Great Job, Bryan and the MSPT…What fantastic coverage and the new table was just the bomb. Thought I was watching the WSOP and with Hartmann’s color commentary in the background….well it was still great…..
Great job to both Kou and Everett Awesome job by both and all the final table.

I think that final table was a good showing on how power poker is played and working a big stack is incredibly important. Kou seemed to make all the right shots regardless of what he had in his hand. A good range of three betting and taking dead money whenever possible.
