WSOP Main Event thread, NVG style - Page 95 - Poker News

He's on the button, the antes are huge, and A7o is not a hand you want to be seeing a flop with. It's reasonable to try to just win what's in the middle.

Honestly it's still a little too deep to just be shoving, but it's not awful.

The AQ call is 100% standard, because you're gonna see exactly what he saw a whole bunch of the time (a worse Ace) and hardly anyone's shoving AK/QQ+ there, so you are either flipping or crushing.

If Darvin Moon's Saints cap means he is from New Orleans, that would be a great story.

What 2p2ers are left?

Akenhead Steers Clear of Ivey

In middle position, Phil Ivey opened with a raise to 110,000. Ryan Fair made the call from the button, but James Akenhead re-raised to 390,000. Back on Ivey now, and he put in another raise, making it a total of 990,000. Fair quickly folded, and Akenhead hemmed and hawed and folded as well.

More chips for Ivey! He's just approaching 6,000,000 now.

It's just a late-stage donkament people, one guy makes a flush on the river and doubles up, another guy loses a coin flip and goes home. It's all random and meaningless, nothing to get excited about, none of these people are heros. Move along.
