He must regret not betting turn in that hand. Very unlucky river obviously.

Yeah Les should be moving all in. He can beat two of the value hands only losing to the set.

Nguyen checked a rivered nut flush versus Cohen. Board was paired. Cohen had trip qq's with a kicker too. Did you see that hand? Bad not reraising? I thought it was but I'm a donkey.

As a 'Brit', whatever that means these days, I'm obviously routing for UK lads, enjoying Kassoufs banter reminds me of a young Tony G, LFG

Do you think the Brits will chant 'Kasouf, Kasouf, Kasouf is on fire' at the November 9 final table rail?

I meant he's not getting called by what we know the other's guy's hand actually is. You don't think Les might think he could get a call with a lower Aces up? I mean, he shouldn't, but then his opponent just punted off most of his stack with 2nd pair, so we can't say he wouldn't have called a river shove with A9.

It's a wise move to give her the min buy in. Shes not the sharpest tool in the box.

The November 9 that I believe would be best for TV:

-Dan Colman (winner of 1drop - known player - possible villain)
-William Kassouf (talkative clown - good for TV)
-Antoine Saout (repeat nov9er - redemption)
-Jason Les (skillful online player - played vs best poker bot and won/statistically tied)
-Gorki Oliveira (Brazillian for the rail and international feel - Amateur - has $1610 WSOP cashes total)
-Griffin Benger (won $1million on sharkcage - very deep run in previous year)
-James Obst (Australian and good player for the international feel)
-Max Silver (British and good player for the international feel)
-Cliff Josephy (Older guy - two time bracelet winner)

This year's November 9, surely, can't be lower energy than last year's

funny update:

Table 4 is full of dangerous players, but it's been the most light-hearted and talkative table in today's remaining field. In between the two most recent hands, a discussion emerges about the merits of doing research on one's tablemates prior to the start of play. Australia's Mitchell Watson says he gets by with a little help from his friends.

"I don't even need to Google the table," Watson says. "I wake up, and my friends have already given me all the information. They told me to watch out for you," he says, pointing to Cliff Josephy.

"Me?" Josephy seems surprised.

Dietrich Fast can't resist. "But he's...so old. Why would we...?" he trails off.

"Look at all that gray," Chris Klodnicki adds, joining the fun.

The silver-topped Josephy is a good sport about it all. "I play the Seniors Event," he laughs.

"The Seniors?" Fast asks. "Or the Super Seniors?"

Qui Nguyen raises from the hijack and Jesse Cohen calls from the small blind. The flop is Qd 10c 2d and Cohen checks. Nguyen checks behind and the turn is the Qs .

Both players check and the river is the 5d . Cohen bets 525,000 and Nguyen quickly calls. Cohen shows AQ , good for trips, but Nguyen wins the pot with Ad 8d , having rivered a flush.

Qui Nguyen - 6,100,000 (75 bb)
Jesse Cohen - 3,300,000 (41 bb)

I would have put in a small re-raise too lol.

If you want energy, root for even stacks. McKeehen having so many chips paralyzed the action because of the ICM considerations. Beckley basically folded his way to second. There was literally not one post flop raise either called or three bet at the entire final table.

But in Les's spot, there are actually 3 value hands (K9 clubs, A4, A2) he is beating, and of course he's beating all bluffs. 44 shouldn't get to the turn.

That means his AK (despite having the blockers) can reraise for value. AK is only losing to one exact hand, 22. And yeah he may have that hand, but you can't play scared.

Smacc posted the hand above.

Considering those lyrics don't fit the song, I'd say it's highly unlikely.

Jared Bleznick raises to 180,000 from under the gun before Tom Marchese comes over the top for 475,000 from the cutoff. Bleznick calls.

The flop comes Js 8c 2h10s and both players check.

The turn brings the and Bleznick bets 550,000. Marchese calls.

The Kd completes the board and both players check again.

Bleznick then tables Qh Qc for a pair and takes down the pot after Marchese flings his cards to the muck.

Jared Bleznick - 10,310,000 (128 bb)
Tom Marchese - 3,375,000 (32 bb)

Tom's not a Happy Chappy,
