WSOP Main Event thread, NVG style - Page 100 - Poker News

Yeah, although WTF with the hollywooding? You have QQ in a 4-bet pot and an Ace fell. Instafold and get on with it.

Also LOL at Moon's 4-bet sizing w AK.

CNN ruined it for me.

It's only like 2 days so you won't have to avoid things for long.

Ivey and Esfandiari both top 5 in chips.

Sickness. Give us a stacked final table one time.

And if anyone else I forgot would be mentioned as pros winning as well

As a mix game player I can say without doubt Fabrice is a pro. He plays around 5 nights a week 15-30, 30-60 o8 and horse with us on ft.
He's a nice guy and plays for a living. He's capable of many gears and some of them don't work

If Ivey makes the FT he will be sick to death of himself by the time the PR machinery is done.

Howard on the other hand will be orgasmic.

Wow this run by Phillips is sick. People can talk **** about his play but he's a good ambassador of the game and just overall a great guy how can you not be rooting for him?

No doubt. Would love to see Ivey, Esfandiari, and Phillips at the final table.

I'm also hoping Prahlad can work some short stack magic and sneak in there.

So Phillips limp/reraised PF and his opponent decided that he would call and then bluff all in with AQ on a rag flop. Does Phillips ever not have AA there?

Honestly, if Ivey wins this it should be the immediate legalization of online poker.
I mean, how big of a chance is there that the 'greatest player in the game' wins the main event?

I know its not gonna happen but man, if anybody would open their eyes they should see this.
