'94 World Series

So it's about 12:30 am, and I'm in the process of making my midnight snack (a hotpocket: meatball w/ mozerella... pretty good) and gettin' ready to play Socom II. While waiting for it to heat up, I flip thru the channels, and wouldn't you know ESPN Classic is showing coverage of the 94 WSOP. Wow, how things were different. Anyways, I was watching the heads up play between Russ Hamilton (the eventual winner) and some guy named Hugh Vincent. The final hand confused the hell out of me. The flop came out 10 6 2. Hamilton, holding K 8, moves all in. After taking a few bites of his cheeseburger (yes, Vincent was eating a cheeseburger at the final table during heads up play) Vincent makes the call which put him All In. He flips over 8 5. WTF was he thinking?

'93 World Series is on now, and it's about time for another hot pocket.

I watched the '93 final table on Monday night. They are really freakin boring and I can see why it took "hole card cams" to bring televised poker into the spotlight. The majority of the show was watching the busted players get interviewed as opposed to watching the action on the table.
