Since schedule was subject to change my guess is they don't put it in the lobby until it is 100% finalized.

Thanks to Mike, Adam and Bunner for having me! And happy to see many enjoying the show.

And special thanks to Adam's mom, who really did make epic food that allowed me to choke down the inevitable Miami win.

To add to your story of the Epic gaming auction: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18548803

William Hill have been granted a license to operate in the US.

William Hill are one of the big players in the gambling industry in the UK and that styory could tie in with the auction (sorry if it's been posted elsewhere on the site)

You also knocked Betfair pokers integrity a few weeks ago but I can assure you they are no small operation. They are the World's biggest betting exchange and all funds are ring fenced. I felt you gave them an unfair review.

I have no affiliate with any of the above 2 companies BTW.

Wait, so you aren't including Annie Duke's $2,000,000 win?

Also Bodybuilders aren't fit, they're muscular, let them run 5 miles to check that out.

Great show nevertheless.

Any questions about the action or the hand, feel free.

^ questions:

I don't play stud at all... but I can't figure out why Angry John doesn't follow through and barrel 7th street after he decided to raise.

It seems like he's bluff raising the turn with a draw and then decided to give up because he had some kind of pair... but my hunch is that he already had that pair when he raised and that he bricked 7th so actually he never intended to follow through and was kind of free SD raising.

If he thinks he's ahead but also has a big draw, why not just call down? Does he think Bakes would raise 5th with a made hand that he's now immediately willing to fold when played back at? Even if bakes is that weak I think his board will often give him a draw that has to call. If so this semibluff needs to bet on 7th to get through.

From WSOP.com
Cassidy and Blom were in action on the T 9 5 flop and Cassidy was first to act. He checked and his Swedish counterpart fired a bet of 38,000. Cassidy raised and made it 138,000 to go. Blom called.

The A hit the turn and Cassidy potted it for 485,000. Blom called and was all in. Blom held the A 9 9 2 for a set of nines. Cassidy held A Q T T the for a set of tens.

The river nailed the 9 and gave Blom a miracle one-outer. He srpung from his chair in shock and excitement. Cassidy sprung from his chair in the opposite manner, but just as shocked.

With that pot, Blom moved up over one million in chips while Cassidy was crushed down to just about 50,000 in chips.

Johnny thinks he's not ahead, free showdown/semi-bluffs raises, and once Bakes calls, he knows Bakes is not folding, and also knows what to valuebet.

The question he asked, "You didn't even have a pair???" is throwing your read on him off. It was meant to throw the read off for Bakes is well.

Was looking at the structure and payouts for the One Drop.

Thought it was awesome they actually followed the 3x convention for starting chips ($3mm starting stack). Would be hilarious if they started with 25-25, instead of the 3000/6000/1000 starting level.

Also noticed something interesting on the payout sheet:
- "22 for bracelet"
- "29 to break all-time tournament record"

Obviously both of these milestones are passed, but am I to read there is a 22 player minimum for a bracelet event?
