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.

Carl 2    8                  
Simon A    8                  
Carl 1    1                  

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.

Daniel Alaei    John Juanda           Mike Leah    Robert Campbell   
Daniel Dvoress    Johnny Chan           Mike Matusow    Julien Martini   

Despite not having a win, Phil is unquestionably the star of the show so far, results-wise and otherwise, with three final tables, four cashes and one attempted burning down of the Rio. Rob Mizrachi is our only other player with more than one final table. Shaun Deeb and Dans Buzgon and Zack have also cashed four times, while Zinno, Chad Eveslage and Vanessa Kade have had three, but Ben Yu leads the way by quietly racking up five cashes so far, ie he has cashed in 25% of the tournaments held.

Do you want to play mixed games like Dylan Linde, who won the Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better bracelet? Now you can!

This is the first event where none of us got any points. There were pro players in this, but I don't really recognise many names near the end. JJ Liu was 5th, while Sofia Lovgren and Ebony Kenney also cashed. Third-placed Mikiyo Aoki was runner-up in this same event in 2014.

Kitty Kuo broke the Girl Code with this Tweet and got some blowback for not supporting women etc.

On the one hand, yeah support women. On the other, when men are told not to play this event because there are women playing who are intimidated to play against men and this is their chance to play, this is a much weaker-than-normal field.

Ebony Kenney went straight from the Women's event to The Orleans to beat a field of 1,135 players. There is talent among the women players.

Drinan has earned a lot of points for Michael already and came within touching distance of his second bracelet of the year. It's a shame he didn't get it, as it means that his most memorable moment will remain the time he wrongly accused an amateur who beat him in the Heads-Up event of cheating. I had Hughes and Zack, but on different teams.

Drinan doing the shoulder touch. A lot of players do this, but I can't tell you why. I've been trying for years to find out what this is about.


Two faces of double bracelet-holder Brett Shaffer, who finished third in the 8-Game. Set the alarm ten minutes earlier when you're scheduled for the final table Brett.


A well-balanced final table. Zack, Drinan, Shaffer and Hughes on one side; Leng and Schuyler Thornton on the other.

Over 1,500 entrants, and we only got one into the money. It's not all our fault - a few other pro players took a shot, but didn't last in this one, so there were hardly any well-known players in the shake-up. John Bunch, who was 8th, has had some big results previously and five cashes so far, including 4th in #12, but otherwise the final table was a resume-free zone.

Another final table for Racener, while perennial cashers Kade, Yu, Negreanu & Laplante also weighed in. We haven't seen anything from Seidel til now, but now he's on the scoreboard. He's just the type that could win a bracelet from nowhere. No-one has Moorman in their team since he was substituted out, but I decided to leave him on the list to annoy you when he makes a final. That's bracelet-winner and 81-time WSOP casher Moorman. Please yourselves.

Galen Hall reached heads-up, having arrived straight from the Silver Dollar Saloon in Dodge City. It was quite a change of image from his last final table.
