And she said she'd fold if she had the Ace of hearts.
She should stop talking... No one folds Aces full (with pocket aces).

PROTIP ... add "[SPOILERS]" to the front of your thread title. Some people might not want to know who's winning/busting until they can watch it themselves.

Thread title's changed to - DAMMIT! I didn't want to know ESPN were covering the WSOP until I could find out for myself!
How does everyone feel about the new WSOP format/coverage? Live Coverage? To me it seems sterile. Showing every hand is boring. Seems likes its been this way for the last few years. I guess miss the old days. The witty commentary of Norman Chad, the prop bets skits, the nuts & the old theme music. Don't get me wrong, I love how I can still turn on ESPN and watch it for free, but it just seems like it's lost its old charm. Am I being too nostalgic?
Love this music...

What I miss is all the coverage on non-hold em games.

Sorry folks. Was not thinking.

Not a knock on her personally, as I played a charity tourney with her a couple years back and she was super nice and obliging to everyone, and her work outside poker is totally legit, but I wanna punch her TV persona in the throat... Between the sore loser schtick and acting like she only loses to monster coolers, she tilts me to no end.
Sorry..she's an absolute c***. Nice to you because there was nothing at stake. Like visiting a children's hospital to her. Won a high rollers a few years ago at PCA and tipped zero. Fine her prerogative but she treated staff there like shit and acted completely entitled. She tilts me to know end. Couldn't have happened to a better person. Makes Barbara Enright look like a saint.

Selbst hate isn't new or unfounded, obviously. My personal experience is super-limited, but watching her on TV just makes me swear at my TV and wish her agonizibg pain. You get no arguments here, sir.

So this just happened...from the WSOP.com live updates:
Some awesome moments can be created at a poker table. A hand that just went down in the Brasilia room is a pure testament.
Erich Maumann opened to 1,300 from early position. One seat over, Alex Louro three-bet, making it 5,000. Action then folded to Eric Berger in late position, and Berger cold four-bet to 12,000. It folded back around to Maumann, who five-bet to 25,000. Louro wasn't done either, six-bet jamming all in for about 32,000. Berger hadn't seen enough, so he seven-bet shoved over top for about 64,000, and Maumann, not wanting to miss out on the party, snap-called, having less.
Maumann: Ah As
Berger: Ac Ad
Louro: Ks KD
An unreal collection of hands was displayed across the table, and Louro was in trouble.
The flop came Th Jh Qh , giving Maumann a flush draw. The draw was completed when the 9h fell on the turn, surely giving him a lock on the hand.
His opponents were only drawing to a chop, and that meant one of two cards has to hit the river — the eight or king of hearts.
The dealer patted the table and swept out the 8h , completing a straight flush on board.
All three pulled back their chips as the table and surrounding crowd were stunned at the ridiculous outcome.
"That was the craziest shit I've ever seen in my life," yelled one of the tablemates.

Craziness but I'm fairly sure the Kh on the river wouldn't have gotten the other two guys a chop

Selbst deserves credit for even thinking about folding there.

I actually have liked the ESPN coverage. I'll take "real" poker over 2 hours of bad beats, and amaze-balls calls any day. 3-table coverage means not watching someone tank for 6 minutes every hand, which wrecked last year's WSOP.
That said, I miss being able to see other games, and I wasn't about to pay $10 a month to watch other coverage - mostly because I hate "automatic renewing" charges for something I'm likely to watch infrequently at best.

630k would have been 150th place.
I agree, but banning him from every Caesar owned poker room because he was once suspected of counting cards in blackjack seems like extreme bullshit to me.Wow just read the article. Kid is an idiot. You don't shit where you sleep..........

How many times do you allow someone to blatantly angle-shoot your home games before you exclude him from your home game? When you exclude him he insists you call the police. You move and he shows up, saying "Oh, I thought you only banned me from your other house" (another angle-shoot if you ask me), and requires another call to the police to get him to leave.
Not bullshit. Counting cards is a deliberate attempt to angle-shoot the house. You take the risk and you suffer the penalties if caught.
You're absolutely right. My problem with it is more about my problem with the issue of card counting. If they don't like it, they should use a 100 deck shoe.
But the bottom line is that they can ban you for it, so you're right.
It is bullshit. As a former casino floorman when backing off suspected counters I always informed them they were welcome to continue partaking of all the other casino games

This is an intriguing situation. Card counting is 100% legal. However the casino reserves the right to refuse service to anyone (that is not part of a protected class... i.e. race, religion, etc). So this person must have been overstaying his welcome on may occasions in order to get "trespassed." He may have been counting many years ago... before ever getting in to poker. Seems to me he was likely fully aware of his risk, hence trying to get around security.

I seem to recall that in 2013, he got drunk at Harrah's or the Quad, and had to be removed - but I might be mixing up stories here. Point is, if you make your living in a casino, you had best be on your best behavior - just like anybody else in their workplace.
Edit: confirmed my own error - it was David Diaz who got banned in 2013.
I'm skeptical. That, to me, seemed like the kind of statement that gets tossed into a story to sway opinions.
Were there any details given about his attempts to bypass security?
I'm not inclined to believe it. I mean, I assume he registered with his true name?

Trespassing is waaaaaaaay down the list. Never really get that far, even the stubborn ones tend to stop after a hammer to the left pinkie finger.
