I would take Bonomo more seriously if he wasn't wearing a pussy hat on his head.

I wouldn't even consider that shots fired. Bonomo has always been viewed as a scandal person.

watching the HU, Vogelsang is definitely a HU wizard. He didnt implode when his stack took hits, because he knows how 35-50 bigs is super playable HU, no matter how big the chip deficit is.

I dont like Jake going broke in a limped pot. He actually seemed disheartened by the thought of having to grind back from 6 MM chips once again. So he just ripped it in there, hoping the bluff got through and he could regain the chip lead.

Or maybe he wanted to catch the game.

This +1...

Bonomo has a stench of someone taking himself far too seriously... can't ever remember him sharing a joke, laughing, or even smiling for that matter - grade A Pr1ck imo.

Not sure how to link this properly on mobile, but I remember this conversation he had a few months ago.. Makes him look like an absolute hypocrite now. Click into it to read the entire conversion

Well, Kabrehl is a scumbag. I'd never want this rat close to me in any situation.

I also support the game by not complaining when they create amazing opportunities for me

So you ask the man to politely sit down as they are playing for millions of dollars...LOL...what is the problem?

Pretty in pink Bonomo has now eliminated himself of ever getting a chance to play cashgames with Leon.

Talk about misplaying your hand.

^^^^
When you are a professional gambler, insulting the character and integrity of a person (which is what Bonomo was hypocritically doing) that owns a casino and likely has contacts with most in the industry is not a good long-term play.

Who could guess that people that wear pussy-hats on their heads are irrational?

Leon had paid more to enter than the other 7 players at the FT combined.

Why does he even do his hair like that? He's already ugly enough and it makes his floppy ears standout even more to me. Anyways, never liked him either, he's pretty quiet at the tables to my impression.

Interested in a side bet if Leon and Bonomo will play in the same cash game within the next year?

Bonomo is obv. way out of line here if he can't present any facts to support his accusations. Not only is Leon well liked by (almost) everybody because he's always super friendly no matter if you are a big name or not, he's also a player who make the game more exciting for everybody at the table. In a world of loose-passive recs who tend to nit it up postflop, that's something you don't see that often anymore unfortunately. Especially on TV where nobody wants to see a game that mainly consists of players isoing the rec.

Maria Ho has to be the worst interviewer ever. She has no clue of what types questions she should ask, can't interact with the players at all and feels just superfake.

I think otherwise this was a great production and I really loved Ali and Nick in the booth. Also, I enjoyed the shot clock format alot, especially in the heads up when Vogelsang had 30 sec to call basically for the win or the loss.

Yeah Maria was pretty poor in general tbh.

What I liked about the commentary was that it seemed natural and easy going for both pros and recs to listen to.

Then we have to watch an OTT fake interviews. Seemed kinda nuts to have Jake in the background where all he wanted to do was probably find the nearest bridge.

When you're getting great analysis from Nick, what's the point in getting inferior analysis on break? Some kind of sorbet perhaps? To cleanse the analytical palet?

When they went on break after the hole card controversy, Mori immediately ran onto the set and called all of the players in for a talk. I'd much rather have listened to that than Sylvia...
