2011 WSOP Main Event Final Table thread Nov. 6 and 8 (tl;dr, Spoilers will get you banned!) - Page 2 - Poker News

Last year people spoiled the coverage in the official "no spoil" thread. Can we perma ban people that do it this year? (or at least give MAJOR infraction points or something...I watched/posted for hours only to have it spoiled...only other alternative is to just stay off 2+2 and watch myself, not nearly as fun though)

I'm just not going to be on 2+2

laborda's elimination just showed me how much i dislike the guy.
he was actually my #1 choice after the live stream, but the ESPN editing showed a lot of stuff that i missed. him yelling "I KNEW IT, I WAS TRAPPING ALL THE WAY" or something like that after sucking out on laborda was pathetic. (laborda who, despite being a ****** with a flag, took the beat very well and didn't say a word)

I do wish the blinds were a bit smaller, very little room to maneuver for the bottom few stacks.

At least ban ppl from the thread who chose to spoil.

I'm not even a big fan of the "spoiler" tags.

Inb4 Benba busts because he got the worst seat at the table.

they put it in a money market account. those pay like 1% and they aren't even insured by the FDIC and technically you can lose money.

such a scam. if they had just put it in a CD they would have made multiple times the interest, if they even did really put it in that moneymarket account.

a private equity firm owns Caesars, they are professional investors. clearly they would be able to produce a better return if they wanted to. i'd be willing to bet a lot that money serves as collateral for them to borrow a bunch of money on it or some such shenanigans and that was a major reason for them putting this four month delay on in the first place.
