WSOP 2025 (1 Viewer)

Nice to see a woman (Leo Margets) make the final table...first time it's happened since 1995. It would be great for the growth of poker if she could win, so I'm rooting for her. If not her, it's hard to not root for Kenny Hallaert. The top 3 I'm rooting for are those 2 and Michael Mizrachi. I loved the way he plays.
 
Final 9 are set!

Really good table.

I watched Wasnock go all in with JJ vs AA a couple days back and he spiked the Jack and managed to stay alive, I would not have put him on the final table but good for him
Wasnock is on the amateur side, lives in Seattle, only cashed a couple times in the WSOP, played the ME one time about 10 years ago, and he's one of the oldest at the table, at least 50

Hallaert, Margets and Mizrachi make up a lot of experience in these tournaments.
Margets is the first female in 30 years to make the final table, Barbara Enright '95

There isn't a clear runaway(chip stacks), that kind of makes the final table super competitive, Wasnock got healthy later on Day 8.
Day of rest will do him a world of good and age shouldn't really be a factor on the final table at this point.

For Mizrachi, this is his chance to do something most of the pros and even decorated bracelet winners like Negranu, Ivey and Hellmuth rarely if ever get this deep
Hellmuth won in like '89 when a lot less folks signed up for the Main Event, he's never made a deep run in the ME since I started watching around 2000. Despite his 17 bracelets

Dunaway and Wasnock are kind of the wildcards at the final table, should be very entertaining
 
Margets actually was at the table when Hellmuth made his goofy entrance into the tournament with his paint huffer look. He immediately identified her to the rest of the table as a really strong player. Fun to see her make this run.

Interesting for the final table there are three people in their 30s, five people in their 40s, and one 50 year old dude.

What happened to all those young hotshot dudes in their 20s that usually hit the final table.
I agree, it's refreshing to see some of the 40+ crowd on the final table, doesn't appear like there is anyone trying to be the youngest to ever win the ME
There are exceptions but many of the ME winners over the past 20+ years don't always go on to multiple bracelets.

The professionals IMHO should not 3-bet as often and realize thru many hands they can replay off Poker Go coverage that a lot of these 3-bets involve Ace-suited or AQo/AJo near the button
I know limping is frowned upon but this might be the best spot to try it a few times and not have to shove all in for a coin flip pre-flop which brings up another point I want to discuss. it would appear many of the players do not trust their skills post flop where as I believe Mizrachi could be the best post flop player left but can he ever see a flop?

It's too quick all in and I think several of the remaining players do not trust their post flop skills.
Steer clear of the all in pre flop if you can avoid it

Speaking as an amateur who used to play pretty regularly in deep stack tournaments in fields with professionals,* the bold was always my strategy against the known pros.

*There were actually two pros that invited me into their prize sharing/chop agreement over time when they realized I could play disciplined enough. They were very adamant and clear that my two "musts" for my play to be able to chop with them was that I played only small pots in the beginning of the tournament playing only A10suited or better and that if I got up against a known pro after the cutoff that I either folded or shoved.

That brings up some questionable practices, would be nice to know who has what stakes in which players right now
I would like the practice of staking the pros to be limited...I guess there is no way to stop it but that cheapens the stakes here at the end
I don't think the amateurs have anyone staking them
The only thing we ever kick around back home is how much we would all go in to stake whoever the best of us is and send them to Vegas
We talked about 25% and 25% from a couple of us, the actual player puts up 50% and chop it up that way but those of us with a 25% stake would not be playing

Just seems like an amateur in the instance you describe is going to be at a huge disadvantage if Mizrachi lets say has an agreement with one or two at the table
So now the 3-bet feels like a way for players to communicate even more with each other than I initially thought

I still think the pros would be best served to try and get to the flops before committing all their chips unless they have KK or AA

Yeah the side agreements always complicate things.

