Interview with Darvin Moon - 2009 WSOP Final Table

[SuttonSantiniPaulo]

I just saw this guy on ESPN check the nuts while last to act. Big no-no for people that know how to play the game.

[the3bigreddevils]

@SuttonSantiniPaulo Uhm are you inciting that he doesn't know how to play the game? DId you hear his reason why he checked?........

[SuttonSantiniPaulo]

@the3bigreddevils duh. Are you as dumb as Darvin?

[the3bigreddevils]

@SuttonSantiniPaulo Well dead money doesnt make it to the table, he admits he got lucky in how the cards fell on his side but you can't win a tournament that deep without luck AKA your hands holding up and picking up hands every few orbits. you state that I am dumb but are you dumb sir? Darvin played his cards right when he got them and made people make some super tough decisions. Do you even know how to recognize when someone knows how to play?

[SHELFSIDEYID1882]

yah, hes obv better than ivey cos he went further.....

the thing is he never said hes a world beater and always admitted he got v v lucky to get there....in other words fuck the jealous trolls who will never be happy, this guy lived a dream most of us would give our left testacle for

[georideswtp]

@SHELFSIDEYID1882

moon better than ivey??? 0.0 dumbest thing ever...

[PokeDurrrr]

@SHELFSIDEYID1882 ur crazy if u think Moon is better then Ivey..Ivey came to the final table as short stack, Moon came in as Chip Leader...odds are ..Unless Ivey Doubled up 3-4 times Moon woulda lasted longer...doesnt mean Moon is better...you certanly dont know poker if ur making that claim....Ivey..8 WSOP Bracelets...Darvin Moon...ZERO!!!

[SHELFSIDEYID1882]

@PokeDurrrr wtf youre territarded for even thinking i meant that, my point was why hate on someone who obv get incerdibly lucky and knows it and admits it, i was prob stoned

[plzwakeup]

I don't like the working class of America. They need to be gotten rid of. They are replaceable by Chinese.

[TheReclamation14]

worst poker player to ever play heads up in the main event

[jaydubbayu]

Is it "whatever happens, happens"? He said that like 19 times... Ha ha but that guy's great. No more bad comments.  He's just a simple hard-working man who did the best he could to get where he did. I wish everyone was like him really.

[orcuser]

why are idiots calling him a wife beater? lol jealous much? the guy played great for his skill level. dont be mad because he went on a magic run and you didnt.

[MrDeathrouge]

shes hot!!!!

[scrut]

hes a horrible player he made so many bad plays

[lomkankayfa818]

thats y he was the runner up right?

[simongern]

BIG UP DARVIN MOON

[pikkdogs]

This is really funny. They both look very uncomfortable.

They are like the exact opposite of each other.

She is an extremely hot woman, I mean extremely. I have never seen her before, but she looks very very very attractive. Moon is a hard working logger, fat guy who shows no emotion at all.

[adammclad]

i dislike him tipical american idiot. probably inbred

[Poker115]

He can spell better than u!

[GPunktmod]

lol he is a no good wife beater, so typical when he lied to his wife on final table. Oh yeah i have QQ an over pair to the flop but i am not calling an extra 3 million with a 30 million pot

[Hill568]

Wh the fuck are you? You have never told a lie? Darvin has now made more money then you could ever wish. I would rather be him them some dick who leaves childish comments.

[GPunktmod]

Yeah but the stupid wife beater (DARVIN MOON) didnt think his wife would find out that he lied.

[papichulobumber1]

Very calm demeanor at the table, he looked like a pro.

[6969ok69]

Too bad he lost.But he still gets over 5 million dollars for 2nd place.

[stevesport1]

Darvin! Nice guy, happy just being at the final table. You gotta appreciate his mild mannered, calming attitude towards the game of poker.

[OlalOop]

This one is for Mr. Moon: kmOIXdOr4Qk

[hellohello66666]

Very mild mannered aimiable person, a down to earth player who isnt plastered with adverts, good on him

[ilovejourney1]

GOT to give this guy credit!! I was wondering if he would wear a card company patch on his hat, HE DIDNT!! NO ADVERTISEMENT FOR HIM! COOL DUDE!

[gotitans999]

He calls last hand with QJ??? Luckily he had overs making it a toss up, but he didn't know that. Cada could have had KQ AQ etc. Moon is an idiot.

[HillsbradFoothills]

i was him or ivey to win. screw the others

[HillsbradFoothills]

want*

[PokerBlaster]

I hope Darvin wins the WSOP 2009. He's the nicest guy out there, and lady luck loves him. He also has amazing skills believe it or not .. Good Luck Darvin !!

[TheNutcracker19]

he is such a luckbox.

moon AQ vs ivey AK - flops queen to eliminate ivey,

moon AQ vs begleiter QQ - rivers ace to eliminate begleiter.

now he's heads up vs Joe Cada with 60M vs 135M... cada surely will win.

[Blackassnegri]

why are you spoiling it for people that want to watch it on tv?

[MeanGene79]

He was no worse of a 'luckbox' than Jamie Gold. That guy was disgustingly lucky. You never hear of the guy anymore.

[moviedude22]

I like this guy alot hope he 'writes' a book

[madduck09]

yeah wait for a good hand.....king 9 off is good enough is it??? if he beats cada now....it'll be a travesty for poker.....he sucked out on ivey, and begleiter....and nearly cada when the 9 came on the flop.....cmon cada!!!

