WSOP 2018 results/tournament discussion (**NO SPOILERS**) - Page 17 - Poker News

It's possible it started at 25/25, I can't remember but I know I played a $1500 that year also and it started with 1500 chips and 25/25 blinds with 1 hour levels.

I love Olivier calling people out for saying dumb cliche poker sayings.

Olivier not having any of Ivey walking out pre-end of level and not bagging his own chips.
LOL
Makes someone else bag for him

So you have to be P. Antonious or the like to run your stack to over 200k on day 1? Sheesh. I've played and busted early on day 1 for 5 or 6 times completely card dead for the entire duration of my play.

These guys just sit down and spin it up to massive stacks. Makes me ill.

Womp womp

Looks like a slight mistake of 11th payout.

16th to 15th: +$100k
14th to 13th: +$100k
12th to 11th: +$150k
11th to 10th: +$125,025
10th to 9th: +$149,975

Seems completely silly they can't make the 12th to 11th jump $125k and then 11th to 10th $150k.

Agree. They clown him with the corniest jokes/skits. Brutal

She was bored with poker 3 years ago. She probably had her elimination last year with aces full vs Bauman's quads.

But I went over to look at the tertiary feature table and did not recognize one face there. So I figured it was featuring someone I just didnt recognize, however there was 1 empty seat with no chips. Later when Phil Hellmuth made his grand entrance, that was the seat he was ushered to, a full 3 hours after the table had been playing there. He had not registered yet as there was no stack there being blinded off. So how were they able to "reserve" that spot for him if he had not registered yet? The table played 8 handed for almost a full 2 levels before Hellmuth showed up. Did they make an exception to the rules just for the grand superhero entrance?

Definite exception, the stack should have been there before he sat down and been blinded off for 3hrs.

I'm very glad the PokerGo broadcast hasn't used Joe Stapelton at all...at least, I haven't seen the clown yet. Worst announcer on TV.

Just like in what world is it that people see a play they would never make from someone successful and the first thought is LOL IMMMA GO INSULT HER ON TWITTER BECAUSE SHE'S TERRIBLE AT POKER AND LIFE AND I AM AWESOME AND UNLUCKY AND SHE'S JUST SO LUCKY WAHHH

get a life guys

I wish I could just ignore people's tweets but this irks me so much. Everyone who posted here is epitomizing exactly what is wrong with poker these days. Why it's not fun for amateurs anymore. Basically I guess it just boils down to you're kind of a bunch of *******s, pls stop.

confirmed, i guess? She certainly comes off like a super arrogant, unhappy, self-loathing kind of person.

No you didn't. Blinds were $25/$50 to start with $10k stack = 200BBs, now blinds start at $75/$150 with a $50k stack = 333 BBs.

The most surprising thing to me reading her twitter is that she's been around for a long time, so you'd think she'd be used to this trolling etc. by now. However she just falls into the trap and starts rambling on about how rich she is blah blah. I'd like to see her not get pulled down by this stuff but what can ya do.

I will disagree with one thing she said. I think everything that is wrong with poker today is the fact we have some jerks in government who decided we couldn't play online anymore. I can deal with the attitudes playing at home from my computer. ;P
