You had Parica huh? Who do you want, Jose or Alex? (I really want Jose to win, but I'd make Alex a very slight favorite)
I can't really make a choice in that one. It is a toss up when dealing with 2 people from the same fantastic pool playing country.
I'd probably say Parica just for the fact, that he's had many bridesmaid situations in the past few years, and he's never really been the bride as of late.
It would be a nice feather in his glorious cap of a career.
BUT yeah, i took Parica. I had to in that situatiuon. To me it's a no brainer.
If he shows up, he beats everyone, and i have always said that he is one of the BEST at dealing with pressure and is a PIT BULL at the table! (when he's on) His only flaw might be the fact that when the cameras get rolling near the END of a tournament, he gets a little goofy sometimes, and it costs him.
But i have seen him play in tournaments with no cameras, and the guy is just a machine when he's on.
Charlie might play great, but he is IMO not nearly as tenacious as a dialed in Jose Parica. I think he's prone to come apart at the seams MORE than Jose during the major events.
