Going to be reviewing the schedule with my dad to see if we can make it work - This summer is going to be tougher as I'll have summer high school football and basketball for my youngest for most of June and the first week of July, and we'll be taking a family vacation that second week of July.

My dad will probably make 2-3 trips out, usually one around the seniors events, and I'm really trying to convince him to play the main event this year as it is one of his bucket list items.
 
The WSOP + app looks like a huge winner to enter tournaments w/o the lines and updating chip totals, getting seat assignments, etc
 
I bought. 012% of all DNegs' first bullets for the entire WSOP for $240.
Can we get this translated?
Many payers sell some of their action. DNegs sold some of his. Cav has bought some of mine in the past
I think it's pretty cool that a player of his stature sells action with no markup at all. Makes watching the daily vlogs more fun with a little skin in the game. I ran into the Chainsaw last year at Wynn and suggested he do that and the guy looked at me like I'd suggested pounding on his own testicles with a bal-peen hammer while wearing a Burger King crown.

I played almost two weeks ago at the Chainsaw Series at Planet Hollywood . First Day, I finished 3rd out of 98, for $6088. I'm a mixed games player, and played the whole week with three other near cashes. Perfect warmup for WSOP. Alan and I have become good friends.

In the event I finished 3rd, in Omaha 8 or better, I had 60% of all the tourney chips in a pot.... and this happened....

I had A 4 7 10. Not the greatest, but 3 handed its pretty good. Flop was A 5 A. I'm pretty happy., First place guy bets, I raise, he raises, I call.

Turn card was a 10. I now have aces full of 10's. I'm ecstatic at 2am LOL. I bet, he raises, we cap it. All I need is a card 9 or higher to scoop.

2 of diamonds hits river. We bet a few more times.. I figured he had a low, and flushed or straighted. He hit a straight flush LOL. I went from 1.05m to 175k on that hand.


Also, I was in DNegs Vlog not last year, both both of the two years before that. LOL
 
I am mildly shocked we haven't heard form anyone about the chip dumping event
They stripped the bracelet from him and might be a lifetime ban
They show hand after hand where the guy with 90% of the chips should have taken him out

-Jesse Yaginuma somehow had an extra $1M attached if he won the tournament so there was a lot more money riding heads up
There are better videos that show lots of questionable hands and in fact if you have ever played or considered yourself an avid poker fan, no way you can watch those hands and not scream foul play which bring up another angle, how did they ever think they could get away with it while the cameras were rolling and all of their hole cards were being shown to the home audience?

The stupidity of it all is just mind boggling

WSOP does not allow /facilitate final table deals. Almost all other tournament do.

But players do them all the time.

In this case, a bonus prize of $1 million was from a promotion by a 3rd party.

WSOP did the right thing in the end. They gave no bracelet, and those final two split the last two prizes in that event.

It's a terrible promotion, and former Main Event winner Joe Cada called this out the second the promotion came out. WSOP has not officially announced how long any ban will be. This year? Life?
 
Like Zegras said people chop tournaments all the time, and what happened had no effect on other players. At first I wanted to cry foul as well, but overall it's a pretty meh with what actually happened.

The two players ended up splitting an extra million between them in some fashion, seems like a pretty good business decision.

It's cheating, period and has no place in the game, only makes poker seem even sketchier to others
I understand back room deals get done, players have stakes in other players which also seems pretty shaky

Making backroom deals to chop up the prizepool is fine as long as they continue to play for the bracelet. That happens all the time. Chip dumping a 9-1 chip advantage heads up is very different. I was watching this live on PokerGo and it was very obvious that something fishy was going on. Yaginumi was consistently making the correct call or fold based on what the other guy had even when the play made zero sense. Even the announcers were saying that there is something strange going on, speculating that maybe Carroll had a live tell that Yaginumi picked up on. It's clear that they had agreed on some kind of signal that Carroll would make to indicate if he was bluffing and if he had a strong hand. That's not acceptable ever.

I pretty much completely agreed with your take when I initially saw what happened until I heard other people's perspectives and took more time to think about it.

What the two players did had no effect on any other player, and in the end they decided that splitting an extra $1 million was worth more than a bracelet that, while sentimental, is essentially worth nothing (quick google search has it at around $1,500). One could argue about the integrity of the game, but chops are pretty much the standard in regular tournaments, and again what they did they did had no effect on other players (obviously chip dumping with players still alive would be a completely different situation). One could argue about the integrity of the WSOP, and in that case they have to deal with the punishment, which I'm guessing is a ban from future WSOP events. But splitting a million seems easily worth that, and why should either of those players really care about the WSOP at the end of the day.

