Anyone know if there is any delay in the telecast for this? I am such a cynic I think Van Hoof must have some kind of micro ear piece device placed in his ear canal, because I am not sure I have seen someone play so flawlessly before, hard to believe he has the right move every hand. WSOP do bug checks during the final table? hahaha

15 minute delay usually, every year it seems like someone plays better than humanly possible in some sport, just means he is ahead of people.

Yeah, he was at least, of course as soon as I said this Jacobson runs him off two hands and he makes a bad call against Stephensen.

At this point can go anyway, Jacobson looks good, I have liked him all day, wish I had of put some money on him when he was short stacked.

Tonking basically threw it in in the end, was dead for a couple of hours, talk about a surly guy too lol

The final table ESPN stream is delayed 30 minutes I believe.

Well I really wish I made that bet now, Jacobson seemed to just have an incredibly consistent state of mind and being throughout the whole final table, incredible composure, while it was interesting to see Van Hoof appear to crumble, was full of nothing but confidence on the first day, total control then totally the opposite demeanour on day two. Stephensen played a decent game but at no stage ever looked aggressive enough, awesome pay check for him though, by just hanging around and coming out on top of the right showdowns.

Magician said it was the single greatest performance at a final table he had ever seen or heard of since the field grew past 100 peeps.

Evidentially he didnt see Jamie Gold run over everyone and make a straight flush draw laydown with good odds a couple years ago.

Or Moneymaker grow a horseshoe out of his ass that one year.

I was just so impressed by his presence at the table, if you can maintain yourself like this and clarity of mind, no matter what is going on, you have won half the battle, along with helping your awareness of what others are doing. Interesting the mention of how some of these guys, including Jacobson practising yoga and mediation, he really put that on display.
