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

Only while they’re 10 handed

what you guys all disliking serock for?

yeah realise that, absurd fold

Coelho tanking is getting annoying

They are frequently off by one or two zeros.

I also missed this...
Listen I wanna be part of the mob, but I thought we liked him?

I mean I hate his face and tank top, I don't need that big of a push

Ahhhhhhhh…. Relief…..

His face and tank top is why

Dank

hes back

I'd love to see some ICM on just shoving QQ there. When you have a steep payout structure, ICM favors more risky play, not less.

All things considered, looks like a fun FT. Griff has a decent chip lead, but not enough to where the ending is a foregone conclusion.

Something for everyone in terms of sweats. You have your high roller reg (Kim), your online wizard (Astedt), your seasoned circuit pro (Serock), and two other guys who have been grinding for a long time at lower profile (Tamayo and Sagle). A few Euros who I'm not too familiar with.

Didn't get the A-list names like Rast and Foxen, but if you were picking final tables with 100 left, this is still a good runout.

I'm more invested than I was last year. Hoping for a fun show in the coming days.

Bump hehe

Lena is fun to watch play. Never tanks, no crazy antics or staredowns. Just seems to have a plan in place for any possible outcome. Definitely rooting for him out of everyone left.

It has definitely been better than last year, even without A listers making the final. Rooting for Astedt or Kim to win.

That’s true. Only kings or aces calling probably. A big stack would call Ace-king or maybe jacks

Random question. Do the main event final table players get their payout in cash, chips, or check? Imagine flying home with a seven figure check in your bag. Lol.

I don't know but I am sure all options are available to them (including wire).

Lol @ Tamayoya. What a nit, not a good player clearly.

I mean if it was 2008 and there was huge money to get into november nine with sponsor shop deals, then that fold starts to make sense.

But in this case he just loses money with that fold.

You guys clearly don't understand high-level poker thinking. Foxen was simply balancing her punting range. This will allow her to make this move 20 years from now without concern for opponents reading patterns into her play.

Maybe we were wrong. Maybe Lena900 is actually the hottest running player of all time. Barely plays live tournaments. Plays the largest field main event of all time. Makes final table.

It’s actually mind blowing that he’s made it there. It really reminds me of when Ivey made it in 2008

Brian Kim has 30% chance of winning the main event. (He had vivid dream of ME final table +30 times and won 30% of time, he told this in interview, +30 final table simulations is decent sample size)

Lena900 has another 30% because he is just so good.

And the last 40% is some random donkey winning it.

anyone at the FT besides kim and lena who is a crushing pro?

Probably the worst play I've ever seen in the Main Event and there have been some doozies. Tamayo is playing like a guy who is not trying to win, only to ladder up a spot or two. He just gave away some free chips. Foxen's raise was her worst play of the entire online stream. She could only beat a bluff and no way is Serock bluffing there! That is, if she was paying attention. This guy had been showing down the best hand on all his raises. In fact pretty much nobody but Sagle had made any meaningful bluffs all day. When Foxen stays in her seat and remains focused she plays good. When she is laughing and joking with the other players, and keeps getting up between hands to visit the rail, she becomes lost and confused. She could have easily made the final table (and maybe win!) if she had been paying attention. Instead she got lost in that hand. Too bad for her.

FYI, Serock can win this thing. He is showing no fear here, while some of the others are playing timid. I don't like the tank top look either, but his play is unaffected.
