Episode #459 - May 10th, 2017

Live from the Two Plus Two Studios - On this episode of the Pokercast: We’re coming to you again from Playground Poker in Montreal just before the final table of the Party Poker Millions kicks off. We’re also back on video thanks to Poker Vision Network. To begin the guys chat about their time in Montreal and dealing with chip counts in french before we get into the news. There were some doubters out there but the ambitious $5M guarantee was met out here in Montreal, Adam and Terrence catch you up on all the action. Also PKR shuts down, new WSOP rules on time to act and a quick recap of the Pokerstars Championship in Monte Carlo. We then chat to Mike Noori, the crazy man who accepted a bet that he couldn’t eat $1k of McDonalds in 1.5 days about how he is going to go about this challenge. After Mike we get into some more of your Mail and some in depth strategy. Terrence made a run in the Main Event here and he breaks down some of the interesting spots that he encountered.

Also, usually easy to find in start or end of Day 2 report.

Several years back there was a patent taken out on a poker tournament that allowed for buyins at different levels, in which players received their share of the prize pool for their buy-in level. Can't seem to bring it up, but as I remember, one of the issues was that it required specialty software to handle the varying buyins and payouts.

So this topic of stalling and calling time chips and timebank chips where you mentioned John Duthie.

That is basically creating another sidepot. I can imagine a large pot and then people throwing in their calling time chips and then the person on the decision raising them back with a timebank chip. Seems a bit funny thinking about it.
