One of the first times playing with him I bluffed $40,000 in a hopeless spot because I had T2o and wanted to show him I could beat him with it. As he raked the pot he just looked at me and smiled and said “do you know how many people have given me their $ trying to do that”
what Vogelsang is doing in this (and every) tournament is at a minimum angleshooting (exploiting loopholes in rules for unethical gain) and every player every tournament should make sure a floor has a personal clock on him after 5 seconds, one that lasts 5 seconds too.
I will say the main takeaway for me from this entire poker scandal is really appreciating how blessed I am to get to play public honest games in Las Vegas where anyone is welcome and everyone is trustworthy. Maybe more people should try that path instead.
Andrew Tate being arrested because he tipped off his location by making posts trying to dunk on Greta Thunberg is one of the wildest cause and effects I've ever seen lmao
Can not express in words at this time how much I have been inspired by Doyle over my adult life and how blessed and honored I have felt to get to sit at the same table with him day in and day out and truly get to know the man in a way that few will ever get to. Heartbroken..
Thrilled to win my third bracelet today, overcoming a 20:1 chip deficit then having a 20:1 chip advantage before it coming back to only 2:1 before winning. Had to beat the best to get here, and that makes it all the sweeter. Thank you to everyone.

What will it take guys to make this happen for the fans out there
On the one hand none of us are good enough to truly know who amongst the best is the best NL players in these things, but on the other hand it’s just obviously Mateos no questions asked.

as an ambassador of the sport to fleece 5k from a brand new player.

do the right thing when you see this and give him back his $ this is absurd
One thing I'll always remember is the biggest compliment in my mind that he ever paid me, the time when he said that of everyone in my generation he thought only me and

Zverev just got an ace on second serve and turned around to taunt me with the shush symbol. He double faults next point and I shush him back. He’s shook
Well we're finally here, the biggest poker day of the year. That's right today is the 25k horse final table where I look to beat Phil Ivey and win my 4th bracelet of the summer. I expect the Horseshoe to be loud today
This was an incredible story, and I'd love if anyone with knowledge would reach out to talk about the veracity of it. Really fascinating stuff, but I always worry about Gell-Mann Amnesia with things like this.
Helped lead 50 people out of Ballys, while Galen Hall kicked down a barricaded door and broke a hole in the ceiling and hid his group of people inside the walls. The definition of fancy play syndrome.
Someone ask

if my wsop run is good enough for him to unblock me here finally. And if so can he unblock

The stage is set for an epic $800,000 showdown, read all about it here:
6th in the Horse. Feeling very bitter right now but it will pass shortly. Blessed to have had the summer I had and to have had the joy of coming out here and competing every day. This reminds me of how much I still love the game and how beautiful I find it and the people who play
Now that its all over, can we all agree that the real WSOP POY this year was
@Joeingram1
for basically singlehandedly stopping the blight that was the Rio vendors in the halls. This one's to you Papi.
What an incredible final hand. It just is what it is. First time in forever that I truly wished both of the final 2 would have won. We're all lucky that it ended like this with these 2 people
How I “prepare” for big poker tourney
1) meditate for 10 minutes to calm mind
2) listen to Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to get hyped. Almost always Power , All of the Lights, Monster.
Another day of a ton of people tuning into a boring stream game while in Bobby’s room there were almost 2 separate fistfights. Be the change you want to see in the world.
Every year I usually live tweet the final table and am overly aggressive on my opinions about the hands but this year has been such a joy to watch that I’m just happy as a fan of poker to get to watch the action.
The powerful combo of Will Smith laughing at the joke, looking at his wife not laughing, and then deciding what he needs to do. Clear decisionmaking by a man from West Philadelphia born and raised, on the playground is where he sp
Both my biggest strength and biggest weakness as a gambler is that no result will ever bring happiness or satisfaction. There’s always a taller mountain to climb. 24th in plo8 and fuming I didn’t win , no perspective at all. Still out here trying to win 10 bracelets this summer.
These people are making the biggest decisions they'll ever make in their entire professional career, and these are the moments all of us in this community care about the most. Let's elevate these moments and make them special, not complain about the tension and beauty of a moment
RIP to Norm Macdonald, my personal favorite comedian of all time. One of the only times I've ever truly loved getting to meet a celebrity, and just the most brilliant deconstructionist of what comedy is and what the aspects of a joke truly are.
regarding people caring to talk about the clock Almost being called last night its very simple : Stephen Song can take time because he is genuinely thinking you all are not allowed to take time because in your head is only going "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck" I hope this clears it up
people laugh and think its funny because they don't really know how to respond otherwise but look at this shit it is so embarrassing and sad. Just acts like someone that's never gotten any push-back in his life because he never has
Chip leader 5 left the $10k Dealers Choice
@phil_hellmuth
has half a bet left and is the only person in the world that would rather bag up to end the night than play 7 more minutes of the level
How can you not love this guy? 😂😂😂
When
@phil_hellmuth
charges 1.8 markup for a 10k TURBO KNOCKOUT, there should be an SEC investigation because he is literally defrauding people out of their money. You should be embarrassed to hustle people out of their $20 investments. Absolutely pathetic
Hey
@Joeingram1
just overheard the best line I’ve ever heard at a 1-3 game behind me. Guy asks if they want to switch to PLO. Other guy “is that the game where we get cards until someone has 21?” “No that’s blackjack” “oh I don’t know PLO then, whatever let’s try it”
Everyone correctly giving Zhang his due, but

