Comments on Yahoo about World Series of Poker

21-year-old becomes youngest WSOP champion ever
By OSKAR GARCIA, Associated Press Writer

Image from Yahoo

LAS VEGAS (AP)—A 21-year-old Michigan poker professional who chose cards over college won the World Series of Poker main event in Las Vegas early Tuesday, winning $8.55 million and becoming the youngest player to win the tournament in its 40-year history.

Joe Cada of Shelby Township, Mich., turned over a pair of nines early after 46-year old Darvin Moon called his all-in wager with a suited queen-jack, setting up an about-even race for most of the chips on the table.

But a board of two sevens, a king, an eight and a deuce didn’t connect with either player’s cards and gave Cada the win.

This was the Headline I saw and read when I open my yahoo page. I am not a fans of poker games but got interest to read this post and to come up in the comments section of this news Booooom... Some angry guy posted their comments.... According to them Yahoo ruin their night and inconsiderate by posting this.

To share it, here are some...

   No one ran a story telling the end of the "Sixth Sense" when it came out.
   No one ran a story telling the end of "Seven" when it came out.
   There are many movies that weren't spoiled for the masses. They were at least given a weekend or two go see the movie at the theater.
   Why do you (and USA Today and other sites) feel the need to spoil the ending of this event? The event is about the journey as much as the outcome.
   You may say it is news. But there is no need to put the winners picture on the front of the website. The picture and the title of the story could easily have been 'spoiler-proof'ed. I put in the four months watching all of the episodes. But since I needed to check my e-mail I was force-fed the result with no choice.After fifteen years, I have to look in to getting a gmail account, now

   Nice spoiler. As you can probably tell by all the other comments, Yahoo, the episode doesn't air until tonight on ESPN. I've been watching every episode and was excited to watch this tonight. The first thing I see when I open yahoo.com is the youngest champ ever with a picture of Cada. You ruined my night. @#$% You

    I understand both sides of the argument, the stop whining remarks as well as those who feel the suspense has been ruined. I know that we are an instant gratificaiton world now, and the internet brings us up to the minute news, but c'mon. This sucks. Why watch it now? It ruins my TV watching for one night. I know, boo hoo, right? But seriously, this was not cool at all IMO.

    I was so disappointed when ESPN started running the Final Nine promos saying that Phil Ivey would be there, because they had not aired the show yet, but then I was really ticked off to learn yesterday that it was down to the final two and he wasn't one of them. Now I know the winner and all the iwnd has been taking out of my sail. I would like to learn who the winners are by watching the game. Silly me. For all sports fans knowing the ending score ahead of time does take away from the game.

    yes this is ridiculously frustratin for people who follow the show to have it spoiled like this. ive been trying to avoid seeing the new bluff magazine cuz they show the winner on the cover before espn airs the final episode as well. now i don't even feel like watching. and all u people who are sticking up for yahoo obviously are not following the wsop show so u don't know how annoying it is to have it spoiled. shut your mouths
