whats the makeup of farbers rail?

Assumed his close friends wouldn't be poker pros given he's an amateur and nightclub owner etc. But Deeb etc there railing etc. too?

To be brutally honest, he has very little chance of winning unless he brutally coolers Ryan a few times, or the blinds get big enough that he just wins a few preflop coups.

Agree great guy, really fun to watch, and would be great for poker if he won. Very sick bluff with the 6 high too, not the play, but how cool and calm he was during the 6 minute tank.

He is a host not a nightclub owner, small diff of a few million $'s

Ah bad information sorry. Maybe he will buy one now then.

Pretty sure he's just going to go ballist on watches/cars

The rest, he'll squander.

He has to give $1m to that delightful man Dan Bilzerian first. Then pay tax. He will barely have enough left to keep himself in hookers and blow.

Farber arguably made the worst first impression on me since Telscher. Borderline repulsive character, crying about running bad in WSOPE, berating opponents and genuinely meaning it, his sponsors didn't appear massively impressed with his behaviour and assume just tolerate him because they have to. Dempsey assured me he wasn't like this before making the FT but all these reports of him being a "top bloke" couldn't be further off the mark imo

Good play from Riess to turn the momentum straight back. Yeah the AA8 one was gift wrapped for him - but he still had to have the heart and composure to take it.

I just meant after this hand it was gg. I was probably watching same stream as you.

Same old story that is alienating to anyone who isn't currently a grinder/poker geek. Nothing to say. Nothing to see. Move along...

Agree on the WSOP C to be fair, but who cares about that?

"arrogant big time guy who can be a real dick but who knows how to be nice" is how a mutual friend described him to me.

Looking at the stream last night, compared to July, I'd imagine he will spend more on steroids than coke  

Think Ben Lamb may have had a piece too, he posted a pic of a brand new Ferrari on Twitter with 'You shouldn't have Jay'.

The reason why the stnd of play wasn't very high at this final table was because most of the players were not very good, Benefield clearly the best player (and came to play as well hence the K9 and K2 3bet AI's which I dont think anyone else at the table would have made) I actually think JC played fine, the french guy was pretty meh farbor a fairly bad player, reiss is a decent player but nothing more than that Mcluaghlin again decent nothing more that lehavot seemed to be pretty good actually but no-one stood out as a world beater.

There is nothing wrong with this at all, and the spectacle of them playing for so much money (nott like HSP where people who have been playing high stakes for years are playing 400/800 with 40% of their action) this is guys playing way outside their comfort level and that is what makes me enjoy watching it - Riess' face OTT during that Farber 65o bluff was fkn priceless.

Last year the stnd on the FT was outstanding, because there was some v, v good players left 5handed, that isn't going to be the case in a poker tournament everytime, as anyone who has ever entered one should know, so the  baffelment from everyone about how bad everyone played is pretty silly really.

Give Riess a lot of credit though, he battled through a very intense situation admirably and got the job done. He did get a very good run on the cards though but Farber would have needed more than that to beat him imo.

Also- the JJ comments, obviously taking it down pre-flop with JJ is a great result, every pre-flop win worth about $60k in equity.

Maybe he helped coach him and this was payment?  I read before the final that he was friends with Ben Lamb and Vanessa Selbst.

My major complaint was that a guy had 15 hours to prepare for the biggest HU match of his entire career and he entered it playing at the level of a 1 dollar hu sng loser. Its just sad to see this when so many people would give their right arm and leg to be able to be in this position. This is the biggest day of his life and he just doesnt seem to care about it.

Reiss was technically bad but it was evident he spent sufficient time trying to build a good counter adjustment game plan, which pre flop worked pretty well. The calls, folds, raises etc post flop I understand take years to master or to get better at as a full ring live mtt player will just not get as many close spots because of the ranges and stacksiyes they play with and against, so that criticism is pretty harsh I agree.

Dont you think though that we can berate, wow, shout, scream etc in this thread, its our version of the world cup final and I want to be involved, I want to be emotional about it, I want to sweat it hard and I want to be a vocal know it all fan, just like I would be in the world cup with England or the FA CUP 4th round with Newcastle, I dont see why that is so bad? If it was the dtd deepstack thread and I was like OMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMGOMGOMGOMGOGM 5x then I think this would be really bad, and wouldnt intend on doing so in the future, but this is the big one! The WSOP MAIN EVENT!!

To be fair that description could describe a huge proportion of the American male population of his age group.

He was trying to sell 40% before the event
