Can someone explain why Peters busted himself? I admit that I don't understand the river check/raise all in.

dont get the hate for Cynn for semi-tank on last decision.

He was running on fumes and having a hard time keeping his eyes open at the end and in the exit interview could barely complete a sentence. Oh yeah $3m decision.

I hope WSOP puts a one day break before final table going forward.

I'm okay with this.

Also why are they playing at 5am?

I know it's Vegas but damn

Is the One Drop officially dead?

It was supposed to be the best vs businessmen. But I dont see why any businessman would put up $1M to play vs robots. They would to play vs Ovey, Negreanu, Esfandiari, even if they were over matched. But the GTO robots dont seem fun to play with. So literally no value

They'd still be playing the final table right now if the tankers had anything to do with it

Brief scan of hands shows Cynn limping the button a lot and when he raised was getting 3 bet at a high frequency with hands that don't play well in 3 bet pots. Q8os, J4os etc. Seems like a bad strat by Miles vs Cynn who did not appear to be folding at high frequency and who was sticky on flops and turns. Both players seemed fond of betting hands that would generally only be called by better and getting worse to fold.

All in all though for two players inexperienced at heads up they both showed a lot of poker heart which made for an interesting match. Any criticism of the two players pace of play or attitude seem ill founded based on length of match and what was at stake.

Over reaction to the "slowroll" he can take as much time as he likes even though he's never folding. It's 3.8m and the bracelet at the end of a 13hr day.

Miles bad reaction: people are way too critical, and based on his tweet he's being too hard on himself. Yes, he's probably not as happy-go-lucky talkative when he's not chip leader, it's a natural reaction. Talking chips is a real thing.

Miles on Antonio: Backhanded **** talking but very accurate, he's an insufferable douche.

The final table "brotherhood"/class/ next poker ambassador: way over blown nobody cares 24hrs later. The game is about making money for yourself. It's not 2003 anymore, the general public doesn't not care or remember. No number of females at the FT or recs winning will make the games soft again.

Backing Antonio Esfandiari is throwing money away.

Luck boxing 2012 is ancient history,
and his "one time" is so over.

LOL at Esfandiari stuffing 120+ BB's AIPF with AK. I guess when you have less than 10% of yourself, there's less concern about torching other peoples money.

What's the better move with AK in that spot? 4bet/fold? Cold call the 3bet with all the hands you continue with?

Maybe but punting 100k isn’t exactly nothing either

Well, he handcuffed himself with the absurd 4bet sizing going from 265K to 1,025K. He allowed his opponents to play perfectly against him, and they did, and now he's busto.

In the years I’ve spent working with addicts and criminals, one thing I learned is to not beat around the bush and coddle them when that can be detrimental to them. They need to be aware of high-risk situations and have the appropriate support and coping skills in place to handle that situation. Pretending like they won’t be tempted when they become suddenly rich isn’t supportive, it’s foolish.
Last comment as we have derailed enough. However get off your high horse about being a forensic psychologist. I am indeed a recovering heroin addict and I assure you I've been around and dealt with plenty of addicts that my opinion should not be hand waved away. Sure, coming into a lot if money can be dangerous but you didn't stop there, you even claimed he will indeed relapse. That is pathetic coming from somebody in the know. If miles has substantial time away from drugs it's quite reasonable he will indeed be able to enjoy life sober with the joys of having millions of dollars. No need to expect every addict will fail because they run into a life altering event.

I am not an enabler btw, I was enabled. So your assertation makes no sense. Also, trying to root for the guy that he will indeed remain sober and have some belief in him he can succeed is not enabling, it's positive reinforcement. Your negative attitude is what drags addicts down. Id change it, because you're likely not helping your patients, most likely helping them to achieve "self fulfilling prophecys " . But your the doc, you know these things

I wish Miles nothing but success and hope he does well. But for our entertainment we should sell squares and do an over/under for in case he does relapse into heroin and peyote enemas.

Life is like sports, boring if you don't have a bet on it.

How come it's ok to slow roll contestants on shows like "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" and "America's Got Talent" but not your opponent at the Main Event.
