The title is a bit sensational, but this is a decent read.

I have already got the book, it is the first poker book I have been interested in for some time, and I normally give hardbacks a miss. 

I have only just started it, but it seems well written, and I will put up a review in the book thread when I have finished.

More poker talk..  It seems a bit poor that this online WSOP has no PLO8 or many other mixed games on GGpoker.  I think the only choice is Omaha or Hold Em (I was only loooking for PLO8, but can't remember seeing anything else).  Obv having 22 start days with rebuys for the main event is a serious issue too.  Presumably people will still be counting these in their bracelet counts in years to come?  I'd hate to see the real WSOP main event have multiple re-entires on day 1A, B, C and D in future.  I curremtly have the hope to play it again some day, but don't want to be going back where all the new whizzkids can have 4 cracks at it.

I know Negreanu wanted it as a f/o, but obviously he doesn't get the final say, and as this is a unique situation and not something that is planned for every year. Think they wanted to make it the biggest GTD tourney ever, too.

Upside of the software not being able to facilitate anything bar the big 2 games, is that I'd think the live WSOP (if they get there) will have a much more mixed games based schedule.

Think Terrence Chan was saying how good it was, too.

Came across this interview with Brandon Adams talking about the book.

If you were watching the last live stream of the WPT World Online Championship festival last night you will have seen Charlie Godwin finish 3rd for $620,000

Quite the result. Well in a festival where we have had over a dozen huge satellite stories the WPTWOC saved the best til last. Charlie, a regular on the UK circuit who started off working in a casino a number of years ago and caught the poker bug, had the following journey

$109 satellite
$1,050 Phase
$10,200 satellite
$102,000 seat
$620,000 prize

It was an incredible final table with the High Roller Michael Addamo, who won for over $1.2m after a heads up deal with Isaac Haxton, producing some incredible plays..commented on by Leonard, Dempsey, Dunst and Gross.

you can watch it back hand by hand at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmCwmrS-l8&t=576s and admire Charlie's patience as she navigates such a tough line up

Watched it all last night, and was superb viewing.

Flushy and Pads are a great double act on comms.

Have watched all of this bar the last hour.  The play and commentary are really good and well worth a watch.  Was cheering on Charlie though she missed a couple of spots, but must have been hard with an absolute beast on her right.

I think we have been really spoilt this last few weeks.  I had the Stars main event final table on twitch earlier in the week and that was really good too.

The $500 PLO8 final table was on the Stars YouTube channel too.   I managed to bottle a hand which would have looked brilliant if I pulled the trigger.  I had a what the fk are you doing moment in the middle of the hand.  It is much easier with cards up.

He played really well; I was rooting for him towards the end.