Now they definitely could've/should've devised a strategy to make it not look so glaringly obvious haha.

I agree with this. Going forward, I'm guessing the WSOP will amend their rules.
 

Pkoer GO coverage
Just watched an old man at the feature table fold the nuts, he held 9-6 in the BB limped into the flop, 7-8-10 on the flop, A hits the turn and big stack bets, he folds
I don't even think he knew what he was holding, sad

J-9 is the nuts.

There wasn't a big enough bet to fold the 2nd nut straight plus he didn't bet the flop, just checked it out of the BB, ridiculous
 
What was the turn out for the main event? Less than last year?

What was the turn out for the main event? Less than last year?
10,000+ last year,
Huge turnout on Day 1D, something close to 5,000 but still less than last year with a total of 8,694 total entrants over those first four days
It's 9.096 right now on the app. Players that have yet to register can do so by start on Day2D tomorrow.

So it will likely get 200-300 more.
 
9277 as of right now. Late reg is good through first four hours today, end of level 7.

Now at 9,559

I was playing in the 600 Ultra stack and table generally agreed they though it would get close to 10K but not go over. 45 minutes left in level 6 so about 2 hours 45 minutes of play time (plus a 20 minute break between levels). If you buy in at the start of level 7 you still have 60 BB and would be at about 75% of the current average stack, so still a ton of play

They're at the break before the start of level 7 - 2 and a half hours left for late reg - the 10 minutes remaining in this break, the 2 hours of level 7, and the 20 minutes of the break before level 8 begins.

Currently at 9,621 registered players
 
I busted early from the $600 Ultrastack but made my buy in back at the cash games.

My dad made it on to Day 2 in that event and is sitting around 70th out of 595 that made day 2 (out of 7,057 entries). He’s got right around 1.2 million in chips, with blinds starting today at 20K/40K with a 40K BB ante.
 
Loving the coverage on Poker Go, have watched all 6 days thus far, sometimes its a little slow but you can learn a lot watching all these folks maneuver
I enjoyed the Day 2ABC, main table when they had a guy that played almost every hand, nobody else was doing that and he was having the most fun of anyone
Doubt he could keep that up but it was a tight table and he ran a lot of hands off

6;00 today they will start Day 3 coverage over on Youtube

I can be seen occasionally in the background of the coverage of Negreanu’s table early on. Checked out that table for about 45 minutes today. He was on the secondary table, Hellmuth on the primary.

When they both had busted they were both playing the $5K Turbo bounty which was running next to where my dad was playing. For a while Negreanu was at a table with Ethan “Rampage” Lau for those that follow any of the vloggers.

My dad was seated with Barry Shulman (multiple bracelet winner and editor of Cardplayer magazine) for several hours todayS
 
The British loudmouth Kassouf who was on the 2nd feature table...it's absurd that anyone would have to suffer that kind of abuse, the poor woman next to him
I also heard him berate the dealer a couple times with things like "burn one, flop 3, how long are we going to wait?"
To me that's dealer abuse and if I were the floor man or someone in charge, I would have pulled him off the table and had a short conversation with him
Also saw him graze/touch players around him, as soon as his hands enter into my orbit, he's flat on his back no questions asked and I wouldn't hesitate
Why is he allowed to carry on like that? He makes Phil Hellmuth look like a boy scout

I thought I saw Matusow late last night on one of the outer tables, Laak and JC Tran as well
I hope they have the chip leader who is female and playing great poker, hope they feature her today, I'd like to watch how this might unfold
Several women with large chip stacks, it's time for some ladies to be a the final table and have the bigger chip sacks.

Overdosed on 10 hours of this yesterday...at first the announcer from Long Island was kind of annoying but then over 10 hours, you can tell he knows what he's talking about
Hellmuth played terrible but did get his chips in AKo vs QQ and the flop was a rainbow, turn card he hits the King and then the other guy hits a 1-outer, only Q left in the deck and Phil was "bamboozled" :lol: It's always fun to watch him play, he ran his mouth nonstop the first 30 minutes and just about gassed himself

Looking forward to Day 4, still a lot of people left
Some of these tables last night had players with 250,000 in chips and they were the low chip stacks at the table
Felt made for Mizrachi who was up to about 1M in chips and then KK vs AA, he had the Kings and he lost a ton of chips and started spiraling down to about 125-150k in chips

Thanks Zegras for putting this up
