If you looked at the standings a couple months ago, you would have predicted that Chad Haynes would be the 2009 DPL Champion, but he has not been running all that good of late. In the 2nd game of the August 2009 session, Chad had flopped the nut straight to come up short to two (2) full houses that were both caught on the river. In the 1st game of the October 2009 session, Chad got all his chips in with

Chad is actually playing good poker, but everyone in poker knows that there are bad beats waiting. I have had them, Keith Watrous has had them, all poker players have had them, and nobody likes them. Keep your head up Chad, two games to go and anything can happen. If you see them, flops will come.
With the
HPT event around the corner from the final session, the season
will come down to the play of Chad and Keith. Who wants to win
more, trust me, they both want it equally as bad.
