can someone stop Joe McKeehen? well yeah, like anyone of the remaining players easily can if they turn on the "drunk russian in pokerstars freeroll" mode. if this happens joe's aces and/or kings have no chance against villains 26 off and other nuts. from the neutral point of view that would be much fun though...

Hmm... Now Pierre (the oldest at the table) got eliminated in 7th place, unfortunately, my money is on the second oldest player.

Good luck, everyone.

mckeehen play preaty tight, and in heads up or in 3-way game, he could easy lose chip lead if he continue like that to play... I hope he will losen up a little and try to steal some pots as I said I think he will win it for sure

Poor flasfaust is right now in the middle of a ninja clan war in Tokyo, we should not bother him with these kinda nonsense.
