Damn, RIO twitch isn't going to stream this? Logged on last night hoping to watch and figured it must have been postponed again.

Just not sure how this translates into people depositing to RIO, feels like 35k hands is going to take forever on wsop.com as well with no hole cards the whole time presumably unless they work with them behind scenes?

Nonetheless should be a nice payday for phil so that's good!

Spot on, maybe poker itself is more lucrative than running a poker site.

Didn't catch much of the match, but thought Thallo did a good job with the show on his twitch channel. Anyone know the results of yesterdays match?

I would imagine that when the challenges are running on RIO it's worth it for them because it will at least pull some traffic onto the site, but when it's been played out on WSOP.com it's just not really worth their while to set up the stream/commentators/coverage etc when it has minimal impact on the traffic coming to RIO.

Which is fair doos imo.

However, I’m in the US right now, so the Perkins and Jungleman matches are on hold until I’m out of the country and can coordinate with them. Chance and I plan to start our match in mid-September on WSOP. He’s got some other obligations til then.

What's the least you'd play for? I'm sure there's plenty of plo grinders at the mid stakes that could come up with 10k or 20k if you came down a peg.

probably sold off a decent amount, but he is a sharp guy and hangs with a ton of other really smart people. wouldnt be surprised if he had quite a lot more money than people think.

He might need to take the buyout clause. Phil would not be "my favorite atm."

He has $7.5m dollars in live earning on Hendon alone. I think most people think he has money.

Well certainly not "nothing". It's certainly means more than 0%.
It will be low, but it means something like 22%?

it actually often means less than 0 percent as in many cases it's extremely misleading

Chance must be sick to his stomach. Any indication that Galfond is just the one hitting the cards atm, or is Chance clearly outclassed?

match still open, only 14BI after 6.6k hands. it’s PLO, this can turn around in 2-3 sessions. from what I have witnessed I wouldn’t say chance is outclassed and he was up 6fig in some sessions too. still like 80% of the match to go guys. you said the same about Phil when veni was leading big after few thousand hands lol
