Have you ever paused to consider the countless decisions we make each day? Learning how to fine-tune the process can lead to better decision making. In my TEDx talk, I delve into four simple truths about decision-making that could enhance your daily life! 💻: Watch the full talk here: youtu.be/H-0agRnaClE?si…

@ppcClickShark @WSOP as @Ali_Nejad calls it “solver bait” - modern era of poker made it a much more attractive hand than it used to be but you’ll see people misplay the situation

@MariaHo @WSOP why do people praise a 5 bet with a5? it's a massive and unnecessary risk preflop, the street anyone has the least information. weird...

Only 21 players remain on day 8 of the @WSOP Main Event as we play down to the final table. Start-of-day chip leader is 26-year-old Trayner, who doubled when he five-bet shoved with A5s vs. JJ on day 6 and hasn’t looked back. Incredibly, 2019 champ Ensan is still in and looking to be the first to repeat since Johnny Chan in 1988. We’ve got lots of characters in the mix as well as loads of great players. It’s shaping up to be an action-packed day as we play down to the final table. Last day for the day shift- me, @Stapes and @dwpoker will see you at noon PT on @ESPN+!

@mromanell 💯

@MariaHo If Shaun Deeb wins this is he one of 10 best players of all time?

This #WSOP Main Event has already delivered its fair share of shenanigans and storylines, and we’re not done yet. Hossein Ensan is the lone former Main Event champ still standing. Todd Brunson is carrying on the Brunson legacy. Shaun Deeb is once again proving why he’s a perennial Player of the Year contender. Online crusher Pads is still in the hunt. And Congya Zhang is the last woman standing. What will Day 7 bring? I can’t wait to find out!

@el_dog_13 Noon PT today!

@MariaHo When does the coverage start today?! Gonna be awesome!

@whatsthepremise Yes and today too!

@MariaHo Are you on today?

@PokerCookieM @abarone68 🤣

@MariaHo @abarone68 “Cookie Lover” (for any future reference)

@andystackspoker @WSOP 💯 awesome they are all still in today! Gg on your deep run Andy!

@MariaHo Had fun playing with Hossein and Deeb for the first time @WSOP Europe. Rooting for both of them, but Brunson winning would make for an incredible story.

@Sean__Reed 💯

Deeb vs Givens is spectacular for the stream! 😁 We need a Deeb classic slow roll vs Givens to top it off... @WSOP @MariaHo @Stapes

@storiael Unfortunately, there were some issues, but I believe it’ll be back up today

@Kevmath @dwpoker @MariaHo @Stapes can you do something about this please?

If someone decides to tell me that, I'll pass it along. However, it seems like the WSOP Youtube channel stream is either down, or not coming back online. The reasons why you can come up with on your own,

@BrigantiPh54886 I heard there was some issues but should be fixed today!

@MariaHo Why isn't it on YouTube in Canada today?

@whatsthepremise Yep! See you on at noon!

@abarone68 Agreed but was trying to keep every description of each player as concise as possible

@MariaHo Feel like “online crusher” is underselling Pads a bit but knowing him, he’d prefer you give him less praise.

@el_dog_13 Noon!

@WineAboutSport Thank you for the kind words! Lon and Norm will always be goated and paved the way!

I gotta say, I grew up watching the WSOP w/Lon McEachern (shoutout UCSB) & Norman Chad, but the current coverage with @Stapes @dwpoker @Ali_Nejad @NickSchulman @MariaHo is just the best! Everyone has such great chemistry & the actual insights into hand strategy is next level! 💯

@FlynnandO Thank you so much, Flynn! 💜💜💜

@MariaHo Flynn is darn happy with the ESPN choice of commentators (& little side acts), but is beyond thrilled that Maria is back. Glad u didnt opt to quit the pokers entirely, even though you easily could. Family first, and all that.

Day 6 of the #WSOP Main Event is underway. Just 174 players remain from a field of 9,208. Hossein Ensan is the only former Main Event champion still standing. Daniel Hachem, son of 2005 champ Joe Hachem, is keeping a great family storyline alive. And Shaun Deeb continues to show why he’s one of poker’s best. With $10 million up top, the chase is on. I’ll be on the call with @stapes and @dwpoker, and @jeffplatt on the sidelines and @lonmceachern and @RealNormanAChad on the desk. Live NOW on @espn +!

@joeyd56415641 Couldn’t fit every storyline in my post but def on the radar obv!

@MariaHo No mention of boyd or Brunson

@ScottBonzDMI @Stapes @dwpoker @jeffplatt Thanks so much, Scotty!
