"I just want to say one thing: It's probably more important output(?) than it is for me."--Guy Laliberté. I would have loved for him to have said this to David Benyamine in French.
Wow. Guy Laliberté and David Benyamine agree to just let Guy take the money that was in the pot before the David's re-raise all-in and call, which was the $238,900; otherwise, Guy was the favorite to win $1,227,900. I love that the players are allowed to do this.

02. $93,700 to Sam Farha (Patrik Antonius, Jamie Gold)

"When you don't make a pair for eight hours, you go crazy."--Doyle Brunson.
08. $29,400 to Sam Farha (Jamie Gold)
"What do you have in your pocket?"--Jamie Gold. It's interesting to see that a player could sell his/her chips, which I'm assuming just means to change chips for cash.

09. $32,900 to David Benyamine (Jamie Gold)
"I bet whatever's in my hand."--Jamie Gold, counting out his cash.

"Why don't they run the rest of the deck?"--Gabe Kaplan.
Daniel Negreanu is here! He'll take Jamie Gold's seat. Too bad he showed up just after hand 10; I think he would have loved it.
"Did I miss anything?"--Daniel Negreanu. Heh. The players told him, "No."

RealityTV: Dancing With The Stars, (S05, Week06) Sabrina Bryan is Eliminated
x Judges' encore performance is the group Rock'n'Roll dance. OMG, on Tony Dovolani dancing by himself; he actually went through all the motions as though he had a partner. It was hilariously great.
x Barry Manilow performs They Dance. With him are Louis van Amstel and Cheryl Burke.
x The first two couples saved are Melanie Brown and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and Jane Seymour and Tony Dovolani.
x In a preview of Bruno Tonioli's and Carrie Ann Inaba's new show, Dance War, it's a showcase of the choreography on the show. The routine was created by Christian Dennehey(sp?) and Jason Young.
x Barry Manilow is back, performing Mandy. Dancing are Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya; I think it's a waltz.
x Enjoyed the clip of the celebrities questioning the judges.
x Next saved is Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough.
x Jennie Garth and Derek Hough, and Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts are also safe.
x The bottom two couples are Cameron Mathison and Edyta Sliwinska, and Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas. Of them, Sabrina and Mark are eliminated.
RealityTV: Dancing With The Stars, (S05, Week06) 7 Perform the Individual Dances and Group Rock'n'Ro
1. Sabrina Bryan (25/30) - Foxtrot. First, love, love, love what Mark Ballas is wearing. I did catch the stumble, which occurred at the far end of the floor. I thought she was light on her feet, but I hated how abrupt she seemed to be. In a more exaggerated form, for the purpose of comparison, I was reminded of Mario Lopez's (season3) clipped style of dancing.
2. Jennie Garth (27/30) - Mambo. More superficiality: Love Derek Hough's shirt. Ooh. It's partly sheer (seen when he's backstage during the q&a by Samantha Harris). I'm surprised that none of the judges mentioned the little hands mishap where their hands didn't connect smoothly. Otherwise, I found myself smiling; enjoyed the under-arm turns at the beginning. I did like the play with the hat, which sometimes I do and other times I don't.
3. Jane Seymour (22/30) - Jive. I don't like her outfit. It fits the dance, of course, but I feel it's distinctly too young for her to wear. The routine, I found on the slow side, awkward to watch, and kept wondering if her looking at Tony Dovolani was for cues.
"What's going on tonight?"--Bruno Tonioli.
4. Cameron Mathison (25/30) - Samba. I liked that Cameron danced with the little girl in the practice footage and that the editors showed it in the finished montage. I'm actually with Judges Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli: I didn't quite understand how the costumes matched the song, but I half-suspect that this is a situation where Cameron and Edyta Sliwinska were doomed from the start by the song choice. I am awed that he can flip himself off the floor.
5. Melanie Brown (30/30) - Rumba. Liked that the lyrics said, "around the world," and Maksim Chmerkovskiy turned/twirled/whatever from one side of Melanie to her other side. The ending was hilarious: Melanie on Bruno Tonioli's lap and Maksim with Carrie Ann Inaba, while Len Goodman's gesture was, "What about me?" Loved it.
"That routine was perfected, inspected, dissected and, as far as I'm concerned, it won't be rejected."--Len Goodman.
"I'm keeping my focus this time...You can't get to me again...I didn't say I wouldn't sweat..."--Tom Bergeron, when Melanie Brown again gyrates against him.
6. Marie Osmond (23/30) - Pasodoble. Love the collar of Jonathan Roberts's shirt. Eek, the ending, with Jonathan jumping off the stage to a prone Marie, and she arches her back, was very, very vampiric for me.
7. Helio Castroneves (28/30) - Chachacha. He's wearing bell-bottoms. I really wish that Julianne Hough would decide not to have him wear a vest that hides his hips; I always feel that I'm missing something with the long vests and coats. The final pose looked like a stumble, but I would be glad to be wrong.
Group Rock'n'Roll Dance:
x I love watching the rehearsal footage for these one-day group-dance practices. Total crack-up.
x Hah. The handkerchiefs that Marie Osmond holds for the "dance race" came from the top of her dress.
x Jane Seymour's--hate the wig--height over Tony Dovolani is just wow.
x Edyta Sliwinska practically swung herself entire around Cameron Mathison.
x Hah. Sabrina Bryan tossed her partner, Mark Ballas, over her shoulder.
x Marie Osmond did a cartwheel thing with Jonathan Roberts's help.
x Maksim Chmerkovskiy held Melanie Brown over his head and turned. How strong is he.
x Sadly, I thought that the flip Jennie Garth and Derek Hough did was safe, coming after everybody else as it did.
x Helio Castroneves flipped, turned, and tossed Julianne Hough in his arms.
x Haha! Derek Hough kicked Julianne Hough back towards Helio Castroneves, who then helped her over his head.

