Video of The RP at the World Series of Poker Final Table

At long last, thanks to the folks at ESPN, WSOP.com, Caesar’s, Veetle.com, and our extraordinary Webmaster, Justin Burnette, we are now proud to share with you video from The RP’s impossible journey to the final table of the 2012 World Series of Poker, $1000-buy-in no limit Texas hold ’em event. (Click here to read his full account.)

Specifically, the video below shows the final twenty minutes of The RP’s four day, 40 hour marathon in which he finished in 8th place out of the original 4,260 entries.

The folks at ESPN obviously knew The RP’s best side, so most of the video of the final table is shot from behind our erstwhile blogger, who sits in front center of the screen, back to camera, in a white shirt with blue sleeves and a tan No Labels hat — which unfortunately, had no label on its back.  So we miss his poker face — and the naive surprise in his eyes for having the extraordinary luck to be where he was.

But, we do get to see some entertaining hands in these 20 minutes: The RP surviving two all-ins in which he was the big underdog; an opponent with a much larger stack getting eliminated, thereby earning The RP an additional $14,000; and the final hand in which The RP gracefully exits the stage.

Enjoy:
