WSOP 2018 Main Event

[danielnajdek]

You gotta have some luck to win. In 2009 Cada was all-in with deuces and treys against over-pairs and flopped sets both times to survive.

Oh yeah for sure. I remember that guy who won a couple of years ago. In heads up he kept getting premium hands.

Joe Mckeehan that was. I've never seen anyone run as good as he did on a final table

 

[red+black]

Manion check-called 3 streets and more specifically a river bet from Dyer with just AQ on a [J95] [K] [8] board

He ties with AQ, he beats Q[76432], T[76432], 7[432]. 6[432], 43, 42, 32.

Watching the Day 7 coverage now. Silly me, I missed what Manion is clearly putting Dyer on. Axhh, most likely AThh, but such a narrow range. He even loses to bluffs such as A8hh or A9hh.

that was incredible. it seemed like every hand

Cada becomes the first person to win >$2+ million twice in the Main Event

 

[red+black]

Would be a great effort if Cada does better than 5th

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

Cada shove with 5s gets through with Miles folding 7s

 

[Ekomaira]

Miles kinda reminds me of Norman Reedus minus the hair

 

[Ekomaira]

* that was tense

 

[danielnajdek]

I think if he bets 50 mil there that Dyer is still calling.

I was gonna say he reminds me of Bryce Gibbs

Only now watching the coverage for the first time. I think Cada's shove for 48 bigs was unnecessary.

If Cada won the race, he would have guaranteed himself top 3 and the chip counts would have been:
Dyer - 168,500,000
Cada - 97,600,000
Manion - 84,400,000
Cynn - 38,375,000
Miles - 6,900,000

But if Cada more sensibly called the 3-bet pre then folded on the K89 flop:
Dyer - 167,350,000
Manion - 83,750,000
Miles - 63,700,000
Cada - 40,750,000
Cynn - 38,225,000

Miles has to have AK at worst. I doubt he 3-bets with AQ/TT/99/88/77.

I think the only hand he 3-bet folds is JJ.

I was gonna say he reminds me of Bryce Gibbs

yep I can definitely see that

 

[Ekomaira]

cojones

 

[red+black]

if only Cynn called 4.5 hours ago! Even if he was wrong, he still would have had almost 40% of the chips.

I disagree that the last 3 days should be 9->6 then 6->3 then 3->1. I think it should depend on number of BBs each player has left and play should not have to end when a player busts.

Shaun Deeb won a 2nd bracelet the other day. Every year since 2000 one person has won 2+ bracelets and this year almost broke that trend.

 

[red+black]

lol current stacks as per live reporting:
Cynn - 66 bigs
Miles - 65 bigs

Deeb and Johnny World both through to Day 2 of the Closer.

 

[red+black]

when blinds go up to 2M/4M/500k, the avg stack will be down to 49 bigs.

After that, which we probably won't get to, 2.5M/5M/750k, avg stack will be 39 bigs.

Have I missed anyone?

I missed at least one:

I was rooting for Miles until I saw that Will Kassouf was on his rail.

Also LOL at them finally getting it all in and chopping with 7-high.
