World Series of Poker Final Table Day 1 thread

Hesp or sinclair. Became a fan of sinclair after his J4 off punt on day 7. Tbh anyone but Salas tho

That first hand with Hesp, King 9 off raise on the flop as a bluff lmao. He's been running hot too

Also Antonio is a great commentator to listen to

Not a sport.

Everyone just playing tight and waiting for Hesp to do something stupid, too bad he is getting smashed by the deck

Shut the fuck up new zealand cuck, we have a thread every year for final table

Really wish Ruanne could have made back to back Final tables. Really enjoyable to watch him during the main.

How did the gook get knocked out?
>>77230871
stop embarrassing us

>>77230871
Hmmm what channel is the final table on again?

What stakes do you lads play at? Anyone play tournaments?

1/2 and 1/3 grinder here with monthy shot at a $130 tourney.

>>77230934
Punted away his day 7 chip lead and in 5 hours busted 19th.

>>77230959
lmao
lucky he faced vayo last year

hang on a sec, 2 november niners made the final table again

Honestly thought blumstein was about to hit one of those outs. I like the shove though

>>77231030
Oh I thought the gook you were talking about was Pham, Qui busted on day 2 I think.

>>77231063
Coulda been 3 if Piccoli didn't cripple his buddy Ruane.

>>77231105
I hope Salas busts next

Blumstein because we play on the same sites and it would be cool to see another fellow NJ reg win the main

(((Blumstein))) of course

How many more do they have to eliminate tonight?

>>77231324
theyre playing to 6

>>77231324
2 more need to bust

Hesp is making the final table fun. So many raises and re raises.

>>77231106
Fellow STL fag, you play at Hollywood or Ameristar?

>>77231551
google espn2 stream and hope for a good one.

Why do they take so many fucking breaks fuck

>>77231566
Hollywood, don't play too often though. Maybe once every other week

>Exploitatively
Says Daniel

Anyone play in the bay area? Oaks is my room

>>77231610
That's about the same as me. Love that extended tournament, probably gonna be out there tomorrow night for the thousandaire.

Winning player which is more than most can say. How often do you play

>>77231804
I uses to go 2-3 times a week for at least 3 hour but slowing down lately to once every other week. The first big drop was me attempting 15-30 limit

I keep hoping someone wakes up with a hand and busts Salas. Some day I hope ill find something as interesting as he finds Q2 off in the small blind

damn that luck sack

Hesp thought that he was bluffing the obvious straight

>>77231925
Terrible call. I would have snap folded river

How do you not call those 4's

Hesp is tilting and steam raising, not looking good. I think he will be lucky to get to heads up

>>77231651
217 central Illinois native here. I usually go to Lumiere because it's the closest. I do enjoy Ameristar. Haven't played Poker at Hollywood or Ameristar. I've never played in a tourney before. What do the tournaments run at Ameristar and Hollywood?

Easy call with 4's what the hell?

>>77231963
>>77231953
Especially with his stack wtf. Blumstein is a punter too

Oh god here we go

RED ALERT

>>77231998
>>77232000

Blumstein is going to dry out Hesp

oh boy

This flop what the fuck

wow

OMG HESP!

Is anything a sport?

>hesp

Holy fuck what a donkey

How to punt off chips 101, what the fuck Hesp. Clear call right there, not a shove...still behind pocket 7's

Old people cant fold

ya blew it

Hesp just got BLUMMED

EPIC PUNT

The Hesp blew a 3-1 chip lead

Hesp got hosed. What a flop and then that turn. Poor guy.

>>77232102

He had a hand that did not deserve to go all in. I don't feel sorry for idiocy.

>>77232116

He didn't, but still a crazy board. Impossible for a player like him to get away from.

>>77232116
This. You're only getting called by better. There are essentially no combos your opponent is bluffing with there. I'd be more worried about pocket 7's in that situation. Calling was the right choice. Fucking amateur

stream?

I can't get over what a bad shove that was. He just donked off like 80 million in chips. He must have been tilted still from that previous hand

>>77232116
Top 2 on a dry board like that, should have kept playing his style and called down like he does.

That queens hand from hesp earlier is tilting

Now Blumstein is calling pocket 4s

>>77232153
goatd.net and use the ESPN2 link

>>77231667
lmao lrn2bankroll management

looks like you have trouble keeping cool after a big win

man i havent gotten to follow any of the WSOP this year

which pro / decent name made it the farthest?

