Ambassadors from 888 Poker have captured the world series of poker 2021. I noticed the distinctive 888 stripes on at least two players at the final table.🙂

My understanding is - especially for "unknown players" - such deals to wear a patch are made less than an hour before they sit down at the table. They negotiate a payment, sign some paperwork and pin the patch on their shirt. Easy bonus money!!
It would be nice if someone with knowledge of this process would comment on how it all works and how much money they usually get... CardsChat does have a number of pros such as Dara O'Kearny, Collin Moshman and Katie Dozier, and two popular players I didn't even realize, Jeff Gross and Ryan "protentialmn" LaPlante. Maybe a mod can ask one of them to comment on it!
I do not know ,
Should Holmes have bet on the flop ,
and after Aldemirs' 3 bet check raise , should he have called with KQ on this dry for him board ??
It seems very loose play for HU WSOP Main Event ...
Then this K comes on the turn .
Fate .....

$250,000 Super High Roller Final Table | World Series of Poker 2021
The stream began roughly 15 minutes ago and will last for the rest of the hour on YouTube. Adrian Mateos takes a huge chip lead into the final five of this $250,000 No Limit Hold'em event.

Adrian Mateos, another Euro beast.
It's been quite odd to see some of the reactions elsewhere when European players have succeeded at this WSOP. Yes, most can be written off as pretty immature forum/You Tube style comments. But Aldemir, Schemion and now Matoes have all been critiqued in one way and another and I will admit it has grated on me at times.
It seems to stem from a lack of familiarity (Captain Obvious reporting for duty) and if a Euro centric player has not based himself primarily in the US there seems to be a 'can you believe this guy?' take to it all...and that is being polite.
Even the likes of Brent Hanks and Ali Nejad seemed to need to reassure watchers (themselves?) that Schemion was a force, had a huge tourney winnings and had earned over seven figures a year since 2013.
The reality in most cases is quite simple. Most Europeans can jump online and enter live events at 18 years of age. They have online, the EPT as well as domestic tours available to play in. They have a three year head start before even discussing talent regarding their games.
Most know who Chidwick or Mateos are but dip a little into the European talent pool and people will realize how deep it runs.
I realized I had a certain bias a few years ago watching Asian players, in the main through the recently established Triton series. As the founder members were billionaires, I got the impression most Asian players were loose and unsophisticated. Did not take long to be disavowed of the notion. Though I still think it fair to say Asians generally do like a gamble, there appear to be a lot of sophisticated players rising through the ranks as poker's reach broadens. And once they start taking down chamionships and bracelets I do not believe it will be because they have 'luck-boxed' their way to a win.
Well done Adrian Mateos.

Just wanted to give a big thumbs up to the WSOP website itself - it would seem many of us have followed along via their site.
Few could keep tabs all on the entire series in real time so it ended up being an invaluable resource to keep abreast of everything in the most timely manner, to find results of any and all tournaments.
Kudos to the WSOP.

So the two $50,000 high rollers (PLO and NLHE) have produced some interesting play particularly from Negreanu...and Helmuth needs a mention.
It finally seemed to sink into Negreanu at the $250K high roller that perhaps he needed to ease up on the vlogging and concentrate a little more on the poker. It did not pay off in that event but it has in the next two 50Ks.
