Kristen Foxen looking to possibly final table this. No female has done this in modern poker history. I should mention history shows a lot of women make top twenty but can't seem to transition playing 6-7 seven handed.

In 2012, two young women, Gaelle Baumann and Elisabeth Hille, finished 11th and 12th.Quote:

Baumann continued to play more than Hille, and has had some moderate success, but again wasn't able to duplicate what she did in 2012.
Both of them could have had a very different trajectory with a final table appearance. Not only were they young and female, both both were pretty as well.
Kristen Foxen was the most likely female to finally do this, so I'm not that surprised she's close.
I played with Barbara Enright in an event at the Gold Coast this summer. Hadn’t played with her in 20 years. She still sarcastic as hell. Love her.Quote:

I got a respiratory infection at the WSOP two weeks ago. It laid me up for 4 days. It could have been COVID. Didn’t get tested. I did get COVID 3 years ago at the series. The Horseshoe is infection central, with all those people coming from all over the world, it’s easy to catch bug you have no immunity from.Quote:

So I took a COVID test and.....
:what
I had no idea. I really thought it was a cold.
Here's the WSOP Main timeline:
Day 1 (July 5): Felt great. Probably caught it while playing. Overall a good day where I finished well above average.
Off day (July 6): Felt normal.
Day 2 (July 7): Woke up tired and with sore throat. Hoped it was from Vegas dryness and the AC blowing in my mouth while sleeping. Felt very low energy for first 4 hours or so, but somehow drinking a Naked Juice made me feel significantly better, and while my throat still hurt, I didn't otherwise feel sick. Again a good day where I finished well above average.
Off day (July 8): Sore throat vanished. Turned into nasal congestion. Totally felt like a cold. At night, I was having difficulty sleeping from congestion getting in my throat. I was also getting brief chills, but I attributed it to the AC turning on and off. I kind of felt like I might have a low grade fever, but not sure.
Day 3 (July 9): Lousy day physically. Very runny nose I had to keep blowing during event. Back issues started ramping up again (probably unrelated, as I've had this for weeks). Would not have played cash like this, but obviously I couldn't just bail out of WSOP Main. Despite feeling awful physically, I played well and bagged nearly double average stack.
Day 4 (July 10): Runny nose was peaking and I was blowing my nose every 10 minutes or so. Still felt better than the previous day, but clearly still had a cold, or so I thought. Busted on this day in the evening.
July 11: Slept a lot, did some shit around Vegas I had been putting off, and then bounced outta town. Drive was uneventful and I didn't feel terrible. But definitely still had a cold.
July 12: Got home early morning. Felt something was weird because usually my colds clear very fast after peaking, and here it peaked 48 hours prior, got a little better, but wasn't really going away. Took COVID test, clear positive which showed up after just 3 minutes!
July 13 (3am): I'm feeling low energy like Jeb Bush and starting to get muscle and joint pain. So while I probably caught it a week ago, and have had symptoms for 6 full days, it seems like it might be getting worse. But maybe I'll sleep it off and it won't get much worse.
No fever, no smell or taste issues, no stomach issues.
I did notice I was having a little trouble concentrating in the middle of Day 4, and that it was preventing me from playing my A game. I have been beating myself up about it since busting, but now I don't feel as bad, knowing I was playing with COVID since Day 2.
Imagine if I were still in it now, and having to play through COVID.
There comes a point in a serious man’s life when baseball caps, t-shirts w/ slogans and sweatpants in public are banned.
I am also of the opinion that gentlemen of a certain age should not wear players uniforms and baseball caps at a stadium either. Someone you know might see you.
Perhaps Druff wanted his table mates to dismiss him as unserious or homeless but he is a public figure
Like I said he has the Grizzly Adams look. It's not a bad look, if he won a bracelet again it could parlay into something meaningful.Quote:

1/15 for Foxen looks like woman making final table very likely
Thats my pick for the winner
only way main event matters anymore is if after winning they immediately have to go play blackjack with dana white for 140k a hand
like im giving away the algo but that would do numbies
foxen out in 13th
Take it down!
What a punt! Then she said she was ok with the play and she was proud of herself. I hate people saying they are proud of themselves. Vomit.Quote:

Not rejoicing. I wanted her to make the final table. But she lost a few pots then bluffed all in vs top two and got snapped off. SHE PUNTED. Then she didn’t take responsibility for the tilty bad play. WEAK.

This... was just outright bad.
It's funny seeing all the excuses being made by certain people who don't want to just plainly admit that it was a great player making a bad play at a bad moment.
In general, it's not good to run a bluff on a board which was likely to hit your opponent enough to hero call. This board was very likely to have hit Serock, and she punted off anyway. Additionally, she had few outs if he were strong. It's not like she did this with hearts and knew there were most likely a number of clean outs. No need for this at all. Why not just aggressively attack the blinds of the shorter stacks, who are just waiting for each other to bust?
Case in point...

And in case you think that QQ hand was incorrectly shown...

