They don't randomise on early days of main event day, that's more for like the super high rollers to make it fair for everyone , nobody showing their hole cards more than they should etc.

The high noon show has some cool looks around the room, not that great to listen to but whatever. lol

I hope WSOP tweet wasn't a mistake about 4pm PST start, as this show said twice that coverage starts at 7pm, you would think he would say 7pm on PG but 4pm on YT, also PG site still shows 7pm.

1A looks like a really crappy flight to play.

As in all pros... or HS grinders/good players

Or as in all rec players and no names - as they all wait until later?


I would guess recs want to play the last day one... so if they go through it's not a week of hanging in Vegas. losing their shirt, until day 2.

They are showing various tables and a lot of pros and Euros. Many tables with 3 or 4 tough players on them.

I guess it's on both PokerGo and Youtube [all the day ones] - as those are all listed on PokerGo

Like tonights 1A

I guess it means not N/A [not available] on PokerGo... but not exclusive, and that the same YouTUbe broadcast will be shown on PokerGo.

By the looks of it.

Did BSummer have his daily hysterical meltdown yet over PokerGo’s Main Event coverage schedule? Feel like the sun cannot set unless it is so lol.

I told him to nap during the day so he can watch the coverage late night. He’ll let you know later.

I love the Main, but I don't think I can bring myself to watch until day 3. There's just nothing really at stake until then.

Kudos to PokerGO for providing the coverage though. They should absolutely have cameras rolling from the start.

Who's in the booth?

I've been rewatching 2022. I really enjoy Lon and Norm on the taped shows, but man the Lon/Norm/Jamie team is absolutely horrible at live poker. They are so amused by each other and their jokes that they often miss huge hands and offer no analysis. There was a spot on like day 5 or 6 last year where Aaron Zhang makes a crazy pre-flop shove in the BB with A8o over a UTG open in a pretty big blowup at a key part of the tournament and they barely acknowledge it, like the audience is more interested in listening to them guffaw than the actual poker. They're not half as amusing or clever as they think they are.

Meanwhile Nick and Ali have the perfect balance of analysis with humor. You get the good cop/bad cop routine of Nick trying to rein in Nejad's weird (but often amusing) digressions, yet both of them understand when to get serious and cover the actual drama. They're a cut above IMO, and the streams are exponentially more watchable when those two guys are in the booth. I still stan for Lon and Norm in taped formats though. Lon is a pretty good hype man and good at conveying the drama of big moments.

Final 2 tables of the collosus would be fun to watch right now.

Their late night coverage over the years has been great

Exactly. Sadly cries of tortuuuuuuuuuua at the rail will have to wait as he just busted in 14th.

this dude is at the feature table with jamie gold rn

jamie gold at the feature table

Two thumbs down. So many other more compelling tables out there. Which guy is the crusher above? Alves?

the one with aziz in his name

Nice “mastros” is Matt Matros. His book was one of my early poker books.

oh yeah, good book for sure.

Well that wasn’t in his book.

Hey, I was in Vegas for 12 days and didnt comment once during that time.
So you had your break from my hysterical meltdowns!

Doug Polk currently 10th in chips

Would be fun to see him go deep

I hate that Picasso’s atrocious play pre was rewarded. How the hell do you not make it 25k after the 3! With so many other people in the hand.
