Foxwoods World Poker Finals action thread
-Hung out mostly in the ballroom today. In there they had the $500+65 stud tourney, nonstop act 1/2s, an Act 3 in the evening, and various single-table satellites into WPT events. I tried a couple satellites into $500 events and didn't hit, but did well in the Act 1s I played, picking up a couple Act 2 tickets. The act 1 sats now start you with 2000 chips! And the structure is still kinda fast but not like it used to be.. it's not too bad. I think anybody here with solid SNG experience can do real well in these. The players of course can be pretty bad and now it is not a total crap shoot structure.
-James Woods sighting in the ballroom! He was playing some kind of satellite. He blends right in, I almost missed him. A dealer told me he's been playing sats there for three days now. Pretty cool.
-So I was sweating the Act 3 as it got down to the bubble. 12 left with 11 getting the $10k seat. There's a heads up pot that is checked to the river. Board is AATTx. One guy bets out, the other guy deliberates and asks 'you got the ace'? The floor immediately reprimands him and says there's 'no talking'. Talker is quite confused and says 'I can't ask a guy a question? Floor is just like 'nope'. WTF was going on here? Worst rule ever. I've never heard of that.
