6.9m again at dinner break. Nice.

1.675M going into the final level of the day. Had a very rough level but I’ve spun less before.

Good News: won a flip to double up to 4M and made the pay jump. Bad news: this is the same payout bracket I went out last time I made day 6 😅

Out :(. Played a clean tournament but couldn’t fade finding 2 showdown wins total all day

The main event is wild. By day 5 it just feels like you’re entire life is just showing up to the horseshoe from 12pm-1:30am. After sleeping all day yesterday to make up for being an insomniac I almost want to play the Venetian $1600 just to get some structure back in my life.

Coming after PokerGO for putting the WSOPME behind a paywall is ridiculous. The fact that there is a way to watch all these events at all despite the economics of televised poker likely not making this worthwhile is incredible. They do a great job and 🦬 Hanks is the man.

Ancient Egypt rose and fell, The Industrial Revolution came and went, Great wars spanning generations were fought and decided, ACR has three levels of late registration left

Some site needs to make cash tables that are just all bomb pots. I’d imagine it’s too resource intensive with current hardware to solve six way 100% of the deck pots, and who doesn’t love some street poker Phillip Nagy

Is there a single poker phrase that has costed poker players more money than “it’s a coinflip at best”

Good job poker world you must be conducting yourself with the utmost integrity this week if the best drama you can cook up has to do with what Isaac Haxton is or is not wearing.

If you’ve been on a heater and start feeling like your ego is getting a little out of control just remind yourself that no matter what you accomplish in poker you will never be as famous as the Hawk Tuah girl

The number one rule of live poker is “don’t be an asshole.” It solves all the problems in the poker world. Don’t be an asshole to women in poker, don’t be an asshole tanking, don’t be an asshole with solvers open, literally just don’t be an asshole.

Is GM the only person to win WSOP POTY in only big bet events? Pretty wild if so. 🐐

WSOP POTY should be voted on like NBA and NFL MVPs. Usually it’s pretty clear who actually deserves it and it will spare us of the abomination that is Chris Ferguson looming over us holding up a couple dozen multicolored pieces of construction paper that say 449th place.

If I’m ever blindsided by the fact that I’ve been a ghost all along I’m going to flashback to the thousands of paper towel dispensers in public bathrooms that didn’t register my hands and feel very dumb

Having Ali and Nick watch quietly from the break desk is like the Patriots choosing Bledsoe over Brady

The fact that the deepest stacked tournament in the world still only has a <300 hand final table really highlights how crazy tournament poker is

These two are not playing small pots. Every hand seems to be a race to the middle of the felt.

WSOP POTY should have a multiplier with bracelets, your second bracelet gives you 2x the pts of that event, third bracelet gets 3x etc. It wouldn’t be perfect but someone winning the most bracelets getting POTY will rarely feel that incorrect and make for fun sweats at the end.
