Jesus, they certainly gave Portsmouth Grosvenor a makeover. Wheel of fortune, Craps, Cardette, more roulette tables, another bar....

Played the Sunday tournament. Nothing of real note til I went out. Massive pot pre flop with J-10 five way. J-10-4 flop. I check in early position expecting one of these mummy strawberry floaters to bet, but no one sodding does. 5 on the turn, I commit myself, all in elsewhere covering me. I call, he has the flush on the turn, eight puts - miss them all. GG.

I am running super bad this year. Haven't come remotely close to winning that tournament, it's becoming quite sick.

Unlucky!

There is reason for optimism though - your boy Fedor Holz won the One Drop for $5m.

Can anyone remember when episodes start being aired/posted to YouTube of WSOP ME? I'm assuming late July/early Aug?

Usually gets announced at the start of August, usually begins mid-September, might be earlier this year depending on if they decide to make changes with the presidential election.

Not gonna spoil it for those who want to watch it later, but it's an exciting last 27 so far, lots of notables.

Played last night live, cursed to not make a final table. Flop-overshoved a flush draw with K-J on a 9-7-2 board. Called with 8s and I miss my clubs - cruelly he hits an 8 on the turn and I hit my redundant Jack on the river.

How are my chances of managing to avoid spoilers until this airs?

Pretty decent if you stay off poker news websites and don't read YouTube comments etc. If folk here want to be unspoiled then those of us that know will make an effort to put things into spoiler boxes.

Final Table is end of October as expected due to the forthcoming presidential election meaning the weekly episodes should be with us sooner than usual.

$109 but I sat in cheap.

250 runners today but probably 1500 overall.

Lost my first buy in. 10s shoved into Jacks and Kings.

Had the most disgusting second buy in of my life. Got the chip lead in Flight 1C, but then didn't win a single hand for five levels. Ended up short stacked, shoved A-9 over K-10. 10 on the turn. GG.

*sigh*

Not my year.

Unlucky buddy.

I'm guessing based on that WSOP schedule that ESPN are doing the absolutely stupid thing they did last year and splitting the FT into not one, not two, but THREE days.

Watched these a couple days ago. It's disappointing that they start on day 4 after the bubble has already has burst. The first few days are usually more fun and with lots of big names. And you get to see the unknows journey as they progress.

Now even though I have stayed spoiler-free it's obvious from the coverage which of the unknows will make it through (if someone is not on the feature table and they are getting a 5minute video and sob story then they aren't going to bust out anytime soon).

I also don't know if for example Phil Ivey even played this year, or if there were any classic Helmuth lines as he got busted on day 1 (again, no idea if he even played). I'll have to look it up on the internet to find out what happened in the first few days, but I wont be doing that yet for fear of spoilers.

Even just one episode devoted to the pre-bubble action would better than only showing the 2nd half of the tournament.
