2024 World Series of Poker May 28th to July 17th ***No Spoilers***

Chip counts at end of Day 5 are now up. Chip leader is Stephen Song at 12.3M followed by Carlos Caldas at 12.1M.

How did Lonis bust? Sucks that he's out. Foxen still in.

What happened in the hand with the asian Lu and A4? Was it against lococo A3?

Okay I found it. So flop went:
Check - Check - Bet - Call - Raise - 3bet - 4bet jam

He had a gutshot and got herocalled by middle pair, then hit the straight. Sicko, but wonder if he gave away live tells to get herocalled lightly.

Looks like they start out at the same table tomorrow. That has to be a feature for sure.

Nick and Ali are so good

lfg Lena

Thanks for posting the hh. Worst timing ever for the stream to go down

Notables to day 6:

Stephen Song
Niklas Astedt
Alex Keating
Brian Rast
Ren Lin
Kristen Foxen
Brandon Cantu
Tony Dunst
Danny Tang
Aleksejs Ponakovs
Brian Kim

I would add Joe Serock to that list.

I love that people still confuse Joe Serock with Joe Sebock

Add Joe Tehan and the other 3 women including Danielle to this list

No, that’s Joe Sebok.
Joe Serock came on the scene in 2009 or so and was often mentioned on Poker Road as he sounds like Joe Sebok.
4.5 M in live earnings including a 3rd at the NBC HU

Is he the rapper

The on-demand video has the missing footage where the stream cut out during the Lococo A3/A4 hand. Day 5, Part 1, Level 2, hand starts at 1:01:20. Turn was a blank but Lu rivered a pair of 4s. Brutal.

OMG. That was insane

For an hour or so yesterday, it was like watching an old ESPN highlights show

So everyone rooting for foxen right ? And everyone rooting against the water waster rast ? I like that we have a villain and someone to root for.

Anyone else think foxen has a huge leg up because her husband Alex is watching the streams and feeding her hand histories ? Not sure if that's the case and whether he's playing in other tournies, but I could imagine them talking some serious poker strategy .

Add Ho Lee to the list as well. The headlines write themselves if he ships.

If you are rooting against Rast for that reason I’d think you’d also be rooting against Foxen.

Rooting for Foxen and Lena900.

I guess Dunst too even though he gives me arrogant punchable face vibes. Kind of impressive that he keeps going deep in the main like this.

EDIT - There's the "I like wearing suits" attitude and there's the "I want you to know that I'm better than you because I wear suits" attitude.

You think nobody else has a group of friends that are high level players feeding them hands/strategy??

Rooting for these to make FT:

Stephen Song
Brian Rast
Ren Lin
Kristen Foxen
Tony Dunst
Danny Tang
Aleksejs Ponakovs
Brian Kim

Yeah I mean this as well as the fact that strategy for the main event specifically so much more dependent on table dynamics than almost any other tournament that exists. There's only so much Alex can provide that Kristen doesn't know herself since she's also a great player.

Alex can't provide much on table dynamics unless he's sitting there on the rail watching every hand, so Kristen is in the drivers seat with Alex providing input like any other friend group is for the other players.

Lol one to root for is the Lu of course. 4bet bet jamming with a gutshot, 5betting 72s.
