if someone would compile a list of who the known players in the championship are that'd be great.
heads up is the worst format to watch by a significant margin
HU is the most fun to spectate, by a considerable margin. if you like watching poker players playing cards, that is. coincidentally it also happens to be the most fun format to play, unless you love folding.
if someone would compile a list of who the known players in the championship are that'd be great.
I would also be interested in a complete List.

i am unsure why CoinPoker doesn't update their website with information, but perhaps it's to drive traffic to their livestreams? i've created a beautiful mspaint image, with up-to-date scores and standings:
(PLO, NLHE)
- Winning a match in the Group Stage awards 50 points to the winner.
- Players can win or lose between 0 and 150 points per match based on their EV BB score.
- 10 EV BB is equal to 1 point in the Group Stage.
- The maximum that a player can win during a single match in the Group Stage is 200 points (50 points for winning the match, plus 150 points from the EV BB score).
- If two players leading their group are tied at the same number of points, a death match begins. The first to profit 100BB or more (not in EV) breaks the tie and wins.
- If a player forfeits a match, everybody in the group will receive 50 points as if they won their match against said player; his opponent in the match will also receive the full amount of points proportional to the EV BBs won, while the other players will get half of that amount.
noteworthy:
- Limping is forbidden in this Heads Up Cash Game World Championship (CGWC) event. Unintentionally limped hands will be discounted from EV BB results and the total number of hands. Intentional or repeated violations may result in disqualification.
Hey. Here's some cool hands Prodigy vs Clickr. Match has been great so far 😀

Na ur thinking of the other HU reg with the exact same screenname
Not publically at least. I hope that coin make it easier to follow / bet in the future. From my understandings the lineups was announced privately between players just like 3 days ahead or something and publically 1 day before? I get that it's hard to lock up people but it prob easier to just charge deposits of some kind and put out names that are guaranteed to play and then if others. I tried to put together a friendly draft in two different discord groups similar to the ones people would do in the forums here in the 10k hu events back in the day but it wasnt really possible with no info who will play.
the reason yesterday's video was removed... in the thirty minutes i watched not one word on poker was spoken. not really sure what's going on in these streams for the most part, to be honest.
Llama started asking what race wives were and said something along the lines of "It feels like you guys want me to say I hate black women but I love black people" and I decided to watch no more streams

I watched the stream for the first time and this guy is extremely out of line. I think he tries to be funny, but it obv. isn‘t. It‘s just insulting to so many people and being a huge bully.
What about the producers - you really think it‘s a good idea to give such a person an audience. And what about all the other people participating in this stream? Don‘t you have the balls to tell him to shut up, or don‘t you have any morals? At least one guy said, „please don‘t talk about liking underaged people on the stream“.
