Thanks to all who contributed with the hands & updates, was really fun! Also congratulations to anyone who made money during this challenge!
why is there no separate thread for the cash WC or for Owen crushing it twice? so much more important than most of the crap on NVG front page.
thanks to hh posters, and respect to everyone who participated. ggz, was fun to rail
lmao i remember some hs guy went hysterical on every available platform when saolo costa claimed his best guys would only lose a couple of bb against linus & co. now saolos guy wins the cgwc and linus is ends last? that is hilarious
Let's praise Pr0digy, he made $1.014.179 in actual dollars through the 2 series. (plus a Rolex, and a 3rd place prize)
Linus may have ended in last place, but managed to grab top spot in Biggest Daily $EV Loss (-$109,944.50) and also was the one who ran the worst in terms of AIEV (-$117 796.60).
fur the curious, here's 2024's top 10 finishers.
Linus confirmed washed up?
Linus is GOAT regardless

Nah, Saulo Costa was talking about a "good 500nl reg". Biluzin is not a 500nl reg, he is clearly an established high stake reg (2kNL+).
who is biluzin?
Is Linus just running bad or the field has just gotten better than him?
Also what happened to makeboifin and berri sweet? Are they still in the poker world?

Never seen a picture of the guy before, is he in his 40s? Impressive if so.

I don't want people figuring out how to properly play Ace Kang. 😊
@PR0DIGY Save that **** for nationals. 
would be cool if Linus would comment on this years CGWC. did he feel like he had a huge edge against everyone but lady luck or did he feel washed? any other insights? he's online at this very moment...
Congrats to Biluzin on CGWC win. Go over some of his cool hands.
