That episode was more fun than I thought it would be. I figured Dave Navarro would be the first one out.

Yup, fun table, plus the comments from the losers lounge were great. Jerry was really hamming it up in the early going, especially when he pulled an Ace out of his butt to survive against Dave.

The final showdown between Richard and Dave was great. He must have gone all in like 3 straight times. Having Willie in the lounge really helped Dave's commentary.

And Jennie Garth was looking good.

I had to turn this off since I hate Jerry with a passion.

Celebrity poker is always stupid but I would have watched this just to see Jennie.

Too bad Jennie didn't have a clue what she was doing.

Given the hands she chose to play and not play, I would certainly say she had at least a clue. If anyone at that table didn't have a clue, it was Jerry O'Connell.

I couldn't stand Kelly Taylor, but Jennie looked great last night - better than ever.

I would have liked to see Richard Kind win, but that was an entertaining match.

Which "he"?

So who won? Exaustion forced me to turn off the tv after Evil Willie was eliminated.

Dave won. Lots of terrible poker in there. Jennie played the right starting hands for a tight player, but after that, she wasn't too impressive. That was apparent when she got bluffed off her obviously dominant hand. Jerry calling all-in with Ace-high was probably the worst poker move in the show's history. Bluffing all-in with nothing is one thing. Calling it after a raise, a re-raise, and then the all-in on the river? Beyond stupid.

I did see that part, das and, while I'm not at all an experienced poker player, even I knew how bad a move Jerry's was. At least it got Jerry away from the table so we didn't have to deal with his shouting and dancing and chip biting.

Jerry's machismo got in the way of smart poker play. But Dave knew what would set Jerry off and that sealed Jerry's early exit.
