2025 World Series of Poker May 27th - July 16th

Is Shiina still in it? Haven't seen any updates that included her.

Wayyyy too many to list still.

The most well-known players with chips from my 50 sweats are high roller regs Adrian Mateos, Stephen Chidwick, luckychewy, and Chance Kornuth.

Kornuth is notable because, IIRC, he was down to 10-15k early on day 1D. Bagged 44.5k at the end of the night. Started today with 313.5k. Nice spin up.

Kassouf is like top 5 in chips
Obst
Jo Cheong
Josephy
Nate Silver
Elias
Yockey
Ebony Kenney
Ike Haxton

Greg Raymer, Phil Hellmuth, Jonathan Tamayo, Johnny Chan, Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer Harman,
Josh Arieh, Vloggers Brad Owen Andrew Neeme Ryan DePaulo Doug Polk Ashley Frank

ok

That is an interesting way of doing it. I haven't followed wsop payout structures in years, so I suppose they could have been doing this for multiple years now. It just caught me off guard since it isn't at all how it used to be done. Thanks for the information.

Case queen on the river said naaah

The crazy part is that (as I recall) there was a dead ace and a dead king. So that turn K was a longshot by itself. When that hand becomes part of the highlight reel, I don't know if they'll even show the entirety of preflop, so the runout won't look as cool.

It's pretty amazing that in 6 years(?) Kassouf hasn't been able to add any other little sayings to his catalog. Just the same 3-4 sayings over and over like a moron

so who is left now? I heard Tamayo, Negreanu and Helmuth were eliminated

Greg Raymer, Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer Harman,
Josh Arieh, Vloggers Brad Owen Andrew Neeme Ryan DePaulo Doug Polk Ashley Frank

Do we even need to say it?

Having two active threads for the stream watchers is lame, gonna just commit to this one only.

i think this just proves people only care about players who go out of there way to make big deal about htmeselves. lets be honest these other players need to do more to promote intrest in poker, its insane how few people are .

I think Polk is more cringe than Kassouf

And as I type this he’s out AA < KK

RIP Doug Polk's main event

no Doug Polk anymore

What's wrong with wanting people I KNOW to go deep in the main event? Some of the best WSOP's were when people like Matusow, Greg Raymer, Ivey, D-Negs made deep runs. otherwise they are boring and unmemorable.

mic drop.

I played with this guy in a tourney earlier this summer. All in all I felt he was an OK guy and solid player but his shtick and personality wore on some folks. To their detriment.

Raymer just busted..

He’s not saying there isn’t anything wrong with it, he’s making the point that there are not a lot of younger players creating interest in game

oh true. yes, no one is interesting now, just internet players.

even the controversial players at least make it interesting

Viktor Blom has just under a mill in chips, filed straight into the things I love to see folder.

i have a confession to make. i should have admitted this long, long ago. but i was in denial. and i hurt myself and my family and my (poker) community in the process. i am no longer ashamed of this fact. i will own it, from now on. i will boast it proudly, whenever and wherever I may go:

i absolutely love will kassouf.
