2021 APAT WSOP Fantasy League
MintTrav:
Following yesterday's news that the US is reopening its borders to fully vaccinated travellers from 33 countries on 8 November, the WSOP has added two more Day 1s to the Main Event.

It's the one we've been waiting for.
Tonnes of points here as some of the favourites score highly. Every team except one scored some points, but I won't embarrass them by naming them, so no need to worry Luca.
Zinno won his third bracelet against James Chen, both of them having won seven-figure bracelets before, Zinno winning $1.1m in a $25k PLO and Chen winning €2.8m for a €250k WSOPE NLHE. But that's not what this tournament will be remembered for.
Phil Hellmuth came to the final table as chip leader, but it all went wrong, as the hands kept going the wrong way. Phil let rip, as he has many times before, though I think it's the first time he's done it on a WSOP final. Zinno was the main target, and wasn't bothered at all, but plenty of others were horrified, while some pointed out the penalties that have been imposed on other players for lesser offences, while Hellmuth gets a free pass. Should Hellmuth take a rap for this? Does it add to the entertainment? Do players actually enjoy it? Is the WSOP at fault for condoning it? Do people even care? Is he mad? Are you still reading this?.....

Hard to believe, but they have come up with a tournament even more stupid than the tag team.
The first stage is consists of one hand, with everyone all-in. The table-winner is in the cash and advances to the second stage, which is normal NLHE.
Maybe they thought that, as the first round is a pure gamble, it would give amateurs an equal cashing opportunity with the professionals. In fact, it had the opposite effect. Amateurs wandered off if they lost once or twice, but the pro's who are padding their cashing resumes just kept rebuying until they got through. At $1k per shot, it was an inexpensive way to guarantee a cash, so Negreanu entered nine times and David Williams had nineteen shots before both notched up another cash.
And that's all I've got to say about this nonsense.
