2024 World Series of Poker May 28th to July 17th ***No Spoilers***
The 2024 WSOP will take place at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas from May 28 to July 17, 2024, with the Main Event running from July 3 to July 17. The Main Event – poker’s undisputed freezeout world championship – will have four starting days, beginning on Wednesday, July 3. Players may also register directly on Day 2.
If you get the chance watch the $100k final table in its entirety. Even better if you somehow don't know who won yet. Some real wild runouts.
Isn't this "Big Huni" guy the dude who started a go fund me from a private jet to the Bahamas, to play a 100K, asking for 10k for a funeral
A refresher
The 250k is today! Biggest buyin of the series. What are the odds on isildur placing 3rd, 50/50?
Last year it had 69 nice entries. Wonder if we hit more this time around! Btc is up a lot in the past year, but down in the last couple of weeks (don't check today's chart if you're long). The 100k got 112 entries for what it's worth, which was up from 93 in 2023. So I guess 69+ is to be expected in 250 now 😀 O/U line 83?
Chris Brewer shipped it last year. Wonder if it got him out of makeup heh
I find the max late reg lists interesting in these buy ins, hard to imagine they sell 80% to reg with 10bb ?
Maybe I'm wrong
With regards to the accidental button muck, marathur1 would own dnegs post so he probably makes EV, also remember it happening in main few years back with a Greek guy who went on to make ft who had AK and opener had opened/limped aa
max late registering gives you a huge icm advantage over registering at the start.
Blom chip leader with 8 left. 110 big blinds. Next closest has 37 I think it showed. I hope he ships this and then the $250k. Would be one of the most epic runs in a long time
blom was as card dead as you could be in the final 3. i don't think he even got a pair or a big ace. his limping from BTN and SB was interesting.

Lol no one is more than 15% to make the final 3 of the $250K.
How did you know I have Aspergers?????
Probably some good players had/have it. Maybe Stu Unger. It helps with math and concentration, and sometimes with feel understanding how other people are thinking.
The final 3 in the $100K are all pre-GTO players, but not pre-boom like Ivey and Negreanu. Blom doesn't seem real GTO style, but not sure about the others.
That is more like winning to ME in the old days than the current ME with like 10K entries.
Good luck to Viktor in the 250k!! Gotta be one of the greatest parlay runs in wsop
I know what you mean here, but I think you're phrasing it strangely. You can't have an ICM "advantage" over other players from different stages in the tournament.
I think what you mean is that the 10-20bbs you get at max late reg are worth more than a full stack at the start of the tournament in terms of ICM. This is not an "icm advantage over registering at the start" necessarily, for example if you register at the start and are capable of accumulating 30bbs by max late reg level.
The EV of a 10-15bbs stack at max late reg is certainly worth more EV than a starting stack in level 1.
One consideration in something like a $250k is that the "get there early to soak up the dead money" element doesn't really apply like it would in a $1k. That's maybe an argument for why max late reg is an especially strong move in the super tough fields. The edges are slim in general, so getting into the field as close the the ITM spots as possible may be a sound strategy as opposed to getting there early and eeking out razor thin edges against killers.
One way to look at it is that if you late reg, you are getting an overlay from the dead money in the prize pool from the people who have already busted out.
Blom is last in the 250K, down to 1/3 of his starting stack. No one has busted out.
I saw a woman, Kathy Lehne. Looked her up and she has $380m, started her own company. So apparently some amateur deadish money in it.
Kathy isn't a fish btw.

There's an inherent advantage in late regging because people have already busted in the earlier levels. https://www.pokernews.com/strategy/is-la...
As for maxing ROI, I'm not sure if the advantage gained is more than the value you get from players being so bad in the beginning when deep, but it's almost certainly better from an hourly rate perspective to max late reg.

I think we agree in concept. Maybe it's just a matter of terminology or definitions, but I would not use the word "advantage" or the phrase "advantage over other players." ICM has nothing to do with gaining or measuring an "advantage" over other players. It's a measure of the value of your stack at a certain point in the tournament.
As the PokerNews article you linked says: "Late registration doesn’t give you an edge against other players, but it does give you an ICM boost, in other words your stack would be worth more in real money terms right away if you joined the tournament late."
You're just entering with a stack that has a lot of value, even though it is short. This does not give you an advantage over players that registered level 1, and it is not necessarily more advantageous than registering level 1. (Example, if I reg level 1, I can have a 30-40bb stack by the start of the max late reg entry level, you cannot.) It just means that you are entering the tournament with a short but valuable stack. Your short stack is worth as much as any other 10-15bb stack (no matter when they entered) and it is worth less than any larger stack (no matter when they entered). Obviously the stack is worth more than busted stacks, but ICM has nothing to do with gaining an advantage.
It's about value not advantage, which are not the same thing. It's not a comparison of the value of stacks based on when they entered, it's a measure of the value of your stack at the moment you enter. But this does not give you an advantage over other players remaining in the tournament in any way.
I hope Viktor has 100% of himself and only came to Vegas with a few k for fun and is now just parlaying his way to the top like in the old days.
1.5k > 41k in DC
10k > 28k in PLO8
50k > 952k in 50kNL
100k > At least 512k now in 100kNL
Love to see it.
i have heard similar stories here that this is near what is true , heard a couple stories at the tables he showed up with 25k and is running it up. couple others claim he has a backer. its fun to speculate either way..... only he really knows.
also Huni is a luckbox
Another "Final Table" being shown but starting with 5 left. Thats only around half the final table Pokergo.
