No clue. I figured they had to have editted out a few hands but really no clue. Really did like this show, though.

Hey while I am asking questions here does anyone know why Don Cheadle's role in Oceans Eleven is uncredited? Seems like a big role to be uncredited.

I swear that I live on West Coast and haven't seen any spoilers, so I hope to get in on the poll. Eliminated first: Schwimmer Winner: Cheatle Prediction: Affleck will be the most entertaining (comments, wild betting) 'squeek'

well in a short table like this one, luck plays a bigger part (World Poker Tour final tables have 6 players, The World Series of Poker and most other major tournaments have 9 person final tables...In just a 5-person table, a lucky streak helps a person in the long run because you have a better chance to do major damage to a better percentage of players-you get into a 3 person hand with 5 players, the winner does damage to half his opponents, while in a 9 person table, it's only a quarter of the opponents)

Kona, I've been deliberately keeping spoilers to myself (as I suspect others have as well) in the hopes that more people would join Putter's game. Cancunkid, I found Don Cheadle in the credits when I looked up the movie several places....he was "The Bomber" Basher Tarr, correct? I don't have the movie on DVD to see if he shows up there but it could be that if they list in order of appearance (as one place did) he is way at the end.

Ok, I loved this - I watch all the poker tournaments - I am an avid poker player myself. I have been playing Texas Hold-em since I was (well for about 34 years) - so since I was very very young LOL. The guy who won was an idiotic player, he was just very very lucky. His skill of playing should have landed him out first. Ben Affleck seemed to be the best player at the table. That is just my opinion. I look forward to next week. I will join Putter's game, but I was too late for last night.

ESPN has been showing a big Poker Tournament a lot and is a real popular show.

Garson got very lucky with the hand with Schwimmer! As for Affleck, he looks like one serious poker player who really didn't want to socialize or chat , just wanted to win.

I have to say I loved it when Willie was calling Ben names, don't remember exactly what it was girly man or something but the look on Ben's face was priceless. Now that is entertaining poker playing!

I guess I was hoping for a little more conversation between the celebrities and a lot less announcing that was going on like it was the Super Bowl or something. I came on halfway through the show, and it really couldn't keep my attention. Ben sure was purty to look at though! I was kinda disappointed in it.

I wanted to like it I really did..but since I know nothing about Poker and couldn't stand the side commentary I switched the channel. Ok...I admit I only watched it really to see Ben..lol

Sorry I didn't post these until tonight. I was tired! I loved this program. I loved how loose Willie Garson was and that he won playing like a complete idiot! I play loose like him although I'm not quite as crazy with my hands. But I agree with him about keeping people off guard and varying your game constantly so they can't read you. I agree with everyone above that Ben was the best player and should have won and David was a close second- he really got screwed. Emily was embarrassing!!! Anyone who didn't play this week, please play next week. This should be a fun, friendly game! Its not too late for anyone to catch up- none of us did that well and there will be more questions next week now that I have an idea what it was like.

Q1. Who is eliminated first? Busfield Q2. Who is eliminated second? Sheen Q3. Who is eliminated third? Janney Q4. Who is the runner up? Schiff Q5. Who wins tonight? Spencer Q6. Who goes all in first? Spencer Q7. How many all in(s) will we see? 8 A little hint for everyone on question 7. There will be a minimum of 4 all in(s). You can only be eliminated when you lose after going all in and four people will be eliminated.
