stapleton, especially was incredulous.  The poker pro guest commentators were only slightly less exasperated.

I guess it's true what they say,  "There's at least one donkey at every table".  Even the final table.
