I can't quite believe I've seen this but.....

I finished 5th in the Virgin $50 freeroll (it was supposed to be a warm up for the V Points but I never got going in that one). Anyway I got rivered by a player who called a 6x BB pre flop raise and then when the flop was 10, 9, rag (pairing my A10 hand) he called another 6xBB All In (having checked the flop. He turns over KQ and hits his K on the river. To be honest it was not the worst call in history as he was the chip leader. I hung around to watch the conclusion of the MTT which eventually ended up HU with him and another. After about 10-15 hands he (tonny3) had about 80000 chips against gunga's 140000 chips. The cards are dealt, tonny3 on the BB. Gunga calls the BB and tonny3 checks. The flop shows a rainbow J,10,2 and gunga bets 100000. Tonny3 calls (All In) and tunrs over 8,3o!!!!!!!!!!!!!:\:\ Gunga has 2 pair (J,10) and wins the tournament. How did tonny3 get to the final table with play like that? it makes me feel like giving up poker (at least whilst the world cup is on ;))

Re: I can't quite believe I've seen this but..... Unbelievable isn't it. . . . I got stung earlier today, worst one for a long while, . . . Had pocket Aces. Heavily betted pre flop (roughly 5 x BB) all folded apart from 2 callers. Flop came 7-9-2 rainbow. Another big bet for me, 1 chap folded, the remaining dude called. Turn was a 5. A big bet again from me which was called. The River turned a 3. Another pot sized bet for me - and another call . . . I turn my bullets over and start counting my chips - the fcuker has only been callin with 53 and gets two pair. I was fuming!!!!!!!!! How?! Why?!
