Hilarious TV Tournament

I just watched the early rounds of the 2005 US Poker Championship for the
Taj in Atlantic City. I'm sure it's been on TV before but this is the first
time I've seen it.
The whole show has been hysterical! There is a guy at the featured table
named Lance Funston that has got to be one of the biggest donkeys to ever
enter a tournament. He makes Aaron Kanter look like a poker genius.
Funston is killing the table and he doesn't even know the value of the
chips! "OK, I call your two purple ones and I raise you four orange ones".
Men the Master is at the table and is supposedly Funston's "friend and
mentor". (If you believe that I've got some prime ocean front property for
sale in Kansas). Men is manipulating this dumb dope like a puppet on
strings, but the guy keeps beating him any way. Funston is giggling like a
school girl thinking it's all good fun with his pal Men, and Men is glaring
at him like he'd love to slit Funston's throat. Funston never has a clue if
he's ahead or behind in a hand and when he makes the hand, he jerks around
so much a blind man could pick up the tell. And he's still beating them
like red-haired step children!
Gavin Smith, who (sorry to say) usually looks like a total slob, has out
done himself. He's still a slob but has got his hair in these little
mini-dread lock braids with white beads all over his head. It would be hard
for a grown man to look stupider at a poker table.
Kenna James puts a guy all in, makes the nut straight with the nut flush
re-draw on the turn and doesn't even realize he is ahead in the hand! He's
sitting there yelling for a nine, to give him the ass end of the straight!
BTW, this is the same Kenna James that is now writing and publishing poker
training material! Only in America!
Here's the best part - Lance Funston who is as totally clueless as they
come, is in number two position in the whole tournament! Who the hell said
poker ain't a skill game?
