I never got a picture of Chan, he speed by coop, oneunder & I. Went straight to the washroom by the Bellagio Race book.
Doug was busy talking into his phone.

In ME, Gaelle Baumann just coolered the fk out of Selbst. 77 vs AA:
* Board runs out w/ Ace + two 7's. Bauman wins w/ Quads vs AcesFull!!Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
OMG.
Great, so my Polk match up is dead?
Comment -
Jay, I'm seeing Polk w/ 42k chips remaining. Still alive, I think.
But we may have viewed the Matchups incorrectly. Playing on Day 1A is a disadvantage, just b/c they could get knocked out earlier.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
I was making a Selbst/Polk resemblance joke.
Seems to be the in thing lately.
Did any of my guys start on day One?
Did any of yours?Comment -
I saw Polk playing day 1A, that's it.
Selbst does look very dude-like. I'll stop w/ any criticisms of her, tho. Pretty good poker-player.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
To be completely honest Chucky, I don't care for her
Don't like her attitude and she doesn't seem like someone I'd have beers with.
As far as her game is concerned, I don't really follow her.Comment -
I'm not saying she's likable. I don't think she is likable.
But I've watched enuf of her video. I have to say she's pretty good. SOMETIMES, she pushes her (busted) hand too hand. Opponents know this and sometimes pay off her big holdings.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Jay, I see only 3 current chip stacks. What I have:
Matchup1 = GusHanson (Jay) vs FedorHolz (Chucky)
M/up2 = DougPolk (42k) vs Brian Rast
M/up3 = PhilIvey vs DanielNegreanu
M/up4 = Hellmuth vs DColman (65k)
M/up5 = JChan vs Schemion (65k)Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
A few things to consider:
1) Remember how much luck is involved in one individual poker-tournament. I see that some of the former champs are already out (JYang) or are running on fumes.
2) Was talking to one of my poker-friends. He brought up a good point. One the trickier hands, if u run a bluff, it better be vs a top-pro. The lower-end players will simply call u down. In his mind, that downgrades value of younger pros that can get bluffy. Older more straight-fwd players should do well, b/c they can take their made hands to Value-town.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Jay, I saw video where Selbst was at EPT event, same table as Kassouff.
Have to say that Selbst looked like Mother Theresa compared to Kassouff.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Selbst's bust hand:
Do you know what the flop was Chucky? I can think of one flop in particular that she could have, maybe...... gotten away from.Comment -
Jay, link above. Flop was A75 (all clubs). Turn was 7.
Selbst tanked b4 Calling. She was figuring out what hands Baumann was calling on Button:
* Baumann could have smaller Boats. 55 or A7(suited). Selbst is saying that the only non-donkey Pre-Flop call is A7(h) and possibly 55. That's only 7 combinations. And Selbst seems to think Baumann WOULDN'T shove w/ 55, so that's only one combination.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
But If you're folding boats because you put your opponent on quads, you are gonna have a tough time playing poker.Comment -
Jay, reason Selbst said that was the massive over-raise on River. Selbst overbet the pot, and Baumann came over top.
Selbst was justifiably concerned. FWIW, similar hand in recent tournament. DColman rivers Quad2's vs Vogelsang AcesFull.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Jay:
JChan over 100k. Rast running pretty good, too, around 70k.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Jay, it's possible some of these guys didn't enter tournament. Chips I see, at last look:
Matchup1 = GusHanson (Jay) vs FedorHolz (Chucky)
M/up2 = DougPolk (42k) vs Brian Rast (127k)
M/up3 = PhilIvey vs DanielNegreanu (26k)
M/up4 = Hellmuth (50k) vs DColman (65k)
M/up5 = JChan (120k) vs Schemion (65k)Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Good Luck, Jay. I'll square up w/ u next week.
I'll throw an extra bone your way. If one of your 5guys makes FinalTable, I'll throw u an extra 100pts. If they win it, 500 extra pts.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Congrats on the DNEGS pick!Comment -
Ivey didn't enter.Comment -
Which is fukked up because I talked to him two weeks ago. Told him I was planning on fleecing this fish at a sports gambling site. Ivey assured he was playing.
After he settles his lawsuit he'd better set aside 100 betpoints for me.Comment -
Jay, I'm cool w/ pushing that one if u want. Don't want to take your $$ on non-action.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Nah, all good Chucky. Which site are you using to check current stacks?Comment -
I'm not 100% sure Holz made the trip. Seeing he's semi-retired.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
I mentioned previously that a few of those guys might not play:
* I really can't believe Holz might not have bothered to fly over.
Holz is a brilliant guy. Sure, he ran good, too. His successful tournament run was virtually unprecedented.
Guy was so good that he semi-retired at a very young age. Given his track record, I thought for sure he would have the trip for ME. Maybe not.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
ole schemion busto.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Jay, Polk on a heater. DColman doing well.
Is it possible Gus vs Fedor was a 2-way no-show? I saw a video where Gus said he would be playing a limited schedule.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
He was scared of you JayComment -
Sorry Chucky, misread......I saw a video on IG where Gus said he was getting ready for MEComment -
Yeah, Jay, Gus played. So, we have one Non-show for u, one Non-show for me. That nets out. 3 remaining matchups:
* I think you're in good shape.
If JohnnyChan is still alive, u won that M/Up.
Polk is on a heater. Colman in good shape for me.
Looks like you're in good shape to win 2 out of 3.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
