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.
Given this has become the thread for PokerGo stream watchers and the main event is about to start can a mod add a NO SPOILERS to the thread title? We had someone drop a spoiler when the main was HU a couple years back (Aldermirs win) and would hate for it to happen again.
So I guess WSOP main table draws are completely random of course.
But out of those they pick one intresting table to the stream so that cant be random, they choose something whit a big name and intresting players right?
But when someone busts from stream table and they need a new player for TV table then they might choose a famous player in there instead of making it random?
Last year Isildur1 got filled to Helmuths tv table on main but could have been just luck tho

Good idea.
I typically also post No Spoiler reminders as streams are about to start when we reach later stages of the tournament.

This would literally violate gaming laws. All seat draws are to be random, and that includes when a table breaks.
Yeah they just swap the feature table at the next possible opportunity when the big name busts or moves
The cards are in the air for the 2024 WSOP Main Event !!
2 bustouts on the very first hand, TT v 88 on a T8x8x board and 66 v KQ on a JT6xA board
One hell of a thing to write in a vacuum I know, but I feel like 66 shouldn't go bust on JT6xA on the first hand of the ME lol. It's 300bb deep
edit: ok full HH here
Yikes to the 66 hand losing to an 8 outer str8 draw but not the TT losing to a one outer for quad 8's? Strange 😵
Methinks the "yikes" comes from the notion of calling off with bottom set on that board (Karnofsky bet/called flop, called turn, then jammed river) – i.e. there is a version of that hand here Issod gets away from it.
Obviously, the quad 8s is the tougher beat, and pretty much a no-question, no-doubt cooler.
There was reporting on the 25K PLO that Rast was well ahead until he ran into a big cooler from Eldridge. That appears to be a flopped set of jacks for Eldridge over a flopped set of 3's for Rast. Is that really considered a 'big cooler' in PLO? I know it was HU, but set over set is quite common in PLO and being able to get away from bottom and even middle sets in PLO is key to a winning strat. Not saying he can get away from it HU but does anyone know the exact flop? J 7 3 rainbow type of flop is completely different than a Jc10c3x type of flop.

I don't know the hand, but based on how you described it it definitely sounds like a cooler.
Sets are strong in PLO, even bottom set. They're not basically the nuts like in hold'em, but you're definitely putting in some good money most of the time. If they were playing heads up, then playing for stacks would almost certainly be standard on most flops, especially being <100bbs like in most tourney situations.

If I am reading the HH correct, guy with 66 jammed river and guy with KQ called with the nuts.

Bottom set is definitely not strong in PLO. HU is different of course but in a normal ring game bottom set is about the same as bottom pair in NLHE. You are almost never making money with a full house when you hold bottom set.
