Lots of folks are saying CJ didn't do very well considering he had a big spot.
Well, as most on here know, at CJ's level of play the 7 is not a huge spot since he is "suppose" to get out from the 7.
Also, at Dennis's level of play "beast X1000", the 7, again, is not a huge spot for him to give "ANYONE" that has not regularly competed at the highest levels for several years no matter who they are.
Like most on here know and some I'm sure have mentioned, what made it possible for CJ to stay with and actually get ahead of Dennis early in the match was the fact that the table conditions was, to say the least, way different than Dennis is use to.
It just proves that if equipment is set up a certain way, lol... even the biggest of beast struggle.
Personally, I think CJ played extremely well considering he was playing Dennis O with just the 7.
Also, a lot of people seem to think the "call 7" is bigger than it is. Anyone that thinks the "call anything" is a strong spot playing Dennis O needs to either get more experience or....... join the pros cause there are several players considered to be pros that can't beat him with "call 7".