>>77231667
limiting losing sessions is practically as important as winning

probably gotta learn to walk away when you're off you're A game whether from taking a bad beat or misplaying a hand

>>77230871

>Poo pee land

who here tryna get boated up danny tanner style

>>77232227
Ruane from last year had another really deep run.

>>77232227
November 9er last year Michael Ruane made it to 10th

Other big names that ran super deep are Dario Sammartino, Max Silver, Marcel Luske, two+two legend and last year November 9er Kenny Hallaert

This was the sickest hand of the tournament though:

Salas has more than hesp now LMFAO

>>77232267
fuck I forgot Connor Drinan and Charlie Carrell too. I was rooting for Carrell big time but he ran kings into aces

now that is a pro level reaction

i'd probably nuke the whole town

>>77232297
Oh fuck that was him wasn't it. Jesus what an upset.

new format favors the younger guys even more right

>>77232340
How do you mean?

>>77232223
>>77232239
How do i avoid tilt lads

>>77232347
less turnaround time putting the marathon final table sessions right after the regular days

>>77232355
That's how it should be desu

I actually think the shorter turnaround favours Hesp because the other guys don't have as much time to watch his tapes and study his tells which there will be A LOT of considering how inexperienced he is and how vocal he is during hands. That seems to be out the window now with him being short-stacked, but in theory I'd say that's it

>>77232384
Makes it even more crazy that Qui Nguyen was able to win last year

Was just a cheeky stab :)

I just feel bad lads, how can you not root for Hesp

>>77232392
Vayo just choked really hard and played like a fucking bitch

>>77232414
what app is that btw? I just use excell to log my stats but I'm open to something new

Holy balls this preflop action.

>folding AQ there
fucking nit

I hate how all the booth guys ignored how many of the Jacks were dead from the preflop action

dudes only real hope was 3 spades

>>77232456
I'm just sad we didn't see a triple knockout.

is there a youtube stream?

t. wants to watch it on my ps4

What event is it?

Can't you console plebs get espn on it?

You have to pay, no?

>>77232533
There is no more November 9?

>>77232530
Not sure, my room mate was watching it on his xbone.

Also thoughts on checking back 52 on that board? Probably thought Hesp would jam if he bet so better just save the chips.

>>77232020
Cock is a sport

>>77232537

Nope. Not sure why.

>>77232537
dumped it because it's 2017

Pollack is the only one trying to play poker

>>77232553

I think he will win this thing.

>>77232537
They are getting rid of it, but haven't given a reason why. Part of it is that it isn't November every 4 years when the US has it's Presidential Election.

>>77232540
gotta play it safe considering the stack and pay jump implications

another scare card to Hesp but what would the other dude be repping now that he wouldnt have already bet. hesp blocking a lot of the T9 combos too

>>77232559
He is clearly the best player left and the only one trying to make moves. Blumstein will punt somehow

>>77232561
With pokergo providing live coverage everyday there is no need to delay it for the ESPN coverage

>tfw want to play main event
>wouldnt want friends and family around
>would probably luckbox a way to a deep run
>everyone creates memes about how autistic and weird it is

>>77232565
Im not sure if hesp knows what blockers are lol

>>77232577
all on the same boat

>>77232573
$.50 has been deposited into your bank account.

But actually there's a point here. Pokergo isn't great, but their main event coverage has been satisfactory. It's just sad that neither them nor ESPN would cover the last level of days 1-4. We didn't get to see the money bubble burst. Just wish they would share the stream with ESPN rather than switch off. I love Ali and Schulman's commentary.

>>77232599
I just wish they showed coverage after the dinner breaks

>>77232606
That's what I was getting at. BS they wouldn't at least show the money bubble bursting on day 3.

HOLY NIT folding AJ on the button. Just pay these losers out already if they are gunna do this

>>77232616
here we go boys

Calling it a night with 80 hands?

See you tomorrow night lads

I play for a living and all of my friends have been really supportive - go for it anon

>>77232842

Do you feel as though you are sometimes inclined to make shitty decisions for the fun of it? Do you think it's possible to be a pro poker player if you have addictive tendencies?

>>77232870
In lower buyin tournaments I'm much more likely to make hero calls. Like if a fun player triple barrels me in a $10 MTT I'll be so much more likely to bluff catch than in a $200.

On the second part, I dont know - I play online so theres no draw of going and degening in the pits and I don't really have any desire to gamble. I assume with strict BRM you could make it work.

Pollak will win. The one hand with Ott where he was able to sniff out his river bluff convinced me that he is the best player at the table.

Hesp is just a meme. Go home Grandpa
