These final tables are quite interesting - this one simply due to horrendous play. But also educational in terms of what not to do - and how you might be able to read players who play like this in the future.

That was very strange.

Wow. Wow. Really?

It was instructive sort of....if you can gather yourself from uncontrollable laughter.

The commentator is great...

"Oh and he's checked himself into oblivion."
"He's played himself into catastrophe here."
"That's a head-scratcher right there."
"I'd love to do some more analysis for you on that hand but I really don't understand what I just watched."
"Either he's got the most insane reading ability of any poker player ever, or ....."

Then a tribute to the younger generation, "What's wrong with the kids of today."

At the end the commentator is so bewilderered by what he's been witnessing that he doesn't realize someone hit a gut shot on the river. Thinking the player has a ten high the comment is "He doesn't realize he's bluffing with the best hand." He thought ten-high had triumphed over seven-high.

Highly entertaining, and Matthew is right. You can learn a lot about a player's style if you are observant.

This was a nightmarish display of the pitfalls of trappy play. And incomprehensible three-barreling.
