I get that it’s the main event, but I’ll never understand the appeal of a 7 day+ tournament.
It’s Insanity. Especially for an amateur.

What the hell was that? The guy seemed genuinely confused. Maybe didn’t even realize he was getting all his stack in

That was exactly what you expect to see at the 45 dollar Excalibur daily. Crazy to watch at the main event. Feel bad if he was legitimately misunderstanding things but then how did he get himself in this position to begin with?

EDIT: Never mind, got it on TV but not on my phone. Weird.

Maybe in years past where internet poker supplied quite a number of entries but
not now.

Yeah just your average 10k buyin

That a6 hand seems like certainly the biggest calling punt ever televised in the main, and I can't think of a bigger one in televised poker generally that didn't at least involve a tank. I hope that was a case of bored billionaire and not dementia or similar.
