Are they still on a 30 min play to TV air delay? We are in an AirBnB apartment so I haven't been watching much TV lately.

I used to follow it closely for years but this year honestly forgot about the WSOP entirely until i saw the story about the guy who got DQ'd for mooning the table.

Always following. Watching whatever is free this year. Not a fan of having 3 different pay for streams and getting less overall content.

In the ME love watching Hellmuth play like shite and then berate a seasoned vet (of course he is clueless to the guy's ability).

Most of the players I was anti-sweating are gone (Hellmuth, Negreanau, Randall Emmett).

At this point just rooting for what's best for the game: any female. Especially any female that is dating/married to a pro. I guess Bellande winning would be great also but watching him making jizz faces while getting massaged is cringy as frick.


In other events, still amazed at the beat Josh Arieh put on Yockey in 2-7 TD. A quick search will show you if you haven't seen it. Gotta be the sickest televised beat ever.

Gus Hansen making a little run. Will be good for ratings if he can make it deep.

Definitely on a 30 minute delay.

Each segment runs around 3-4 hours and is up on Espn 3 for a few days after. First 2 segments have already gone up and been taken down but the 3rd one is still there.

Hellmuth tried to represent a straight and bet 32K almost half his stack and lost on his bluff. Was left with less than 20K chips and was mad that the player actually called the 32K on the river. Fawkin moron

Anybody see the bizarre disqualifications on Day 1c?

One guy tried to steal another player's chips and the other involved a dude going blind all in, then stripping down naked, mooning the table and throwing his shoes at his fellow players.

Is everyone still taking 10 minutes for every decision?

I've been watching it a lot since it started. I hate that I have to go back and forth between ESPN and Poker GO though. Its been fun to watch, and yesterday was prime Hellmuth on display. Gets snapped call on his bluff and berates the dude for another 20 minutes.

I like Bellande a lot, and I hope Kelly Minkin makes another deep run. She ended her day 2 around 400k in chips.

eh, He bluff shoved the river. Opponent had around 65% of his stack.

He gave little thought to what he actually repped. He really can't rep a straight there as he is never jamming a one card straight on a paired board. He's definitely repping a boat and that doesnt make any sense either sense he would almost certainly bet less for value unless he is targeting a one card straight exactly.

He literally used this logic: "Im mother fricking Phil Hellmuth and youre a donkey so you can't call." I mean calling 35s pre oop to a 3 bet is a losing play unless other factors allow it.

I wish, just once, someone at the table would verbally put his arrogant arse in check. Dude was way out of line. Completely misprofiled his opponent who is a vet on the MSPT. His snap call was right on too as Phil's line was absolute dog shite.

Apparently Negreanu said he apologized later, but I didn't see any apology anywhere. Its obnoxious to watch it happen over and over again, but he is one of the greatest poker players of all time and makes for great television.

Not sure if serious. Not even close. Poker includes a gamut of games, most of which, Hellmuth isn't anything special in.

He is amazing at large NL Holdem fields that are riddled with amateurs whom he can exploit.

He would easily get outclassed in high stakes NL Holdem cash games. He doesn't even play PLO.

There's a reason he didn't even enter the 50K Poker Players Championship. He'd be a dog and he knows this. Don't buy his act. It's all just a part of his brand (which he has done very well with) and his schtick.

Whatever he was trying to represent you dont bet over half your stack on a bluff that early in the tournament.

Some people at the feature table are still hollywooding but its gotten a lot better. I wish they would implement the time banks at the main event, but I don't think they ever will.
