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.
Still catching up on this thread. I missed that final stretch... holy schnikeys, I had no idea Tamayo did that. Reminds me of the guy on PokerStars Big Game who folded AA preflop. But there was actually a whole lot of extra value of standing pat, so to speak, with his profit. Tamayo could have at least taken a flop and pretended QQ was a small pair if he wanted to be that careful.
Griff is the Garry Gates of this field. I don't mean that as a huge insult to Gates, who seems like a nice guy and good player [snip]
It probably shows some relative ages, but I immediately thought of Dennis Phillips. Went into that FT as the chipleader more by circumstance than anything else. Nice guy, certainly a better than average player overall but also one of the weak links of the table.
Geeez, and as I typed this, he spiked the trey on the turn.
To the point that the best actual player goes on to win it... while that's demonstrably true, how often has there been a player who has Astedt's experience advantage AND his chip stack (basically tied for second)? Ivey was fairly short at the 2009 FT, for example. Ben Lamb and Phil Collins were middle of the pack in 2011. And I don't know poker well enough to guess who the "skill favorite" was in more recent years.
Anything can happen, obviously, but I can't imagine there has ever been a player with such a combination of skill and a healthy stack in the modern era of the Main Event.
Lon with the unironic “he won the pot”
I don't mind the 3b from Sagle. Seems like Griff either has Qx or a bluff and not sure he'd fire the river.
The speech before the raise was awful though.
crazy how big a whale Sagle is
Lmao old man table talk and 3-bet turn. Classic OMC move
so Tamayo made four fiddy in real $$ by folding over the past level and then finds a decent spot and doubles. Assume he now folds for a few hours?
I've watched almost every minute of ME coverage and I can't remember a single hand Angelov has played.
ivey/seiver final table where can I watch that?
Tamayo with the loose AKo open
Why is this their header image???
Astedt chipping up while Serock and Kim drop. Ominous for everyone else
Astedt just casually picking his spots w/o huge risk.
Has Lena even had to see a river yet? He’s just out there chilling and stacking!!
Sagle with the limp.
it's actually a huge achievement for Lon to know so little about poker after 20+ years as a poker commentator
he still sounds like it's his first year on the job
This commentary is just awful. So, so stupid.
Lena chipped up almost 40 million without even playing a big pot yet.
I tend to doubt Sagle is thinking about which draws he blocks.
Griff has hands down the best seat the table, no?
The commentary is horrible.
Is Gabe Kaplan still alive? Get him in there if they want a nice combination of everyday man and poker knowledge. Plus some will remember him from "Welcome Back Kotter."
would rather be as far away from astedt as possible but yeah it's a really good seat too.
astedt's button is his BB, he's gonna lose his blind a lot and give those chips to the other stack is not ideal but he's behind all the biggest threats
