The main event hasn't had a winner aged 30+ for an entire decade.

Someone needs to teach these "big names" how to play under 30bbs. It's mind blowing how bad they can be.

Whoever wins this year's ME has really earned it. This was the deepest stacked huge tourney of all time with lengthiest levels. This year's main was a monster stack on steroids. It's going to take 35 levels to reach the FT.
Agreed.

Tbh I woulden't bet against D.C at this point, as he's got what it takes plus some.

Max Silver raises from middle position and Quy Nguyen calls from the small blind. Chris Hunichen defends his big blind and the three see a flop of J 10 3 .

Nguyen and Hunichen both check before Silver bets 110,000. Nguyen check-raises to 375,000, Hunichen folds, and Silver makes it 725,000. Nguyen then makes it 1,075,000 and Silver moves all in for 3,030,000. Nguyen quickly calls and the cards are tabled.

It's the biggest pot of the tournament so far and Silver is on the good end of a cooler. Silver shows JJ , good for top set, and he only has to fade one out against Nguyen's 10 10 for middle set.

The turn is the 9 and the river is the A. Silver takes the pot and take the majority of Nguyen's chips. Silver is the first player to surpass the six-million-chip mark and takes the lead near the end of the level.

Max Silver - 6,100,000 (203 bb)
Quy Nguyen - 1,350,000 (45 bb)

Ouch.

Simon Deadman folded a QQ's full house last night to a river shove. Flop:Q44
Other guy flopped quads.

There's more than 600,000 in the pot as the river card arrives on a board. William Kassouf (pictured above) is heads up and out of position, and he moves all in with his big stack. That puts the decision on Stacy Matuson, who has 490,000 chips left in front of her.

While Matuson deliberates, the cameras gather around, and Kassouf starts chatting. "You don't want to be eliminated in front of the whole camera crew, do you? The whole world?" By this time, a watchful floorman has arrived, and he gives Kassouf a verbal warning about his conversation. Kassouf, however, doesn't stop. He continues to offer bits of conversation, including things like "lay it down" and "don't go broke in this hand."

Now Matuson is getting upset, and she pleads with the floorman for some help. "How is his hand still live?" she asks.

The floorman repeats his warning to Kassouf and explains that he and Kassouf will "have a discussion" after the hand. Kassouf continues to peck, though, and the floorman has had enough. "If you say one more word before the hand is over, I'm going to give you a penalty."

"I'll handle this one," Tournament Director Jack Effel says, suddenly stepping into place behind Kassouf.

Kassouf is not done trying, though. He complies with the order to remain quiet, but he mimes and gestures and waves his hands at Matuson while she thinks. He zips his lips with his fingers, then plays charades with "You show, I'll show," acting it out several times. Effel now issues him another verbal warning.

"How about a clock?" someone at the table asks. "We want to play, too."

Matuson is not happy with the time limit imposed on her, and she lets the clock tick all the way down to zero before open-mucking .

Kassouf, on the other hand, is particularly pleased with himself. "Do you want to see it? Do you?" Matuson nods. "Double gutter and I missed," Kassouf says, showing . "Nine-high like a boss! Big heart. Big heart of a lion."

Kassouf is quickly pulled aside by Jack Effel, who issues him a one-orbit penalty for taunting.

"How dare you call the clock on me?" Matuson says as she stands up to gather herself for a moment.

Kassouf has a lot of chips, but they're still in an uncountable pile in front of his vacant seat -- call it 3,500,000 for now. Matuson, on the other hand, does not have a lot of chips left after surrendering that big pot.
What do you guys think about this?

Definitely the strongest field I've seen at this stage of Main Event, ever. So many good players still in. Flush Entity new chip leader.

Kassouf has been on plenty of EPT broadcasts and he's definitely obnoxious, but from watching him, it's not the kind of obnoxiousness that should involve the floor. He knows the rules and doesn't tend to break them. He just never shuts up. Without more information I think the original warning was out of line. The penalty for "taunting" seems pretty bad too.

Making any comment like "fold your hand" or "you don't wanna go broke" to influence action is forbidden by the WSOP to prevent collusion/soft-playing. It's sometimes dubbed "the Jamie Gold rule".

I'm not argue whether or not the rule should be in place, but since it is in place, penalty is the right decision by the floor.

Matuson runs the WSOP dealer academy with one of the mizrachi brothers.

She also told me I play bad

If this is the case, then I stand corrected.

I do like the other lady involved begging for his hand to be killed to save her from a tough spot.

Let the games begin because as of right now nobody is even close to having a significant stack.
Coleman is a Multi millionaire and dresses like Stealthmunk!
On Papis' 'Cast he came across as a better guy than i had picked him to be,still could do with some Sartorial Eloquence though,surprising as Olivier is his mate and he is aware of being turned out appropriately.
