$1,000,000 One Drop WSOP Event June 30th 2012

[k13]

Hansen wins the seat and Deeb gets on the bottom of the alternate list. So Deeb more than likely won't get in the tournament and will just collect the $1,000,000.

He lost on purpose heads up. Rather take the money than win the seat. He made a deal with Gus. .

Complete crapshoot but if someone will back u go for it, gotta get 9th place to breakeven

[FuzzyDunlop]

I heard Hellmuth won a Satellite to get in.

From what I heard, he didn't play. MGM hosted an 18 person freeroll for whales and when they got 8 handed, they all agreed to let Phil play with the seat and they played out for %'s of him in order of finish.

My friend at Rio said the cash games taking place right now are insane.

Aria has 2k/4k NLH going on the past week. Insane.

Place your bets on event.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Hypothetical, if there were 10 people left and this money was actually important to you (I assume all of these guys are loaded besides the satellite winners) and you were around average in chips and the chip leader goes all in and you've got AA, what do you do?

No offense but this is a dumb question, if you don't instacall you shouldn't be in the tournament or even played in the satellite to get in.

Exactly, why play a 1 mil buyin if you're scared to death to blow a mil, u instacall hope it holds up and if it doesnt tell ur backers well we were all in with the best of it to be a chip leader at the final table and got outdrawn...pokers a bitch sometimes

[PickWinnerAllDay]

If you got in the satellite, you didn't put in a mill. Nowhere close to it. Whatever he's got, hes got around a 20% chance to hit you off, I'm not sure it is worth it to call.

[MoneyLineDawg]

If you play scared you shouldn't play......The goal is to fukkin win the thing, if you are playing just to cash, you are playing in too high of a buy in

Should have never played in the satellite to begin with if you had this mindset though going in......

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Fine, let's say it is KK, now do you fold and just tell yourself he has aces? haha

I mean unless you have some sick read, no don't fold it

If I was placed in there right now, I might have to sit out KK only because 9th place money is obviously sick money for us

But I feel like its a flawed question because anyone playing in there is going for the big payout

A million invested well is a life changing amount of money. Especially at our age. I'd probably play like a pussy.

If you had a mil to buyin to a poker tourney you wouldnt be worried about playing like a pussy to get your mil back and if u did have only about a mil net worth and used it all to buyin to a mil poker tourney against some of the best players in the world you are one sick sob...now call with those Kings bitch!

not really a crapshoot since they start off with 500 bbs. skill will really come out

I get what you're saying. I doubt anyone in this tournament, even the guys that put up the $25k satellite, would even considering folding. But if this million dollar tournament happened in the heyday of online poker where someone maybe satellited into for say $10 or even $100, there is a good chance they would fold AA pre. To win a least a million or to get paid zero, is a big deal for us normal folk.

Blinds going up all the time 500 BBs becomes 250 becomes 125 etc etc if you're hangin around even chips, win and win quick against the best poker players in the world...definition of crapshoot

[lunchbawks]

Whoever wins skyrockets to the top of the all time money list

[bettilimbroke999]

Yup, it will probably be some businessman the new all-time money leader

[CanuckG]

If you're folding aces preflop at any buy-in even on the bubble...-ev big time. I can see folding queens/jacks pre in tough spots.

Let's say your bank account doesn't have $500 and someone bought your satellite seat or whatever and you get there through that?

Folding folding folding pretty much assures you get 1.1 million. 20% chance you walk away with nothing and probably end up killing yourself if 10J of diamonds busts your AA (20-25% I'm guessing)

If you are some brokedik fuk that somehow miracled it in for 500 via satellites and could fold there and get the million yes do so, there is no one in the field in this position, nothing but pro poker players and CEOs.

What you say is interesting though, Im surprised they didnt run satellites for this tourney when its gonna be huge for TV (great time for some pokerstar or whatever shirts if thats still allowed that is) and would be 100x more interesting if there were some brokedik fuks on suicide watch when they get near the bubble

[k13]

There's no broke diks in this tourney who will be worrying about folding Aces.

[CanuckG]

There were small satellites for this event.

[hels]

If you're that concerned about finishing 9th place to get a million then you should have simply sold your seat to someone for $900,000 cash.

[MendozaLine]

nothing more fukin boring than watching other people play cards.

how do people get excited by this shit?

You think that is allowed? I think they'd probably stop that from happening.

Only when Norman Chad does the commentary and its NOT Live.

This is a very good point

[PickWinnerAllDay]

This is a very good point

I'm willing to bet that satellites list that ownership is nontransferrable somewhere in their little print.
