- Second woman in history (and first in 30 years) to make the Main Event final table. - Single largest payout ever won by a woman in the WSOP Main Event. - #1 Spanish female in career WSOP earnings. - Perhaps the worst take of the summer, and that’s saying something ⤵️.
Unpopular opinion disguised as fact: As great a run as it was, Leo Margets did not make any @WSOP history. Media folks really WANT to announce something historical and will “massage” the storyline to meet their desires. Thus we wind up with, “…in the modern era.” It’s bullshit.

Martin Kahbrel is playing a few tables over from mine in the Closer. I just heard him belt “Not like that” for perhaps the fifth time in the last hour, and the best way I can describe how it feels to hear this is….oddly refreshing.

Main Event. $50K PPC. Same year. If Mike Mizrachi gets this done, forget historic. That’s mythic…. Would be the greatest tournament feat of all time and something we may never see again. #WSOPMainEvent . 📸: @pokerorg

Gotta give a shoutout to my guy @Donnie_Peters for a helluva summer. Not only did he make a deep run in the Main (163rd), he got a ton of reps in the commentary booth for @PokerGo and has improved 10x since he started. Guy puts in work and it shows. Keep grinding bro. 😤

Hats off to the WSOP for taking staff / player safety seriously. In a perfect world, these measures would have been implemented from the start, but this is a step in the right direction.

The @WSOP is controlling entry to the Main Event / TV room today with added security, metal detectors and a bag check. Overheard a couple guys lashing out at security guards over the inconvenience on the way in. I’m one voice, but I think this was a smart and important decision.

Drew a starting table with my friend and former @PokerStars colleague @barrygreenstein in the @WSOP Hall of Fame Bounty tournament. When I got to the table (start of level 3), I noticed Barry already had 3x starting stack. When I asked him about it, he said “Yeah - they start

WSOP first:. A new dealer sat down at our table and changed decks, as they do. When he spread the new deck on the table, there was a random driver’s license in the middle. 😂. Dealer says, “What the…,” and held it in the air, scanning our faces. It belonged to the 5 seat. 💀.
