I like Jungle. I would love to see him going as far as possible. Also old school is doing pretty well (Seidel and Brunson).

That's incorrect, he blinded out day one, he was busy playing the cash game. He busted about 3 hours ago.

Blinded or Busted it simply means hes not gonna be at at the FINAL TABLE of 2013 wsop main event.
In cash game hes one of the best , but in tournament poker he's just an ordinary Pro who never made it to the Final Table on any WSOP Main Event ,but who knows maybe someday.

So only the good tournament players make it to the WSOP MainEvent final table? Did you follow his prop bet of trying to win a WSOP bracelet in the past? (at which time he did actually get HeadsUp in one of the large field nlhe events).

Every poker player knows its a combination of Luck & Skill to win a WSOP main event .
You can believe whatever you want , but Tom Dwan's tournament accomplishment will not impressed Phil Helmuth or Johny Chan.
Its just show that tournament Poker is totally different from cash game .

He played day 2 so he had a chance even after missing day 1. It was like 77 or 88 all in on a 965 flop and he ran into JJ. He's definitely not a tournament player but I think he'll get there if he can get enough prop bets down. He crushed the cash games so its hard to criticize him when he's making more money from them.

He didn't seem to imply that he crushed the cash games in his interview.

They asked how he was doing in the cash games and he had an awkward reaction and said Doing a little better I guess.

Was also funny when the lady asked whats next for him and he looked stumped. like he literally looked like he had no ****ing clue what to do with his rich self lolololol

what a degen

But Tom Dwan is real young and I do not think he has played a big number of tournaments so I do not know how he could be compared with somebody like Phil Helmuth.

How many are still in it and how many until they are in the money?

i would really like to see Andy Bloc win it. I have been around alot of players in my almost 40 years of making the rounds and he is 1 of the good guys, and has had more than a fair share of bad luck in wsop events. dont know if he is in it but if he is thats my pick

I wouldn't expect any woman who plays poker to fit, unless she's playing small quantities recreationally.

Which is why women are such a small % of the field. The poker mindset is not normal among them.
I am thinking you have never had the chance to play against Jenny Harmon. She has been clobbering us men for years and is one of the most intimidating players i have ever seen , man or woman. Would love to see her win it.

Is there no live coverage? Talking heads on the floor bitching about this or that would be better than nothing.....

WSOP promotion team has phailed!

There is coverage on a number of poker news sites but as mentioned in here, the weekly ESPN show will be aired as usual.