[katchoman]

he may be running very well, but at least he's very likeable unlike Jamie Gold

[lollerz16]

just lost a massive pit to begleiter so he might not win after all

[alxcsb]

I'd love to see a head's up between Darvin and Ivey. With Darvin's chip stack and Ivey's skill, it would be an amazing game.

[MattGunnMusic]

Go darvin what a super super nice guy. Darvin for the win

[this1is9me]

I LIKE DARVIN MOON. Such a seemingly cool guy. Hope he does well.

[Nathancae]

this guy deserves it

[LordOfTheLard]

Its so sick the hands he gets, and every time he is sittning on a monster someone else has an all in hand too (or makes a stupid move), if this continues this guy will win the whole thing, and all that for 130$, sick.

[jeromeisfresh]

darvin should win cause hes so humble

[tjd07x]

I love his attitude. I hope he wins.

[colvo115]

Does Darvin bleach his hair?

[amcbirds]

no party!!! that girl is ready fuck you!!!

[tjd07x]

hahaha

[2TheDeath]

cool humble guy, such the opposite of begleiter- hope he busts that douche

[ASroma90]

totally agree. Hopes Darvin Moon takes it down. That Begleiter and his crowd make me sick, his ways at the table disgust me.

[ttderamo]

i agree ...begleiter sucks and so does his crowd and their chant...hes a just another yuppie that helped tear down our economy...i wish antoine saout spit in his face when he hit his back

[MattGunnMusic]

You put it better than I ever could

[flhr2000]

I hope he wins.

[maggotcorps]

very humble rich man. hope he doesnt change his ways.

[tjd07x]

He said he's going back to being a logger, said his life isn't going to change.

[casinohustler]

im not the celebrating type lmfao

[MaxEm87]

"whatever happens, happens"

[joelomat]

Moon Runs like god,

[MeetYourMakersTV]

play 10 hours per day in 8 days, then answer and huge every single person cheering for you, woudn't you be tired? c'mon, this guy will be at least 4th or 3th, has a huge CL and he is a very tight player, not like Phillips last year who tried to buy all pots, this guy will do fine but I'd love to see AKENHEAD X IVEY HU, would be amazing

[sebaxoo]

The last year Phillips just got crazy with his chip stack I think Darvin will also reach the 3th place like Dennis, but without big problems.

We have to remeber thar Dennis started as the CL, bu then he was one of the short stacks in the room, went all in like 3 times, got lucky and make the 3rd place.

[popeye135]

Jamie Gold was huge chip leader in the FT and he won it and he is still a fish, so anything can happen. He can win of course he can

[hitmanstefan]

damn shes hoooooot

[silverberetta17]

we dated on and off! I love her!

[deamacks]

sheesh this guy is boring. How can someone like this make it this far? yes he is a great player. however he's not quick like many of the poker players are.

[silverberetta17]

read his article in the Washington Post for 10/4/09. good stuff. DO IT NOW

[formerutuber]

he plays good and with the amount of chips he has, he's probably gonna win with Ivey going second and Akonhead 3rd

[Sev3r333]

are you serious? ivey like...5th....akenhead...6th maybe?

[formerutuber]

no, Ivey, Akenhead, Schulman and Moon would be the top 4.I don't know what positions for sure.

[hamish999]

"I havent went to be yet" god help us if he wins......

[gmc900]

"I haven't went to bed yet"

[BETD911]

I totally agree, it's going to be unconfortable to be in the same table with Phil Ivey, even with the large chip advantage Moon has. I look foward to november to see the final table

[G3rbi1]

Shulman's blase attitude is all based on money. WSOP chose to partner with Bluff magazine so Shulman, who owes everything to his daddy and CardPlayer, pretends he doesn't care. Moon is different. For one thing, he's a level headed guy with a good grip on reality. For another thing, he suffered the terrible tragedy of a woman he loved being murdered. That tempers his joy in life.

I'm rooting for him all the way, but as he says, whatever happens, happens.

[ooven]

Wow I never knew that happend to Darvin. Such an awesome guy though, so down to earth, I'm rooting for him.

[MrBinsMan]

moon what a mug. bad for the game. he doesn't care about doing anything for the game or winning the bracelet. he's only in it for the money.

[AriFuckinGold]

everyone seems so relaxed and stuff saying things like 'whatever happens happens' .. i'd be fartin rainbows jumpin up and down and celebrating

[spjagoff]

I played with this guy in the satelite he won to get to the w.s.o.p. He won his seat at wheeling island casino. Pretty cool! I hope he takes it all.

[kirksta123]

the guy must be pretty tired he' just played 8 days of non stop poker and countless interviews and media attention etc no wonder he isnt jumping up and down, ah well tho he has at least a million to look forward to!

[Meltdown56]

He doesn't seem at all phased by the fact he's a millionaire. Quite weird really

[JSuperyor]

i live about 20 minutes away from this guy!

[travmanx]

I'm bout 30-40 away

[elion22]

i'm really anticipating to see this guy play . He seems so down to earth and relaxed

[popeye135]

buchman shulman are also so relaxed,,,,they are all so relaxed

[FreeClassifiedAds]

He's not going to win. Sad to sayy...

[krjo4215]

that's what they said about Jamie Gold

[DJOG1981]

he looks so excited about being in the final table....

[popeye135]

lool i watched jeff shulman and eric buchman interviews and both were like they dont really care being in this instance,,,so fucking boring...and now this guy the chipleader with the same attitude wtf is happening to this guys.

[FearISaWMD]

+1 drocloce

[haiska]

one cool cat

[drocloce]

cool guy. . .beautiful girl.

[41htdex]

That sums it up in 4 words! shwing!
