Default 7uongo

No idea if this is the right place to put this but Luongo was just beat in poker with quad 7's. How ironic. Pre-flop, he went in with pocket q's against pocket 7's.

I heard he fell down at the poker table and lay there for an hour and a half writhing in pain before his personal trainer arrived.

Yup.

The final table is Jan. 3, 6, 8. Once again Luongo couldn't pull out the big win when needed. Anyone know who is on the final table?

Every where I have read it has said that Luongo is at the final table. Even on the NHL.com website.

But, I can tell you who will be at the Final Table when the broadcast airs. And, let's just put it this way, there are some NHL players that can also play a pretty mean game of poker.

Current players Roberto Luongo, Jeremy Roenick, Mats Sundin, Scott Hartnell and Kris Versteeg all made it to the Final Table. There, they were joined by retired players Glenn Anderson and Eddie Olczyk. Also at the table were poker pro Vanessa Russo and online qualifier Murray Ungurain.

I think you meant to say:

Luongo isn't as good at hold em because his true expertise is at SEVEN Card Stud.

I think they messed up because he finished 3rd in that qualifier, only two advance.
