I missed all but the ending of last night’s episode of Celebrity Poker on Bravo. I know from the commercials that one of the players lost all his money on the first hand. I know from watching the end of the show that it was someone named Adam. But can anyone give me the details of what happened?
With thanks to TiVo: It was Adam Rodriguez of CSI:Miami. He had 10-Q offsuit, and Norm MacDonald had J-K offsuit. The flop came J-K-Q. The turn was nothing of consequence, and the river was another J. When Norm bet all-in, for some unknown reason, Adam called.
I missed the first 30 minutes or so, but was very surprised that Norm McDonald didn’t win. He seemed to have several chances, but failed to act on any of them.
I’d also like to add that one of my small personal pet-peeves is when the first person to reply to a thread feels the need to quote the OP, as if the reader might have forgotten it in the time it takes his or her eyes to scan down to the second post. And yet I did exactly that for some reason. Forgive me.
Yeah, he wouldn’t pull the trigger playing heads-up. There were a couple of other hands where I thought he could’ve pushed people off because of his huge chip lead but regardless he needed to have gone after MIB harder one-on-one.
But I like MIB so I have no objection to watching him play in the finals.
I wish I could’ve been inside Phil Gordon’s head when he was watching that first hand. I’m sure I would have picked up some handy new profanities. His actual out loud response was remarkably restrained.
I’m guessing the moment they showed in the ads where Dave Foley literally jumped over his desk in disbelief was when Adam Rodriguez called.
And, yes, what the hell was he thinking calling with a 10-J-J-Q-Q-K against someone who had just gone all in with two hole cards and J-J-Q-K? Obviously MacDonald had to have a jack or a king (and in fact had both) either of which would beat his hand.
Actually that was in reaction to the blinds going to $5,000 and $10,000. They haven’t gone that high before on the show.
Adam said in his interview that he’d just learned how to play poker about a week ago. He went down in flames thanks to his own inexperience.
MIB got lucky there at the end, but Norm shouldn’t have let him stay around long enough to get lucky in the first place. He could’ve won, but didn’t pull the trigger.
When do the blinds change? Is it a certain number of hands?
I don’t know what the blind structure is for the show. Within the ep it seemed to go from $3,000/$5,000 very quickly but since the show is edited there’s no telling how long or how many hands it actually was.
…seemed to go from $3,000/$5,000 to $5,000/$10,000 very quickly…
Does anybody know who ended up winning the whole thing? When I turned it off they were down to the final two.
Maura Tierney was the winner.
Lauren Graham was robbed. Okay, maybe not, but I have a huge crush on her and wanted her to win. She’s just so cute.
Anyway, isn’t there another tournament coming up? Or was this all of it?
Tournament 3 starts on Thursday, July 8 with
Willie Garson
Jennie Garth
Richard Kind
Dave Navarro
Jerry O’Connell
OOOOO lookie what I found!
Tournament 3 with player lists
Bobby Flay in Game 4! Please please let him lose horribly!!
Does anyone know if this will be shown on Canadian sattellite (I have Bell Expressvu).
Our version of Bravo (Canadian) pales in comparison to the US version (same with IFC).

Cool, thanks DeVena for the link. Looking forward to Game 3, as Peter Facinelli will probably get ribbed for being the only one not on Arrested Development.
Especially since he’s not Portia de Rossi.
Yay, Ron Livingston! God, please take Kathy Griffin out first so I can watch the rest of the game in peace. Amen.
