1382 people will get paid. If you finish 1383 you get nothing.


1st place is 10 million

Grinder is an all time great player, but to say he runs better than everyone else would be an understatement. This guy is on a perpetual 2006 Jamie Gold main event heater

Good player, no doubt, but seems to be getting more than his share of good boards.

Grinder is definitely on one of if not the GOAT heaters. to go straight into the HOF after winning the ME will probably never happen again.

Speaking of i HATED Jaime Gold's run i was rooting hard for Allen Cunningham that year.

Just watched Alex Foxen run it up day 2d. He’s making all the right reads.

So can anyone explain how Puri only lost 80k on this hand other than straight up collusion/shared stack softplay with James?

James should’ve gone for more value. Straight Flush, especially K high shoulder be somehow looking to get as much in as possible. However, homeboy that lost was disgusted he didn’t raise into it.

It’s interesting because the same card on the turn made both hands. For Puri, there are quite a few hands that beat his boat.

My thought was that he was trying to entice a big river bet from James.
Error. After James called the flop with a paired board, puri wasn’t going to lose him when a nine rolls off. If he bets the turn though, he’s likely getting check-raised, although he probably wouldn’t have minded that too much.

Very possible his opponent has QJ or J10, I think he was hoping to entice a bet on the river with the check on the turn, but there were just so many hands that could beat him after that river, at that point a raise can end your tournament.

Sometimes you can just feel it like sometimes the monster is under the bed

He had a hunch

As played raising in early position, there's 6 possible hand combinations he can have that beat us:
3 combos of QQ
QdJd
JdTd
KsTs

Meanwhile there are 53 combos of AK, AQ, AJ, AsTs, As5s, As4s, As3s, As2s, KQ, KJs, KTs, QJs, JTs, J9s, TT, 99 that we beat that he's likely calling a river raise with

And we chop with exactly 1 hand he's capable of raising with in early position: Jd9d(reach, but he did raise with KT suited here)

He's ahead of >90% of potential hands that will call a raise. Just calling makes absolutely no sense, it's a clear raise and then fold the 8%(excluding hands he's folding to the raise/we already beat anyway) of time you get 3bet. Not betting the turn was equally as bad fwiw, that 9s improved so many holdings the other guy could have and him checking behind makes his hand either complete air or a boat

I believe the bubble player gets free entry to next year's main event.
