Here's the WSOP update page: https://www.wsop.com/tournaments/upd...tid=19736&rr=5
It's the final 5, and Ari has about 43% of the chips on the table, more than double of his closest competitor.
Phil Hellmuth is the only short stack of the bunch.
Ari is a great O8 player, a regular PFA listener, and a very nice guy.
Hope he gets this!
Wish him the best, a really nice guy, met him at a famous 4th July party bash by Lederer.....down to earth and genuine....
Hope Ari gets the bracelet.....
They are carrying FT live on poker go while I hate paying I just bought the 3mo for 29.99. I figure if they bad beat phil and he wines like a baby it’s worth 30 bucks
Hellmuth DD
Ari more than 60% of chips in play with 4 left.
I think he's got this one.
TAKE IT DOWN!
Didn’t he advertise some poker training place back in the day.
Final 2 is tight $4.2 vs $3.9…Ari hanging on
Phil another final table. How is this possible? All I hear about is how terrible he is at poker, especially games not NLH. He must to the luckiest guy in the world.
Anyone who says he's terrible is stupid.Quote:

I don't know this opponent of Ari's heads up. Zachary Milchman. Never heard of him.
Anyway, the guy is really hanging tough. Ari had over 60% of chips on the table 4-handed, and then Milchman parlayed it into a 2-1 lead heads up. Now they're very close to even.
I really hope Ari pulls this off.
Something you may not know about Ari is that he's homeless. I'm not kidding you. But he's voluntarily homeless, and he doesn't sleep under bridges. He travels around the world playing poker, and staying in hotels. I could never do this, even if I were his age (mid-30s). Anyway, he seems to enjoy it.
Ari is a very mild-mannered, nice guy. He listens to every single PFA Radio episode, and when I see him, he makes a point to tell me that he really enjoys the show. I know he especially liked those Sherif segments (the Nigerian scammer). We need to bring those back.
Anyway, I really want him to win here.
Here's Zachary Milchman.

Phil Hellmuth Jr. promoted UltimateBet.com for over a decade which scammed millions of dollars from it's players.Quote:

Phil Hellmuth is running a con.
He uses this con to fool people that having more bracelets means your better than everyone else. Do you think Phil Ivey or Doyle Brunson give a shit about WSOP bracelets?
Phil then tries to claim that because he has won 15 WSOP bracelets companies should pay him more money for endorsements.
If Aria gives Phil more than a free room for his endorsement, they paid too much.
It doesn't matter how many bracelets at the WSOP you win.
It only matters how much money you make.

Wow, really? That just seems insane to me. He must, if not in his own name, have a quasi-homebase to go back to when wanting to take a break? Friends/family house or something? I'd have to imagine that somewhere there is at least a room containing some personal stuff where he spends at least like 50 days a year.Quote:

Great job Ari!
If you would like to get a WSOP bracelet without playing in poker tournaments try the nearest pawn shop in Las Vegas.
