Okay cool, thanks, I guess that makes sense if the video is 30 minutes delayed.
I think that time delay is the best it gets if you want to watch it instead of read.Quote:

I'm glad I got to watch that 30-minute long hand to see the most standard spot ever unfold and then watch the dealer chop the chips.
Now for a commercial break!
wat, every hand is 30 mins.
on the positive side, I should have an edge in the shot-clock era of poker, so bravo, guys.
I wonder if there exists a spot where Blumenfield folds an A blocker preflop.
Facing an open from the shortest stack who'd been playing snug, and he's in the SB w A3o and resteals for an amount where he's either calling a shove or folding for 12bbs to win 40bbs+. Seems pretty undesirable, but I'm a tourney fish.
nothing to stop people taking 10 years per decision as the blinds creep up? :o
They're not supposed to show the cards when they fold! Now everyone knows Max doesn't defend with 52dd! The conspiracy is on!!!!
EDIT: Apparently they've always been showing the BB mucks. Cowboys/Eagles only recently ended, so I'm new to watching the preflop action that doesn't involve Max.
Wooooo ISF sighting!
Swooooooon
Who's that Aaron guy? Is he iopq or something?
Ballllller check by Max and he binks the nut turn card!!
Preeeeeetty sure McKeehan can't get away here.
Ugh, that jackoff.
Can't stay up to keep watching, but I tuned in for a second. This is super cool. Take it down Max!
He and Danny's older brother iirc. Don't remember if he ever posted here?Quote:

baudib, where you play at? Is McKeehan a Sugarhouse reg?
McKeehen's home casino is Parx, I play at Borgata. I met him through a friend last year in Vegas very briefly.
Who is this broadcaster?
When McKeehan opens UTG w KTs and folds when he gets 3b by a 30bb stack in MP, "I can't believe he folded such a playable hand!!"
When someone flats the button with KJs and gets squeezed by an aggressive SB player with 50bb effective stack, "He can't call here."
One is a snap fold and the other is a pretty standard flat, and he got them backwards.
im watching it without sound. Isn't it Hellmuth/Esfandiari/Negreanu/Kara Scott?
Yeah, I think it's Esfishdari providing the regular color analysis.
Link to english coverage?
It's over for the day, starts up again in 18 hours. Only english video coverage I could find was www.espnplayer.com and I had to pay $3 or something to watch it.
Excited to watch more tomorrow.
What's the update? I can't find anything anywhere. Max still in?
Yeah max still in 4/6. Something like 90, 30, 30, 15 (max), 10, 10
God I love Kara Scott. She has such fucking bitchface and great hair.
oh man, sick

McKeehen has a deadly combo of skill and rungood that's going to make him tough to beat
McKeehen's rungood is pretty insane. Been lasting since at least final 13 when he knocked out stealthmonk with set-over-set 50bbs deep.
Last night, McKeehen opens button into a shortstack who wakes up with AJo and shoves into him ... only problem is that McKeehan has AKs. McKeehan ends the night with a loose open UTG w J6s, gets shoved into by BB big stack with AJo and catches up to knock him out. Getting dealt KTs OTB and turning second nut flush. Etcetcetc.
He has really opened it up the last few orbits now that his stack can provide serious ICM pressure on every single player at the table, esp 3!ing 84o OTB to get Max off K9o and seemingly playing every suited hand with a face card from all positions, so yeah, deadly combo of someone having a rungood and knowing how to use it.
Interesting to see what adjustments players make now that they can go back and see how bad McKeehan was steamrolling toward the end of last night.
Yeah it's ridic
I mean, McKeehen's rungood is exactly consistent with the rungood of people who win the WSOP ME. He's a great player who came into the FT with a huge stack and played it well.
There were also spots where people played poorly that he benefited from, for example, Negreanu should shove A4o pre all day and shut him out from his equity on a bingo flop with J3dd. The extreme short stacks being around has the better players at the table forced to tighten up and play for 2nd, so he's basically in a perfect spot.
this starts at 1.30am uk time, ffffff
Let's get sweaty.
BOOM
Oh yeah time delay.
Sorry.
Goddamn
I won't do that again, it was a genuine mistake.
Here, you might as well have the juice...

THERE IT IS
BAM. I GAVE MAX MY RUN GOOD, GUYS. HE USED IT JUST THERE.
Woooo!
Well done to boog for not reading my post somehow.
so sick. gogogo!
Max's dress sense is impeccable.
Brutal for Cannuli but GOGOGOGOGOG MAx.
Yeah, that TT vs AA hand was crazy.
Go, Max!
Well, it was his Mom's bush.Quote:

When does it end today? When it hits 3 handed?
When it hits HUQuote:

HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE MAX!
EDIT: Nvm, my dyslexia kicked in. Thought next prize was $3.938M, and I was wondering how this payjump could be $1.3M and the one after that could only be 500k lol.
Yeah, but Meany McFacialpubes is hording all the monies.Quote:

edit - well shit, just saw the update. yeah good fucking run, max. super impressive and hope you enjoyed the journey! i'm still going to continue bragging that i've drank and played poker with you a few times to my home game buddies.
I went to a Wu-Tang concert with Max. (It was a long time ago and I got hammered, but pretty sure it was both Steinbergs, but could possibly have only been Danny, but obviously that's just as big of a brag.)
Pretty sure I win.

Now I want the lunatic to get HU so I can palm that bet off a shorter odds.
wp sir, congrats on the run
gg Max
gg, Max. $2.6 million isn't bad at all!
Nice job, Max. Well played. FTR loves you.
All of my irl friends and many poker players at the local B&M think I'm vg online friends with Max.Quote:

Still though, a great time to name drop! Thanks Max!
All my irl friends think Max, Danny and I are triplets
gg Max.
And so handsome.
4th out of 6,420 in the biggest poker tournament in the world is fucking incredible, gj

Oh yeah. There was very little to criticize about Max's play. If anything, he was playing pretty tight, and made some folds that were not perfect play, given perfect information. From his POV, though, I'm sure they were marginal at best against Villain's range.
I loved Max's interview with Kara Scott on the final day of the final table.
The following is a paraphrased representation of said interview:
Kara: What's it like being Max Steinberg?
Max: It's pretty fun. I partied last night. What? I mean, right?
Kera: How will the win impact you as a person?
Max: I tried partying pretty hard for the past 24 hours, and it seems to have gone well for me.
Kera: Do you have any advice for the players still in the game
Max: [Speaks eloquently about each players situation and goals and what they should do to accomplish them.]
Kera: What does your future hold?
Max: OMG, I'm so wasted right now.
I think the fold of AJo on the button vs. Blum's BB 3-bet was meh given Blum was 3-betting all his blockers. But it seemed like he was pretty card dead.
Yeah. That fold, in particular, was in my mind when I posted the above.Quote:

I have met McKeehen and I think he's a decent kid, just slightly socially awkward. Has an ego but who wouldn't when you're that smart and that great a player. I honestly didn't bet on Max because McKeehen had such a huge lead and knows how to close the deal, it was very clear that he wasn't going to spew off massive chips in marginal spots, I think he played the final 2 tables perfectly. Running purer than pure doesn't hurt either.
Seriously though, those suits.
Max was easily the most pleasing to the eye. I could go gay for Max.
Nah.
