@RGPokerSeries When are you guys going to submit the @HBRPoker events to @TheHendonMob ? I cashed in 2 of my 3 events and would love them on my profile.

@Raistlin1672 @padspoker Because let's add randomness to our randomness.

@FaithFilledFitz @padspoker In tournament play, because of the denominations, you rarely get the chance to go 20 high.

🚨 WHEN FEELINGS KILL COMMON SENSE
Being nice isn’t bad... until it breaks your country.
Some people care so much about everyone’s feelings, they forget about facts, safety, and their own neighbors.
This is called suicidal empathy. Basically, being so compassionate it turns self-destructive. Sounds wild, but it’s real.
Gad Saad says we’re overloaded with emotion, treating every stranger like family, even criminals or enemies, because it feels good.
But feelings aren’t policies, and this kind of kindness is backfiring hard.
Take U.S. borders: in 2023, a record 2.5 million illegal crossings swamped the system.
It’s not just overcrowding. Over 15,000 non-citizens were arrested for serious crimes in one year.
Fentanyl smuggling? Also up. And guess what? Those costs hit taxpayers: $150 billion a year, enough to help veterans or disaster victims.
But sure, let's keep pretending open borders are just "nice."
Then there's the “defund the police” mess. Meant to help communities, it led to fewer arrests and way more murders. A 70% jump in Minneapolis alone.
The people hurt most? The same communities it claimed to protect.
Bonus chaos: in the UK, people got arrested for tweets. That’s where feelings-over-facts leads.
DEI programs? Started with good intentions. Now they’re breaking schools and jobs.
A Forbes study said they mostly help rich elites, not everyday people. Harvard’s diversity policies even lowered team performance by 12%.
In companies, DEI training actually made bias worse. All because we’re scared to say, “Let’s hire the best person.”
It gets worse. All this empathy-for-everyone has made people stop trusting each other... down 20% since 2000.
This isn’t about being heartless. It’s about using your brain with your heart.
It's called “reasoned empathy,” where compassion meets common sense.
Help people, yes... but stop lighting your own house on fire to keep others warm.

At this pivotal time for our country, we have a choice. We can be an America in renaissance or we can be an America in decline, writes Leon E. Panetta

Heh... I didn't even see the (One Day Event) stuff on there since I was looking for the structure sheets so much.
As for their website, they are a little... lacking. They only have the current month's calendar up at time. So in a few days (hopefully) they will have September's up and the Circuit will be on there.
Thanks for your attention, sir.

When I visit wsop.com/tournaments/20…, they mention which events are 1-day events.
It is strange that the Council Bluffs website doesn’t even mention the WSOP Circuit series.
Dave Mark@IADaveMark
@WSOP @Kevmath We are a week out from the Circuit event at @HorseshoeIowa @HBRPoker and the web site doesn't have structure sheets or any data at all. We don't even know if some are single or 2-day events. Kinda hard to plan the week out. Any news on this?

Today, the Trump administration took a decisive step to throw out a disastrous Carter-era mistake and begin reviving true merit-based hiring in our federal government.
When America was at her peak, our government hired people based on merit: Those who scored best on aptitude tests got hired.
Forty-four years ago, the Carter Administration caused incalculable damage to our country when it threw those tests out and instead prioritized DEI principles — hiring based on sex and skin color instead of ability.
Three Republican administrations could have rolled back that disastrous decision. But they didn’t. It took the Trump administration to finally put America and Americans first.

Presidents continue to use emergency powers to accomplish new goals.
Except for a 14-month window in the 1970s, the US has lived under one or more declared "national emergencies" continuously since *1933.*

@lonmceachern Back in the days of ESPN coverage, your production team ensured a story line of a villain each year. Someone we all wanted to root against. Curtis Rystadt, Kassouf, etc. Now Khabrel is doing it all on his own without production help.

Pretty funny. Martin just may have a longer shelf life than Will Kassouf.

@VanessaKade @Kevmath @WSOP @GGPoker Yeah, after having it fixed last night it gave me trouble again this AM but the CC company said there were no blocks. As I was walking to the verification table, I tried again and it went through. So yeah, a timed thing it might have been.
English

@IADaveMark @Kevmath @WSOP @GGPoker It unlocked for me, I think it must've been a timed thing, like just got locked for an hour
English

@VanessaKade @WSOP @GGPoker I’d suggest going to the WSOP+ Support desk (Player Services room, desk along the front right side of the room, near Online Verification). This might/might not™️ be the best possible solution.