I wasn't trying to get too far into the weeds with my posts about the nuances and ethics of chop agreements, but posted it instead to more so explain that as an amateur (albeit I think I was a pretty good player in my own right at this time) that no chance was I going to knowingly try to outplay a pro post-flop so I was always quick to shove or fold at or near the final table in deep stack events. And that most pros knew this is what I was going to do because it's likely my best play.

I also wanted to point out other things happening at the WSOP
Last night there was a 6 handed tournament with a slew of pros that had already made the money
Matasow was hovering around 10th overall and yes he is kind of a sad sight to many that don't know the whole story since the early 2000s and his verbal abuse to Raymer
Erik Lindgren, yes that guy, he was in the top 30 and I have seen him on numerous tournament boards, I thought he dug himself a hole so deep he would never crawl out of it
And Negranu was of course right around where Lindgren was, Top 30

I think the price was $10,000 to enter this tournament, same amount as the ME but you stand a much better chance of interacting with them at these tournaments
Also they were seated in an area where it feels like you could just walk right up and watch from a short distance, there weren't any rails like at the feature tables
It's possible security won't let you wander around there but it sure seems like they are more accessible there.

Negranu is the only one left I see now, 17th/27 players remaining,
I'm sure his YT-Vlog will be all over that, he's still trying to win Player of the Year and has made a number of deep runs this summer

Mizrachi apparently no longer plays tournaments full time.
He claims he had not entered a poker tournament since he competed at the WSOP last year
He also did not enter another WSOP event since the PPC he won on June 28th...did have a charity event he played and that was it
I find that interesting that he no longer considers himself full time at poker
 
I don't mind Kassouf, and it seems very rare for him to be inappropriate towards other players or the dealers. Martin Kabrhel on the other hand... he talks more than Kassouf and also will take extended time on EVERY decision. He's miles ahead the next guy when it comes to most annoying to have at your table.
They're both awful, but I will give the edge to Kabrhel

My defense of Kassouf clearly didn't age well over the weekend. It's almost like he saw Kabrhel stealing his thunder and went even more crazy than before.

I didn't know about Kassouf before this thread. So, watching his recent antiics neutrally, he's pretty insufferable and I do think he breaks the rule about not harassing or insulting other players. And to have the clock called on you that many times is just poor, poor etiquette if not directly against the rules.

Lindgren has been running hot lately. As you alluded to, he did have to declare bankruptcy after being i believe millions in debt, primarily from sports betting. Earlier this year he won an invitational satellite to get a seat at the Million Dollar Cash game that Hustler Casino runs on their live stream. Caveat was that he had to play I believe at least 6 or 8 hours on the stream. When all was said and done he turned his $25K buy in for the satellite into $1.283 million. He hasd I believe 6 cashes so far this year in the WSOP.

Maybe he'll be able to pay off the mountain of debt he's accumulated and the countless poker pros he's screwed over.

He was getting a lot of money from Full Tilt and I think he even got some loans post Black Friday but don't hold me to it.
Regardless, Howard Lederer demanded repayment of the loans and Lindgren ignored all his texts and phone calls
It would seem like the payments stopped coming in but he was already heavily leveraged and was clearly banking on those monthly payments never ending from Full Tilt
He enters a gamblers rehab center, they help him to restructure payments and his debt but in the end he files Bankruptcy
$10M+ in debts and less than $50k in assets, happened in 2015 and I can only imagine how many times he had to be looking over his shoulder
I wonder what the rehab center thinks of his profession now? Would seem as though he is back on the wagon
 
Eesh, that's all Lindgren? He always seemed so level-headed.

Both he and Chris Ferguson - two players I really respected when I was learning to play - seem to have aged poorly.
 
Interesting for the final table there are three people in their 30s, five people in their 40s, and one 50 year old dude.

What happened to all those young hotshot dudes in their 20s that usually hit the final table.

Playing DFS instead probably

Haven't read the thread, Kassouf seems like an enormous ***** but the rulings against him got ridiculously bad

What makes you say this?

