Like you, earlier today I saw the day 6 start time listed on Poker Go as 3 pm EDT. But now I see it scheduled for 5.

Agree with this. The absolute best day of the main event is 27 down to 9 but it gets really good from now. Yesterdays coverage was fantastic with every level covered and Zhang's absolute gangster poker. Rooting for Zhang, King Dan, "Sick Call" Kenny, Aldemir and the last remaining woman to all make the final.

Notice the coverage has been moved back a couple of hours today. Are we missing a level or has the start time been delayed?

With that said the only thing that might bring a mini boom is a woman winning.

Some guy nobody ever heard of going back to back does nothing for poker.
Yeah we are never getting another boom like we had, that's in the past and the game has completely evolved now. A lot of the game has been solved and there's no going back. That said I think live poker was experiencing a small boom in itself before Covid and that has continued now post pandemic.

If you want to know how good this Zilong Zhang is check out this insane month he had in 2021.

Ten 100-runner fields in Vegas - buy in €80.

5 Firsts !!!
4 Top Sixes (2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th)
1 Fourteenth

No run good in the world gets near that - the lad has something special about him for sure.

On the main event structure sheet the days are supposed to start at 11 AM PT and with the one hour delay PokerGo would normally start at 3 PM ET.

But they have been playing later the past 2 nights and starting later the next day.

So today, ME starts at 1 PM PT so the stream will start at 5 PM ET.

So what is the script with the delayed start time? Lon on commentary yesterday explicitly promised we would see every single minute of every single level left in the main.

Have they delayed the restart time of the tournament itself? Or are we just missing the first level in the coverage now?

Respect for the move 100% but pokernews saying if Rebei had called and river bricked he would’ve busted lococo without knowing Rebei’s cards is pretty ***** hilarious

A few hands later the Q4s v A2o is really good imo. Particularly liked the way Dan asked him to talk before calling him on the river, think he had already decided to call but was trying to get a read on him to potentially use later down the line.

No too many compelling stories left, I guess I'm rooting for her, Papo MC, Zhang or maybe Kenny Tran. Aldemir would be a cool story too.
There’s 2. But yeah not great. Based purely off of % of entrants there should still be like 6 or 7 left with 123 players remaining.

But a woman is 2nd in chips. Feels like she has gotten zero coverage so far which is weird.

Random rant.

I literally despise the fact WSOP live stream footage is behind a paywall it’s bloody ridiculous, this needs to be on espn/YouTube/live-streamed online not on a subscription that only true die hard fans are going to pay - basically no clueless fish or people like my cousins/father in law/rich poker fish friends, all who love poker would be watching all who have money and the sub is meaningless, but cba sign up to a sub. If I sent a link on YouTube they’d all be watching and likely playing on the side. It’s a disgrace you have to pay £99 a year to watch something that would bring more people into the game and keep the flame alive inside of them to play, if it we’re free. Instead they end up not even knowing the wsop ME is even on and their love for the game dissipates.

This isn’t pay per view worthy, the game needs more people/new blood to survive. Watching the wsop is nostalgic and loads of old players and fans would watch it.

Love to see this. Grinding Orleans, South point tournaments and daily deep stacks. Probably means he doesn't have much of a backer either and is doing this largely on his own.

Very true words. I don't know what the economics between WSOP and Pokergo looks like, but WSOP just dishing out all the money themself and throwing it on youtube+twitch may just make more money in rake generated over the years compared to selling the rights to pokergo. Hell if they put chat as subscriber only they'd maybe make more ***** money off of just that than pokergo does from wsop subs.

Yup and what's worse is that Pokergo got youtube to remove all wsop content from its platform.

I don't like that at all.
