Starting chips were 10k until 2006; 20k to 2008, 30k to 2015, 50k to 2018, and 60k since 2019.

Correct, I've actually played the Main Event with every one of those starting stacks. 10K was when it was a 1:1 ratio for all tournaments. So for a $1,500 event you got 1,500 in chips lol. I swear it was like starting off as a shortstack, particularly if you lost your first played pot.

What were the blinds and level length back then?


The $1500 in 2006 with 1500 chips started at 25/25 blinds, how stupid is that to start with 60 bb's, at least it was 1 hour levels. I somehow cashed in that. lol

I am pretty sure the Main started with 25/50 blinds and 10k chips that year, I won a freeroll to get in that.


Did Hellmuth bust the main? I never saw anything indicating he did, but he was playing the 8 game mix and ran a stack up (and then down and busted that) so either he did, he was multitabling, or he's bracelet hungry enough that he just jumped in the 8 game during dinner break or something to try to run a stack up.


Santosh winning player in ME? He has 250k.

You would think that he is smart because he is so succesful business wise and he has spent a lot of time around the best players in the world so probably learnt a lot.


Tuchman is SUCH a hard listen


Wait, this Jerry Yang in the mask and stocking cap is the same Jeryy Yang that one 50 years ago?

lol 82o from Yang no good

I mean it sounds kinda stupid and weird but when you think about it the real pay jumps are when people have way less than that.


That's one of the funniest hands I've ever seen. Yang going for it with the 82o


Racing off the 100 chips when the big blind is going to 1500 seems a bit early no?

Actually no. It makes the game more efficient and we get more hands per hour, pros love it.

No one needs to open raise 3300, it does not make any EV difference and its the same for everyone.
You can raise 2bb for 3000 or 2.3bb for 3500 or 2.7bb for 4000. We dont anything inbetween to slow the game.


Yang dusted off a lot of chips leading to his bust, go big or go home, worked once.

Weird it was a small 7 BB pot but maybe card reader error?


No wsop.com updates?


Anyone know if you can sort remaining players after country?


by DanteA k

Anyone know if you can sort remaining players after country?

Yes on pokernews chip count section but there is not all players on these first days.


Been a few card reader errors from what IÂ’ve seen.

Also godamn wish the dealers could spread the flop better. If the cards are too thick then just do it the other way, 1card at a time

Seems they are not doing it, probably to not spoil for those watching on PokerGo.

PokerNews does however provide updates.

Most of them are Kick Streamer, and they all have some commonality. I'll let you figure it out.

Whatever point you are trying to make isn’t being made because nobody has ever heard of any of these people and don’t care enough to go on some google scavenger hunt to find out.

Lol boomer. Even tho your media source is reading the newspaper and listening to radio and CNN and FoxNews on the cable TV, that does not mean most people have heard or know exactly who some of those guys are.

NelkBoys had President Trump, Elon Musk, Andrew Tate, Mike Tyson, Dana White, Snoop Dogg etc. on their podcast.

HodgeTwins are just legends of YouTube and everyone who was around internet watching content knew them from over 10 years ago because of their funny and informative videos.

Adin Ross is one of the biggest livestreamers in the world. Pulling up to 100k almost every time when he hits LIVE.

BradleyMartyn is easily one the most well known and largest audience fitness influencers on the internet.
