Note to the Chairman

I just watched a 2004 WSOP final table 5k PL Omaha.

Ted Lawson nicknamed "The Chairman" because he's a chairman of some company, won the event. He took a huge pot from Lederer, and knocked out 3 guys. This guy was a rookie then, it was his first WSOP and first final table. It was irritating to see him play, it's one of those guys that you would want to beat up after a game. On an all-in situation, he'd tell you what he has then he shows the cards, he can just shut up and turn the cards up right? It was annoying. Well, it back-fired on him when he called an all-in. He said he had a straight but he didn't. His cards were a 8 and a 9. then there was a 7 and a 10 on the board. Dumbass! thought he had a straight made, he din't make the draw and lost the pot. That's not all, when he won, after the last hand heads-up, he stands up, waves to the crowd, gets money from his pocket and throws a bill to the dealer! What the hell?! Nothing wrong tipping the dealer but it was on TV man, do it after. It's like making a winning shot in basketball then the camera focuses on you, picking your nose or dancing William Hung style.

Note to the Chairman and the others... after winning a game, act like a winner not like a loser.. hehehe :p
