in Poker Chat

The 2024 WSOP has begun.

Please feel free to add to the thread by posting anything of interest from this year's WSOP.

I'll try & post a few photos as we go along, plus news of any Brits doing well, but really it would be great if some of you contributed or commented too.

Also any questions about the WSOP, fire away. I may not be able to answer them, but between us, we probably know someone who will.

    This man never looks any different. Note he's got an angle - "buy my book". In Vegas, everyone has an angle...

    Huck Seed's got himself a weirdo beardo...

    He has 4 WSOP Bracelets incidentally.








    This is him back in the day...

    Jack Effell looking well, looks like he's lost a few stones.

    A very polarising figure. Must confess, I like him very much. Being "Headmaster" to thousands of poker players, none of whom are ever wrong & many of whom lack social skills due to spending so much time "grinding" online is not an easy gig at all.

    Event # 1 Event #1: $5,000 Champions Reunion No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout (8-Handed) began yesterday with 499 players, of whom 99 remain.

    Chip leader seems to be Qui Nguyen with 663,000. ("Nguyen" is pronounced "Win").


    Top Brit seems to be Darius Samuel (475,000), who is shown as coming from Grimsby.

    The only other Brit I could see was Toby Lewis with 104,000.

    Vegas tips from Joey Ingram;




    1. Get a humidifier ASAP for your room - Vegas is super dry and this will help you breathe

    2. Drink lots of water and stay hydrated over long sessions - dehydration can severely impact your ability to focus

    Over at Bellagio in the cash games, seems like Matt Berkey had a good night.

    Anyone care to guess how much he has in front of him? (PS - I don't know the answer).

    Current leader in "Worst Tweet of the 2024 WSOP" is this....



    "crowded wsop hallways, long bathroom lines & sitting at a table for 12 hrs with a cocky/energetic gen-zer"




    Mate, you are one of the luckiest guys in the world to be playing the WSOP & probably spending tens of thousands of dollars. If you are going to moan about it before it's barely started, you need a reality check.

    Here's the GREAT MAN himself, Allan Kessler, aka Chainsaw.


    I might just post all his tweets as the Series progresses & do it on a separate thread. Like him or loathe him (there's no in-between) he is some character...

    This was over at Venetian, but a perfect example of how PLO8 pots can get real messy...
