juma got hosed getting moved too, everyone at his table would've been in hell playing any pot vs him and he might've had a monster lead at the final table now instead he has the other big stacks behid him and the other table they're all in a standoff in a similar spot against each other.

Was he chosen randomly? If not does not seem fair to him but he's crushing the big table so wtv

giant noise at other table

cameras, meh who cares we'll stay right here

It’s actually creating spoilers for these hands. Because at this point we know who has the big rails so we know who is going to win the hand as it’s going on

we also knew 89 was going to bomb river cause what else would make that noise, indeed they are spoiling a bit

Maybe so, but from 2004 to 2026, Raymer has just three Main Event cashes, which ranks twelfth among Main Event champs:

  • 4 cashes: Chris Moneymaker, Joe Cada, Scott Blumstein, & John Cynn
  • 5 cashes: Ryan Riess & Koray Aldemir
  • 6 cashes: Joe Hachem & Greg Merson
  • 7 cashes: Johnny Chan, Damian Salas, & Jonathan Tamayo.

Moneymaker seems much better than publicized. I watched him play a bit this year and he could have easily gotten to top 250 with any reasonable runouts.

Sorta, when they balance tables they pull the next big blind from the table, which happened to be him and his new seat is the "worst" position available at the new table


oh Mueller, we know you have it, you're not shoving like an online reg there.


Pay jumps are exactly $250k until 5th. Odd structure. I wonder how much EV there is in making the final table for ESPN. Can they go full Nascar with sponsors?


Feel like the Q hi call is pretty straightforward bc lahti never bets a hand as strong as A or K hi and it was only 1/3 pot, but i admit i’m sitting on the couch at home

he isn't gonna call some random T or J high preflop though is what I was thinking (I totally would've bet A high there for value against him too even though the big stack might c/r bluff but I suck) if you're sure he's never firing a/k high than I guess so but ain't a lot you beat either


Wonder what happened at other table, feng up to 52m now.


Yes that’s fair, i was thinking A or K hi is really likely to bluff catch and he has to bluff from lower down but if he is betting A or K hi for value then i am way off

won a pot off trayner to get to 40 and probably just stole blinds to 52


from pokernews a loud member of Trayner's rail complained that it was a bad call for 15 bigs with an unsuited ace.

with the BB ante kinda making it 2x bb thus none of those stacks have many hands left before needing to get it in and 6 handed I don't think so rail bro. I get it though it's not a great spot to possibly bust but you can't just keep folding here either.

Great final three tables that from 2005. Also remember from other years

Jamie Gold v Eric Molina

Prahald vs Lisandro

Matusow v Raymer (refusing to shake hands lol)

I wonder why there are less fights now? maybe people don't want to be online forever now w how social media works?


galiana was 9th in chips, AQ is so strong but dunno what a strange spots the main has. It's 500k if you get 9th vs here.

I'd look more at prize payout from mains than # of cashes


Yes full Nascar opportunity for those who take it/are offered. Jumalon doing great work for Bob Does Sports.

I'm wondering if timebanks go away for FT?

At least extend them, they're playing for 10fkin M's


There is no reason to have timebanks at the FT. Wonder if they keep the clock but maybe make it preflop only, or if you're facing a big decision you can take whatever time idk


With Ensan gone, not really a final table worth focusing on imo. Tough nowadays with so many players.

I think he 3 bet than called off the 4 bet, which is not good imo. Besides a rare 4 bet bluff you are flipping at best

according to pokernews he 3b to 14m and called off the last 10 knowing he was probably beat when he got reshoved on but it's like that was bad but mostly only bad because of this *exact* situation.


Hawkins 4th for $432k

Got to give my boy Traynor credit. He is continuing to stay aggressive and take all his spots
