This week's show (August 14th) is the first of two semi-final rounds. Of the 5 competitors at the table, 2 will advance to the final round, and a chance at the serious cash. First place is still more valuable than second, because the winner gets $25,000. Semifinal #1 features these players: Paul Haas, Henry Tran, Pat Nicholas, Jeff Bernstein, John Payne Since this thread was late in appearing, there was already a discussion going on about the final hand.

I finally got around to watching this show. I thought it was pretty exciting, even though the betting strategies left a lot to be desired. John Payne is absolutely fearless when it comes to pushing money in the circle. During the World Series, Rock'n'Roll Darrell and I were in the green room during his rounds, cheering on our fellow Mississippian. Darrell does a pretty good impression of John Payne pushing out those max bets: "Fitty thousan'."
Who won? Did the Haassasin live up to his name? Cheers Reachy Ps. Do you know whether GSN is going to offer the shows as downloads? The gambling channels in the UK have gone through a bit of rationalisation recently and the poker channel which had shown previous WSOB is now All-In Sport and it seems to mostly show extreme Bass fishing.
Is this where they use dynamite to catch the fish? Now THAT'S extreme fishing - unless you live here in Florida then it's Saturday night fun! :laugh:
Fishing with bombs Now that sounds like fun! I'd like to go nuclear and catch the whole lake in one go! Cheers Reachy
