Unless I missed something or the camera missed something, he is a baby

You have to cut him some slack. Phil Helmuth still acts like a baby, and how long has he been at this?

I really like John. He hasn't been playing live tournies for all that long, and he had 1.5 mil in chips, got his money in almost every time at that final table with the best hand, and lost it all and ended up what...5th? 6th? I would have been hard pressed not to throw a chair across the room.

While I agree that him pushing the chips like that was not correct or right, I can fully understand it and cut him some slack in that regard. It did not hurt my image of him at all.

I really wouldn't mind seeing an un-edited episode of one of these tournaments. Editors like to cut out all the hands that don't make for great t.v. but I say the hell with that. Let me see all those dumb little hands that build up to that giant pot two or three players are bluffing there as$ off at. May not be as dramatic as people would like but then again I'm a pretty boring guy.

I saw that, D'agustino had the best hand pre flop and got a really bad beat, he went from chip leader with over a million in chips to getting busted out pretty early in the final table because he played too many hands.

That was the exact same criticism I had of his play in that one. He called WAY too many times because he could. Easy mistake to make when you have such a huge chip lead. You start thinking, well even if he wins this one, it won't hurt me.
