Jeez, it would be a shame if his address somehow leaked out....🙄 Read "Kitten killer who microwaved cats is freed after just a DAY in jail" on SmartNews: l.smartnews.com/p-86K4izoA/mzs…

@MoMohler In what world did this ever look like it was a good idea ?

We used to build things in this country.

@MariaHo @WSOP Looking forward to watching. What is your opinion on the shot clock situation? I would be in favor of having a 30 second pre- flop and a 60 second post- flop clock. What do you think?

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+!

@pokerface_ash_ Wow, that was quite an inspirational post. I Never thought much about him until I read this post, now I'm rooting for him....

2014… I rolled up to the Bellagio with my entire bank account in cash. At the time, that meant a couple hundred dollars. I sat down at a $1/$3 game with money I couldn’t afford to lose. But I wanted to play in a Vegas poker room so bad. Almost immediately, I lost close to half my buy-in. And then out walks Greg Mueller from Bobby’s Room. The guy I had watched on Poker After Dark and ESPN. FBT = Full Blown Tilt. The same guy whose words had already changed the way I looked at poker… and he had absolutely no idea. There I was in a tiny $1/$3 game, watching him walk past after probably playing pots worth more than an average house. I gave him the goofiest, somewhat starstruck smile as he passed by. I texted my friends on the Strip, “OMG, I just saw a poker pro I watch on TV.” A little while later, he came back around. And then he sat down at my table. Just for fun. This man had just come from the biggest cash game on the planet and sat down with us, running up a stack like it was nothing, while I was over there stressing about a couple hundred dollars. We started talking, and I got to tell him how he unknowingly changed my life. Rewind to 2013. I had just started watching poker, playing on Full Tilt, trying to figure out what the hell this game even was after discovering it at a team bonding night in college. I dusted off a couple hundred dollars on my credit card and lost sleep over it. But I was hooked. I didn’t know anyone in my life who played. I was just fascinated. So I did what so many of us did back then. I watched the WSOP Main Event on ESPN. That’s when I saw it. Greg was making a deep run, and they did a segment on him. He talked about retiring from professional hockey and being left with this competitive void. Then he found poker. He talked about how he realized he could outwit, outsmart, and outwork people at the table the same way he had on the ice. How poker gave him back that fire. And something in me lit up. Because I was living that EXACT moment. I had just walked away from being a college athlete and basketball coach. And the hardest part wasn’t the lifestyle shift. It was losing that competitive part of myself. That thing that made me feel most alive. I didn’t know where to put it anymore. It clicked… poker was not just gambling. It was a battlefield for the mind. Where you could outwork your competition. Just like in basketball. I loved that. From that point on, poker was different to me. Still a tiny fish… but learning to swim. So there I was a year later, sitting across from Greg at Bellagio, telling him that his ESPN segment had shaped the trajectory of my life. We ended up talking for hours. To this day, Greg is a friend, mentor, and one of the biggest inspirations in my journey through this game. And I still do not know if he fully understands that one ESPN segment helped rewire the way I saw my entire future. So hearing the WSOP Main Event is coming back to ESPN brings all of it flooding back. The nostalgia. The DREAM. Back then, watching the Main on ESPN felt so far away it almost didn’t seem possible. It felt like something that belonged to others. Surely not me. And now I will be playing my fourth Main Event this summer, after cashing for the first time last year, after building a career and a life around this game that I once thought was just a card game on TV. How insane is that? What I love most about poker comes down to competitiveness. It has challenged my biggest insecurities, torn apart my mental walls, and demanded more of me in every element of life, not just at the table. It’s not a card game. It’s a mind sport. And ESPN putting it back on the biggest stage in sports will create more moments like the one I had watching Greg all those years ago. More lightbulbs going off. More athletes, competitors, and dreamers like me realizing this game is so much deeper than what it looks like on the surface. And that’s a beautiful thing. @wsop

@pokerorg Yes, Is there any kind of logic or science to this? Or did they just pull this out of their butt?

SHOT CLOCK EXPLAINED: Today's Day 7 of the World Series of Poker Main Event introduced a "shot clock". This means: ⏰Pre-flop each player has 20sec to act ⏰Each street player has 30sec to act ⏰Players given six 30sec time extensions Any questions?

@jeffplatt Question... When you remove the couple of ridiculously stupid time delays by players ( like the 15 minute one), what is the actual average time for a player to make a decision Post flop?

More time extensions given to players post-dinner break just fyi. Same plan for tomorrow (new extensions beginning of day, more added at dinner break)

@ChancesCards I agree.... What about fixing it by changing the post flop clock to 1 minute?

This needs to be reconsidered immediately. This is so unbelievably unfair to the amateur players. Playing for $10mil and adding this in mostly so it looks good on TV is outrageous. Even the pressure of not having experienced using a shot clock before can be overwhelming. Please put the players first @WSOP

Was Lindsay poisoned ? Here we go....

Good morning everyone... Remember To be kind to each other. Enjoy the day. youtu.be/zRmv9RBB2Xc?is…

@BrynKenney Very well said.....👏 May I also add: "Only treat others as you would have the others treat you"... All the best to you....

I’m incredibly grateful for what poker has given me an opportunity for in life. First to help my family, to grow myself as a person, to meet lots of unique individuals from all over the world that we get to share this game that we love. Hope to show others why it’s the best game in the world, inspire others and let people know they might be very different than others but they aren’t alone in the world either. We all have our struggles, we’re all very gifted and intelligent and finding your creativity in something you love couldn’t be more fulfilling no matter what that is. Wanna share love only, be happy to see others rise and celebrate their successes with them and also be there to know that in the struggle they can get through it and there is a brighter day ahead. I love everyone ❤️ and remember to be kind, you never know what others are going through and no matter what they do to you, you can always choose love and it’s always the most powerful for you, for them, and for the world. Best we can do is try to be better cuz we all want to see a better world 🙏🧘🧙‍♂️🕺🏆🍾😘💪

@ClubWPTGold @NikkiLimo Anything, as long as I don't have to watch Kabrhel eat again....🤢

Please rate me five stars @NikkiLimo

I'd like to add a new wrinkle to this discussion. If poker wants to add new fans and grow its base, Why not have a "Rookie of the Year" award? You could have one for male and one for female. You poker gods could decide what the criteria would be, but it would have to be reasonable so that a lot of new players or REC players could have a chance. Cash prizes and a trophy, and maybe a WSOP entry would make it very attractive to a lot of people.... Would be good for the game.. you agree?

@Parag_Gupta Not to mention stupid and ungrateful.

Nothing against Coco Gauff. However, her rant about US being a tough place for black people is absolutely absurd & callous. Congrats to Karolina Muchova!!! #Wimbledon

@CaitlinComeskey Can't believe how well you're doing these days on the felt. You really must have studied hard.... Congratulations.

In the money in the Main Event with over one million chips 🤑🤑🤑🤠🙏🍀🐎🐎

@Super70sSports 🙋

When you learn to parallel park in this motherfucker, you can forever walk this earth fearing no man.

@xxl23 @berkey11 I suggest that he start an "Only Fan's" room..... but I don't think he's interested.

@berkey11 gg What real world skills do you have?

The dream is dead. Who's hiring?

@berkey11 There's always "Only Fans"..... After all, you have been working out quite a bit... 😄