With no disrespect to anyone else, wtf is Triton doing keeping

on the bench here. Call them up to the main game, this is why you brought them on.
Had a fun day sitting next to Jeremy all night in the 3k horse and he got the joy of watching me final table the 10k online tourney which will finish out live. See yall there for that one let’s get the 4th.
@LandonTice
once i clicked call and then my laptop magically ended up through a wall and I purposely used it with a 20% working screen for the next year as punishment
As one of, if not the biggest, proponent of fast play in poker, and someone who calls clock on people constantly, I think the constant amount Norm is going off here on this broadcast is absolutely insane and he couldn't be more wrong on the tanking of poker that hurts the game.
Honestly the only thing that would have made this hand better was if
@YoHViral
called the all-in which I genuinely think he should have. Anyone else have thoughts on that?

Knew I had to make a FT to pass Jeremy in POY but didn’t bank on him making the final table with me. Best POY race there’s ever been continues tomorrow.
@PokerNews
@WSOP
He should be barred from every casino in America. Pathetic to not even use stronger language or refer to his Foxwoods chips in the article
How wild is it that there can be a table this deep in the main event with floes foxen Rast and astedt at it and how lucky are all of us to get to watch it right now. I hope for their sake the table breaks soon though!
Big shout out to the server who didn’t blink an eye when I ordered 120 drinks and the Flip and Go warriors that helped me drink them last night. I’ll be back there soon since I didn’t win my seat last night, for anyone still looking to do them.
Serious Controversy in Pro fishing tournament as multiple-time winners caught stuffing lead weights and other fish filets in their fish to have the heaviest catch to win hundreds of thousands in prizes.
After 7 days of poker it’s been a nice easy stretch into what will become more grueling. Tracked my hours and was only at the tables for 87 hours these 7 days. It’ll pick up in the weeks to come. Hear Hellmuth couldn’t play his best event because he played TWO days though!
Here's your regular reminder that when
@phil_hellmuth
trashes people for having small pieces of themselves in a super high roller he is 100% guaranteed to have the smallest piece of himself of any single person that played the event.

To shitcan the best to ever do the job for doing his job in the exact way that all demos love is the epitome of the stupid and vapid lack of thought it takes to become a TV exec in the first place
You might be right David. Coincidentally I have also been removed from the broadcast lol. But I won't put the little monkey hat on and dance around for you or them. Tourney is soft with some incredible players in there battling. These are facts. It's still an incredible sweat.
When Daniel Day Lewis doesn’t break character for a year you call him a brilliant method actor. But when the twitch streamer who dressed like a person not allowed near schools and had a mustache to match gets caught flirting with minors all of a sudden it’s not method acting.
I’ve gotten to see 3 absolute masterpieces in theaters all this week. Doubt that has ever happened in my lifetime. Go watch Parasite, The Irishman, and Knives Out. I’ve been completely revitalized on the wonder of seeing a film in theater as experience.
