I always thought Edog was a terrible nit, then I seen some of his plays last year in the 1drop and they seemed loose and spewy. How the fuck does this guy win shed loads of cash at tournaments?

I think u just said it, he gambles, if u gamble and run good u win a lot of chips

Ooh, what did you have Drexel?

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

First hand aj or a10.

No idea on second hand. I could see him folding an ace if those last two bets put him out I guess.

[DRK Star]

what happened to the Dang brothers (Hac and Di)?


no sign of them?



How many people just said Fuck It and moved to Macau?

Ooh, what did you have Drexel?



First hand I had 78dd. I didn't feel cr and leading a utg2 raise was going to get him to fold on that board. I had played a lot with this guy throughout the day and didn't think he would buy me repping a 5. Also, he had called down others with Ace high (and it was good a few times) and I thought check calling was the appropriate way to play my draw.

Had A9 suited on button. When he repops me on the turn I know I am no good there and as was pointed out if I call raise, then I have to call river and I needed to save those 2 big bets

[Drexel]

When the last level started, I had 148k in chips. That was above average. Then lost 4 pots and I was out. Blinds are so high, one hand to showdown and lose can cripple you. Even a healthy stack.

First hand back from break, we are playing razz (shout out to scottyno bot). I have 4 up and 2 A in hole. It's raised in ep by a 6 up and called by a 7, another 7 and a 6. I have the 2nd best starting hand. I even said to myself maybe I should not even get involved. But then I thought, I'm playing this to win it, not to move up the payscale.

I brick on 4th (j) I call (we lose on player). Get 8 on 5th. Take lead and bet into a pair and K low at best. 6th I get 3 so make 8 smooth. Other guy catches 9, other guy bricks. I bet 6th knowing the opening raiser at best could have a 9 but could be drawing live to a 7 or 6. I check 7th after I don't improve my 8 smooth and he bets. I feel sick. Theres over 240k in the pot. I call for one bb and he says I got lucky and turns over a 765329K.

He had the 69K5 up so I know 100% I am ahead going to 7th.

I win that pot and i am top 3 in chips.

I then lose two holdem hands (neither going to the river)

Then final hand (against the guy in the 5A5 flop hand) is omaha 8. I have A299 one suite and raise. BB calls only. Flop comes 984. he raises my flop bet, i 3 bet, he 4, i cap. hands turned up qqj3. my set is good. any low will win (since he as none), turn is K, river 10...hits his river straight, cracks my set, no low comes and I'm out just like that.

10-20k limits even with an above average 148k stack can go that fast. 4 hands and only the razz hand was shown down.

And I don't for a second regret getting involved in that razz pot. If I am going to fold the 2nd best razz starting hand because I am scared to play a big pot, then I shouldn't be playing at all. If he doesn't hit perfect on 7th, I'm in a perfect position for a much deeper run.

2-7 triple draw on Monday 4pm

Just read the Drexel stuff....terrible beat for Zod there in the razz.

I have 34600 going into day 2 of the monster stack. I played with vanessa selbst for 5 hours and she doubled me up with ATo vs my KhQh on a 5h4h5sQd board. Hope to run it up when we resume on sunday at 11am.

Guy accidentally enters WSOP NL 2-7 Lowball, doesn't know how to play, wins bracelet.

"I thought I had registered for the $1,500 limit hold'em"

http://www.pokernews.com/news/2015/0...bles-21869.htm

In a rare occurrence for a World Series of Poker event, a player won a tournament who would’ve unregistered if they allowed him to after the first hand of play. Christian Pham, a Vietnamese born pro who resides in Minnesota, won Event #23: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw after being left in shock when he was dealt five cards on the first hand.

"I thought I had registered for the $1,500 limit hold'em," Pham said with a big smile on his face as he looked down at the bracelet he had just won. "I would've unregistered if I knew what the event was."

First-timers tend to do well in this event, as Matt Perrins won it in 2011 for $102,105, and now it was Pham who took it down this year for $81,314.

Event #23 Final Table Results
Place Name Payout
1 Christian Pham $81,314
2 Daniel Ospina $50,260
3 Matthew Smith $33,163
4 Andrey Zhigalov $22,634
5 Huck Seed $15,852
6 Aleksandr Denisov $11,385
7 Mike Leah $8,381

"When I got to the table, and when I got dealt five cards, I realized that something was wrong," he said. "I said, 'Oh my god!' because in Minnesota they don't have this game."

Pham currently resides in St. Paul, MN and continued by saying, "This was the first time I played this game, but I tried to learn the game at the table from the people at the table."

Pham made the absolute most of this accidental tournament registration, since he was chip leader at the end of both Day 1 and Day 2. Notable pros with quite a bit more experience in this game, like Huck Seed (5th - $15,852), Mike Leah (7th - $8,381), and Rob Mizrachi (9th - $4,881) made a deep run in this event, but they were no match for Pham, who even made some notes in his phone about what hands he was looking for.

"There was a very nice older gentleman sitting next to me, and he told me '2-3-4-5-7 is the nuts, and 2-3-4-6-7 is the second nuts,'" Pham said. "I put that in my phone and tried to figure out what hands I can play. After that I kept learning, but I also got good hands. I folded the first seven hands until I'd learned the game from the guy who was sitting besides me. He was very nice."

Pham said he ran really well on Day 1 and called a huge bluff with a made ten-nine for a pot worth 100,000 in chips, which vaulted him into the chip lead.

"I knew then that this was a big chance for me to win, and I think it was a sign of God," he said. "It was a sign, that I was chip leader again."

Pham held the chip lead in the $565 Colossus with less than 100 players remaining, but he ultimately finished 56th for $19,566, and in the Millionaire Maker when the money was reached. Pham went on to finish 215th in the Millionaire Maker for $6,973. The third time, though, did indeed turn out to be the charm.

Throughout the final table, Pham seemed extremely confident and in control, and that resulted in his first victory at the World Series of Poker. On whether or not Pham will play this game more in the future, he said the following with a big smile.

"I didn't understand much of the game, but enough, and in the future for sure I will register for this game. I love it!"

I've lost track of the donate to Garrett threads. I'll send Druff $25 for an all American daves if he makes it to lunch on day 1 , you playing Monday joshua?

Watching the live stream of Event #26: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, there is no commentary booth with David Tuckman and friends. But the viewer need not feel abandoned - the dealer is calling the action! (It's quite entertaining.) They are even showing hole cards and chip counts.

[BeerAndPoker]

Not sure how much Brian Hastings had to win in bracelet prop bets but he has been grinding all the events it must be a lot and he just won the $10k stud.

[simpdog]

reminded me of this (not sure if it has been posted)

Congrats @dalaei on #5. Phenomenal win, as much as it stings to lose a 30-1 bet, I'm happier for Daniel than I am unhappy for myself