The clips I watched made the rulings seem reasonable. From my perspective, he's in the Draymond/Suh bucket where all benefits of the doubt are lost.

If what I have seen is correct he was given ten seconds to consider a 3m chip shove for twice the pot for his tournament life. That is in no way reasonable. I am probably in the top couple of percentiles of how quickly I act but I'd need at least a minute to mull that hand over in that spot. Yes he is far too slow in a lot of mundane spots but you can't just treat every decision in the same way

On Thursday, during the dinner break, after his repeated stalling in situations where there was no decision to be made, they put a 10 second clock on him for all decisions, which I thought was extreme. 30 seconds would have made more sense.

On Friday, they left it up to the other players to call the clock on him. There was one time where someone called the clock after around 30-40 seconds, most of them were several minutes.

Free on Youtube right now
Mizrachi was ALL IN with AKo and Wasock had KK
I won't ruin the fun from there but you can rewind it on Youtube, that feed also went in the toilet fora good 15-20 minutes and then clicked back on.
Not sure how long this feed will last

We end up getting live coverage basically all day for the first half of the Final Table - by the time Ali and Shulman start it's almost over, 4 were down already
I had a feeling it was going to go quickly and Mizrachi gets it rolling thru Wasnock who should have eliminated him with KK vs AKo
It's a minor miracle that Wasnock is still standing and actually 2nd in chips, really the only person standing in the way of Mizrachi who has like 75% or more of the chips on the table

-Interesting that play is halted with 4 players, 2 of them short stacked and they have all night to think about it.
Dunaway has nothing to hold his head down about but Kenny Hallaert on the other hand will be kicking himself for calling down Mizrachi, had to be a better spot for Hallaert and he blew it
It likely will be good for the game of poker if Mizrachi were to win and enter some rare air for ME and PPC winner, especially the same year.
Negranu by the way won the same event last year to pick up his 7th bracelet after a 10 year drought at the WSOP

-The thing with Mizrachi is I don' think he is really playing that well. He was basically all in when it was down to 18, less than 3 BB left and was just about out of the tournament and somehow he was able to spin that back up to 10, 15, 20 BB and maneuver himself. He also has won many coin flips at this point, also some hands where he is a 3:1 dog pre-flop, not really where you want to go all in but he's pulled it out in the river several times on the biggest hands. Once he doubled up thru Wasnock, he was off to the races. At that point he was the chip leader with $150M, now he is approaching $450M in chips, he can do whatever he wants. I doubt he will fold and sit back, more likely to be the executioner when the short stacks try and shove.

Wasnock should lay back and allow the short stacks to bust out, then face Mizrachi heads up and try to get his chips in with the best hand he can find. Mizrachi likely to call him with just about any 2 cards should they end up H2H for the bracelet. Part of me is pulling for Wasnock to at least even the chip stacks out a little and then whatever happens, so be it.
All poker pros roaming around the Horseshoe and Paris must be salivating watching Mizrachi amass all those chips

Side note-Mizrachi was apparently out until 8am at the clubs on his "day off" before the final table, perhaps why he was going all in so quickly
I expect him to party again last night/this morning and stumble his way back to the final table.
They need to spread the 4 players out as well, Mizrachi was turning right into Wasnock at the end of the last session, physical intimidation :lol:

Go Wasnock Go!
Hall of Fame day today for Mizrachi, he should enjoy it

Dude was clubbing until 8 AM? At two years older than me after what should be a strenuous mental grind at the table for life changing money?

I don't know whether to be impressed by him or embarrassed for him.

His good friend, cough cough, Daniel Negranu was discussing it more than once on his Vlog which plays on Youtube and gets a ridiculous number of views vs say whatever PokerGo launches as a daily recap video of the Main Event which they've done going back to Day 1A.

