WSOP Main Event! [SPOILERS]

Poker Orifice · Jul 8, 2011

So who's gonna take it down this year?
i've got a bet on 'George Kostanza' & see that he's playing Day 1a & currently sitting with ~60,000 chips! Go George!!!

My 2nd picks are gboro & csimmsux

Oil_Fan · Jul 8, 2011

Will Daniel Negraneau run deep (he's not been doing well this year @ wsop)? Probably not...
Can Michael Mizrachi make it to the final table again? Who knows..he is good
Will Matt Afleck not take another HUGH bad beat?? He does get emotional about this stuff
Can Jonathan Duhamel repeat??? Magic 8 Ball says "highly unlikely"

Cooking · Jul 8, 2011

I think Phil Hellmith is going to make a great WSOP. He's making a very solid WSOP this year, he already ended up in 2nd place 3 times. I think Main Event is going to be his time.

I think there are 4 different day 1's, so they'll be coming up.

Oil_Fan · Jul 8, 2011

I know that Daniel Negranu was trying to decide between day 1c or 1d. My guess is a lot of them aren't planning on playing their day 1 until later and probably are not officially registered.

George Kostanza (from Seinfeld) is sitting in 148th after Day 1a (63,150 chips)
Go George!!!!

TheLipoFund at 102k at the end of day 1, def gonna win

Pascal-lf · Jul 8, 2011

Anyone know when coverage starts? I think I read somewhere it was Day 3 - Thursday?

dj11 · Jul 8, 2011

They should make it a rebuy. Bust out on day one?, rebuy for the last day.

Pascal-lf · Jul 8, 2011

FWIW they do that in a bunch of tournies already, but it's termed a re-entry not a rebuy to spare confusion

Marginal · Jul 8, 2011

I reckon that the November 9 will be filled with people who turn pro in August and by that definition will be filled with 9 professionals.

I honestly did not know that.

Marginal · Jul 8, 2011

I know you were not saying this about the WSOP, Pascal but for those who get confused easily, he is not refering to the WSOP.

Yes I believe it's day three on a 30 min delay with hole cards exposed on ESPN3.com.

I don't think Helmuth is even playing the main event.

killingbird · Jul 9, 2011

Grinder has busted. I like the chances of someone like George Lind or Steve Gross. Guys are due!

Marginal · Jul 9, 2011

If Phil Hellmuth finishes second in the Main Event, I am pretty sure he is going to kill himself.

Hehe but seriously, past MEs have been won mainly by unknown pros - Duhamel this year for example - and amateurs - Moneymaker. I think that this year it's time for a well known live or online pro to win it