Yes, Jonathan Tamayo folded QQ to a single min-raise preflop.
(By the way, I combined all the WSOP threads into this one, including the one about me.)
Oh, one more thing.
This year I didn't play with any big names at the WSOP Main. The 3 biggest names I played with at the entire event were Natasha Mercier, William "The Poker Monkey" Souther, and Jerod Smith.
Last year, despite getting only slightly further (35 spots) than this year, I played with a TON of big names, including Day 1.
And guess what? Most of them made surprisingly bad plays which were borderline shocking. These were people I pictured being dialed in and rarely making a stupid move, yet I saw plays so bad that I was left scratching my head over and over. And these were not plays I just didn't understand. They were clearly bad, and others at the table spoke up as well after they were gone.
My point? I learned to feel less bad when I make stupid plays myself. Sometimes I beat myself up that I'm a complete retard who makes dumb mistakes that the great players never would. But I see that, over the course of a long event and a long WSOP, everyone does dumb shit. Even Kristen Bicknell.
woke up to check stacks and see Kristen out at 13th. The final hand brutal and horribly played. Would have loved to see her final table but that was just bad. Can’t even understand what she is repping there against a utg open.
What is the sponsorship situation these days?
Foxen probably cost herself some decent opportunities
But maybe not….poker ain’t what it used to be
ICM alone would suggest it’s a mistake. But being the only woman to final table in 30 years is worth a lot on sponsorships. That being said she was already well connected and married to a well known pro as well. Still doesn’t make up for itQuote:

Kristen Foxen winning it would have been huge. She would have instantly rocketed up to being a big name known outside of poker, rather than just one known within poker. Even final tabling would have earned her a lot of new notoriety.
I have no idea why she punted like this. Someone theorized that she had just lost two pots and got tilted. That's probably the best guess. Maybe that plus the pressure. She had a lot of chips and there was absolutely no need for it. I'm sure she will be replaying this over and over in her head for years to come, and asking herself why.
LOL Will Jaffe is finally saying something non-woke, and now he's getting bashed for it.

If you took your head out of your ass and used the rapidly shriveling peanut inside of it to think for more than 2 seconds you would realize the tweet I made had nothing to do with her political beliefs and everything to do with the fact I thought Krissy would have received much more criticism for the play that she made had she been a man.
The ironic part about all this is a couple of months ago I criticized a tweet that said “some women deserve to get hit” and you asked if I would have had the same response if the tweet had said “some men deserve to get hit”
You are obviously one of those smooth brained mutants who think men are the most persecuted species on the planet so the fact that my post about Kristen went over your head is a bit surprising even given the nature of your single digit IQ.
What’s not surprising is that you were quick to imply that men and women should be treated equally when it comes to physical violence but not so much when it comes to poker
And now time for the semi walk back...

All the people saying
@krissyb24poker
KQo turn shove is a punt, probably never nodelocked a sim.
She gets AQ AT to fold.
Even lots of A5 A9 type of hands bet/fold.
Yes those hands make sense to barrel turn.
You get JT KT type of hands to fold, even some splits like weak Ax and value from pair and flushdraw you are ahead against.
You cant expect KQ type of hands x/shoving turn.
So I expect lots of thin value bets on the turn to xback River.
This can easily be a money printing turn shove with all the hands that bet/fold.
Yeah sometimes you will run into top range. Thats Poker.
Thats why she is one of the best for many years.
I can imagine we get the fold 70-80% of the time and she gets a good price on shoving the Turn.
Sure you could argue that with her Edge she could wait. But if this one goes through she is in a good position to bully the entire FT.
So massive Future Game too.
I can also imagine that this spot can be extremely profitable considering the unbalanced turn betting range (also easy to barrel all the lower pocket pairs we get villain to fold)
I have a lot of respect for players like her to run these huge bluffs in such a Tournament.

@krissyb24poker
Retarded take.
This is fancy play syndrome.
It's very simple. The board very much hit Serock's UTG range. A check-raise semi-bluff was unlikely to work, and the consequences of being wrong would be devastating (being out of the Main 13th, despite having good chips and a skill edge over most of the remaining field).
It was also incorrect ICM-wise (value of her chips winning versus losing).
Have to agree with Druff here. Even her flop check-call is questionable as Serock used quite a large sizing (4m into 6m). If you defend against a pre-flop raise with 78 and the flop is A7x you may well be behind to an ace but a 7 or 8 will probably give you the best hand. It's very different with KQ on an AKJ board as neither a king nor a queen may be any good (as here). If she'd picked up a flush draw on the turn then the shove is much better as she'd have a lot of equity when called but, as played, just a punt.Quote:

It wasn't a good spot to run that bluff because she was representing one hand and one hand only. QT.
The bluff was bad not for the representation but because AK was the most likely holding with AJ right behind.
And it was that much worse because it was the chip leader.
*BUT*
As its being said she played a million hands and beat 10K other players.
Im not as against the QQ muck.
Hea got 200K reasons already with a high high likelyhood that it will be 1,000,000 reasons why when its all said and done it was the right idea.
Call me a Fag all you want. Im third in chips with 10 to go and Im playing for fifth place and $2.5M and never working another hour in my life……. But once i hit fifth place I promise you i would change gears and become Tom Dwan and three bet you all in every hand and play for blood once retirement is locked in.
Yeah I forgot to say that part, but I did yesterday when I was explaining the hand to someone else who doesn't play much poker.Quote:

It's amazing that we have good players defending this bad play.
i can literally watch any sporting event known to man through pirate sites but cant find the wsop main event anywhere............ obv not gonna buy pokergo
anybody out there with a link? (seems like a long shot)
