I just heard from a very well known and respected pro that just came back from there. Lineup sounded like guaranteed fireworks. Any rail bird stories? We would love to hear them!

What was the line up you heard?

2k/4k PLO was listed right on their website for many days. 20k/40k is probably random straddle hands.

Stream of the tournaments confirmed the game had Aussie Matt, Leon, and Tony G. Don't know who else. Probably similar to the normal crazy PLO lineups in Leons games on streams, so maybe guys like Rob, Trickett, etc

did any players buy into the 20k- 40k with ppl points?

5k deposit limit

asks for stories and doesnt post the lineup he knows

Who are these well known and respected pros OP?

This was posted on the PP Live Instagram. Pretty sure that's Bobby Baldwin! What a lineup!

Amazing how far Jamie Staples has come

wtf, Gus is dealing.

No, thats John Cynn. He won one of the events at Rio this summer

the legend Kevmath in the back?

I used to go there in the mid 90's and it was loaded with brothels and a McDonalds. Crazy they built that casino there.

Wow, they actually let Lamb play in that game lol. mbn

Threads like this are why I still check NVG.

A WSOPE commentator said Tony G won a 2 million dollar pot vs Leon and Aussie Matt playing 2K/4K PLO and then took it all to a craps table.

Was there for a couple days. Tony G won a 3 way all in pot for around 3M total.
The day after, Bobby Baldwin came next to me talking with Tony G . Tony asked him how he was doing at the table : "loosing 800k but i'm ok" with a smile.

Didn't know Makoto Nagano, the ninja warrior, plays poker, what a table. Nice of Leon to invite Gus to deal, make a few euros for zoom 500 plo roll.

Wonder if being juiced up helps Aussie Matt's game any.

You have to hand it to The Stapler, he's really come a long way

So I take it the reduction in "cognitive reflection" is probably not exactly performance enhancing for poker. ;-)

I'd say it's ability to help keep you stay young and the ability to recover faster as a PED for both physical and mental abilities as long as you have discipline. If you sleep 8 hours having a higher level test or substitute test will help brain the brain recover faster and better over those hours just like the rest of the body.

Is he doing it under DR's oversight or just juicing? I wouldn't be surprised if over juicing will make you dumber with less impulse control and more anger which gets in the way of cognitive ability. There's probably a nice sweet spot in there. On top of that I think it's safe to say the fella already suffered from low T levels anyways so it's probably gonna help a lot if he's anywhere near the sweet spot.

other than the noosebleed tony G pots, most interesting thing to me is John Cynn sitting the game.

From coverage on ESPN he seemed to have more sense than to bink a single MTT (albeit the BEST one to bink) and jump into one of the largest and swingy live cash games in the world.

Assuming he had all of himself, after taxes he netted 5-6M ??

What was the buyin for this game?

Anyone know how he did ?

who is left from Leon, and who is Japanese guy?