"Every week's an adventure on High Stakes Poker this season."--Gabe Kaplan.
04. $236,000 to Sam Farha (Bob Safai, Eli Elezra, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth)
Bob Safai finally leaves the table.
"Get away!"--AJ Benza. It's the way he said it.
"We can expect them to be discussing this for a while."--AJ Benza.
05. $307,200 to Jamie Gold (Phil Hellmuth, Jennifer Harman)
"This might be the greatest game in the history of poker. I'm serious. Lock the freaking doors, please! Somebody."--Daniel Negreanu.
"I see money there and I get excited."--Sam Farha.
In Bob Safai's vacated seat, it's Phil Galfond.
06. $56,400 to Jennifer Harman (Sam Farha, Eli Elezra)
07. $38,400 to Sam Farha (Phil Galfond, Eli Elezra)
"I should have taken the chop."--Phil Galfond. / "No. You should have bet on the flop."--Gabe Kaplan.
08. $85,800 to Eli Elezra (Sam Farha, Jamie Gold)
Ooh. $500,000 buy-in game on High Stakes Poker. Can't wait.

"Ooh. Somebody forgot to straddle."--Daniel Negreanu. The way he said it. Okay. Sang it.
14. $38,100 to Sam Farha (Phil Hellmuth, Jennifer Harman)
What's hilarious about this episode is the state of Jennifer Harman's stack.
Poker: High Stakes Poker, (S04x07)
How many times did Gabe Kaplan say "poker" during that introduction?
01. $57,500 to Mike Baxter (Jennifer Harman, Sam Farha)
02. $74,100 to Jennifer Harman (Daniel Negreanu, Sam Farha)
03. $224,800 to Sam Farha (Mike Baxter, Jamie Gold)
"That's a good sign. He's breathing and he's thinking."--Sam Farha.
"Good sign that he's still alive."--Daniel Negreanu.
"Five-thousand dollars a sip. It has to be from the same cup."--Sam Farha, talking about his "lucky coffee."
04. $366,500 to Phil Hellmuth (Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer Harman, Sam Farha)
"Wrong, Jamie. Phil Hellmuth has not won eleven bracelets at the World Series of Poker for no reason."--Gabe Kaplan.
I think I like that Jamie Gold made the guys on the background couches leave because Sam Farha was feeling uncomfortable with having them behind him.
05. $37,600 to Eli Elezra (Sam Farha, Jamie Gold, Bob Safai)
Why did Eli Elezra say, "good luck" to a departing Daniel Negreanu? I'm not sure whether or not to believe Gabe Kaplan.
06. $21,400 to Phil Hellmuth and Jamie Gold (Bob Safai, Eli Elezra)
The pot of $42,800 was split between them.
"That's his M.O."--Jennifer Harman.
"Every hand here is a story."--Gabe Kaplan.
07. $271,000 to Eli Elezra (Mike Baxter, Jamie Gold, Sam Farha)
"In a normal game, and this is not a normal game, but in a normal game..."--Gabe Kaplan.
Mike Baxter, Eli Elezra, and Sam Farha agree to deal the turn and the river twice. Both runs go to Eli Elezra, who busts Sam Farha and severely cripples Mike Baxter, who decides to leave the table. Who will take his vacated seat?
"I'm staying until the end."--Eli Elezra.
08. $54,700 to Jennifer Harman (Eli Elezra, Sam Farha, Jamie Gold, Bob Safai)
"Every hand has been really interesting. Different than you usually see in any normal poker game."--Gabe Kaplan.
Brandon Adams will take Sam Farha's old seat, since Farha moved over to take Mike Baxter's open spot. Adams looks familiar.
09. $102,400 to Sam Farha (Phil Hellmuth, Jennifer Harman, Jamie Gold, Eli Elezra)
10. $27,700 to Sam Farha (Jamie Gold, Bob Safai, Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer Harman, Brandon Adams)
"He's been corrupted. He was supposed to be a stabilizing influence."--Gabe Kaplan.
11. $92,600 to Jamie Gold (Bob Safai, Sam Farha)
12. $314,700 to Bob Safai (Brandon Adams, Sam Farha, Jamie Gold, Eli Elezra)
"Everybody's cards don't add up to ten."--Gabe Kaplan.
"Is everybody in?"--Jennifer Harman, when Bob Safai and Eli Elezra both go all-in during this hand (12).
Ahh. Brandon Adams was on Cash Poker.
