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.
SB vs BB. Villain open preflop, lead flop and turn, shove river.
I think if villain has an over pair or Ax he would check call river instead of shoving.
If you are in Mateos position holding QT and no T hit the river what are you doing against a shove?
Honest question what are you doing holding AT, QT, KT against a shove if a blank card hit the river?
It's obviously a much different story if the T doesn't hit the river, that doesn't need to be stated. Unimproved it's a pretty gross spot. Probably still a call if it's a total brick but idk.
WTF just happened to Mateos? is there some sort of dynamic that between him and Bttec we don't know about. How does he call down with top pair and then fold getting 3-1 when he hits trips after committing half his stack. Makes no sense.
This is what your post looks like if he folds the best hand there.
Tollerene in an ICM spot most only dream of.
No way in the world Mateos folds trips against a straight.
Break Time:
Everyone at the table. Hey Ben you want to chop?
That was gross. lol
That feels so much grosser than just hitting an ace or a king
It bothers me more than it should that Hunichen feels the need to tell his rail what the all-in hands are when he's not even involved.
Interesting observation I made the other day. Was talking about fibonacci sequence and realized 55 is a fibonacci number.
This year happens to be the 55th main event and I was curious so i did some backtesting on the fibonacci numbers...
1st 2nd and 5th main event winner were Johnny Moss's 3 wins one of only two players to win 3 times
3rd main event was won by Amarillo Slim, the guy who brought Hold Em to Las Vegas
8th main event winner was Doyle Brunson and his back to back win
13th main event winner was Jack Strauss legendary win, the origination of the phrase "chip and a chair", also the year Ungar made the FT without even being at the table
21st main event winner was the first ever non American player to win it Mansour Matloubi
34th main event was... Chris MoneyMaker's win
If I had to guess it's going to be a monumental WSOP. Perhaps a women wins one or a mainstream pro, or some other remarkable event that cements this year's poker main event in history.
Also there is another (two) factor(s) that i backtested that makes me believe the winner will have a dominant performance at the final table. (Hint: 2015, 2006, 1997, 1988) (Second hint: 1988, 2000, 2012).
The power of Fibonacci ! Hope this years main event causes a 2nd poker boom
78% of the chips in play 3-handed.
It's not impossible to see player imploding with a 4 or 5 to 1 chip lead, but I don't think it will happen to a Nose Bleed crusher.
EDIT: This guy loss a $1.7 million in a session against Viktor and remained emotion neutral to come back and play the next day to win it all back.
Who's the 3rd guy that's been doing commentary the last few days? I never catch the name
(Not Platt or Hanks)
EDIT - Nick Wright. Interesting
Wouldn't think translate to bubble play being much tighter and thus, not as interesting/fun to watch? Plus, don't a lot of these guys sell considerable pieces of themselves? Bubbling a 250k where you only have 50% of yourself is right on par with bubbling a 100k that you have 100% of yourself, no?
Spoiler warning: Correct bubble play in any tournament is tight and not fun to watch.
This was a little earlier, and not necessarily bad play, but von Kriegensberg got knocked out flat calling with KK, presumably looking for a squeeze, and then slow playing top set.
Santhosh Suvarna vs Side-saddle Ben HU for the bracelet!
For some reason I think it would be funny if Santosh wins his 2nd bracelet here.
Ben86 play really good big stack all night and then gets into headsup with even stacks, whale raises turn and 2x pot shoves river for the first time during the day when there are 48 straight combinations available and ben ends up making a GTO hero call losing the chance of first bracelet?
Panic with no time banks and tired after deep live run?
Maybe the math nerd did randomize and call against mega whale overbet nut shove?

Or it's just simply a bad call. V would never shove here with less than nuts.
Let's go Santhosh
Did they say how much of the 50k PPC they are going to stream? The stream starts at 10 pm EST. Do we know if they are they only going to show 1 or 2 levels of the non final table days like previous years or are they starting late to cut out breaks showing till the end of each day? I don't see them streaming 4 straight days for 8-10 hours but I am hopeful since it's my favorite event of the year.
exactly. I also think knowing when to rely on GTO and when to play an exploitative style is a skill some of these these gto wizards do not have.
player tendencies, knowing your opponent, etc et could have been super helpful information if Ben studied his opponents while at the FT but something tells me he instead chose to to rely on a rng decision.
EDIT:
My above post is just for the final hand. He obviously played amazing throughout the tournament. I just dont like that call.
Maybe he didnt scout any info on Santosh game, should have info of the table whale in such a big spot. I would imagine there is not a lot 2x+ overbet shove bluffs from Santosh during his high roller career.
And online wizard cant get any live reads of amateur and just snaps it off, I think he had still few timebanks left?