Negranu will get 3-4x the amount of views for one of his daily rewinds. Some of it is very interesting and some of it is rather boring and makes him look like an egotistical maniac in between his charming ways. You get the sense some of the other pros would prefer he put the phone/camera down when he approaches them.

His last couple videos, at least one of them mentions how late Mizrachi was out until...why it's his business to broadcast I don't know but i doubt Mizrachi would be embarrassed
He said to the lady doing the interviews that he has his way of doing things and its hard to explain...he could have been wired from the ME, it wears on some players and they need a release
Phil Ivey to my knowledge use to go play craps often between poker sessions at the WSOP
It's a form of gambling Ivey doesn't have to think much about and can just relax

I imagine Mizrachi likes to drink to blow off some steam, no idea if he's an occasional drinker that lets loose or a daily "grinder" but due to the high stakes involved, my guess is he needed to let loose and if he was asleep by 8-9am and got 4-5 hours of solid sleep even if he was late to the tables, might have served him best. Maybe the adrenaline rush once he leaves the tables is just too much to fall right asleep.

Due to the PokerGO issues, I was able to catch most of yesterday's action on YouTube as mentioned which was really nice. Mizrachi is on a crazy run of cards to say the least. Obviously AK besting KK stands out but he also played numerous other large pots where he was behind until the river and then sucked out. Once Halbert had top pair vs. Mizrachi's middle pair and Grinder made 2 pair on the river. That's the one MoP mentioned where Halpert called a 60M bet on the river with top pair. Then there was another very large pot where Mizrachi was behind the entire way but made a flush after the turn and river made a 4-flush on the board and Grinder had the Q of the same suit in his hand. Once he built his giant chip lead, he's been raising constantly and just punishing the small stacks right and left, which is to be expected. I don't see any way he doesn't win this now, but stranger things have happened I suppose.

I was on the Vlog in 2022 and 2023. Started Day 2 of OM8 with DNegs on my right. Have a great pic of it.
I'll have to dig this up
That's awesome

-He's a great poker ambassador and he must be raking it in with his social media presence, he's a brand ambassador I would say on top of just general poker.
I think other pros that are more reserved or quiet about their lives might not appreciate all of his constant camera work.
He likes to discuss hands with specific players when he's off the tables, it's great for viewers but other pros might not appreciate it the same way.

-He had Gus Hansen on his right when he was filming on a break from the 6-man the other night, that was an interesting exchange.
Hansen was one of my favorites and especially during High Stakes Poker, looks like they are good friends

This has been one of the more entertaining Main Events that I can recall since some of the 2000s when the field kept expanding and the payouts kept rising
I've also enjoyed a lot of the behind the scenes and updates on Negranu's YT channel, it's worth thumbing thru his videos, things you won't see on other poker shows
 
Daniel Negranu was discussing it more than once on his Vlog which plays on Youtube and gets a ridiculous number of views
I was on the Vlog in 2022 and 2023. Started Day 2 of OM8 with DNegs on my right. Have a great pic of it.
I'll have to dig this up
That's awesome

-He's a great poker ambassador and he must be raking it in with his social media presence, he's a brand ambassador I would say on top of just general poker.
I think other pros that are more reserved or quiet about their lives might not appreciate all of his constant camera work.
He likes to discuss hands with specific players when he's off the tables, it's great for viewers but other pros might not appreciate it the same way.

-He had Gus Hansen on his right when he was filming on a break from the 6-man the other night, that was an interesting exchange.
Hansen was one of my favorites and especially during High Stakes Poker, looks like they are good friends

If recall correctly, first time it was just reading off the names he was playing against while driving to wsop. So that ones in the beginning. Lol. He botched my last name.


The next year, I was sitting next to him to start a day 2 again. And got on film after he asked the table a question, which i dont remember lol. But he pinned me as having the old guy answer to the question.
Had several friends text me right away that I was on it.

Played about 6 hours with him five years ago in the 3k horse. We both love hockey and talked hockey the entire time. Good times.
