i don´t even watch main event anymore for years, i don´t see the point
Well it is the most famous poker tournament in the entire History of poker in the World.
It has a HUGE number of famous players in it, along with all walks of life... rookies, typical casino types, satellite winners, bucket list types, etc. etc.
I find the play on the tables in Day1 especially (Day2 as well but maybe to a lesser degree) really amazing... it's amazing to actually see so many 'not very good' players, who are playing in a $10k buyin. (I seriously don't think they'd cut it at 10nl or a $5 abi online).... and this just makes it that much more interesting.
Railing people you know who are playing it... or watching/following a few you've heard about... maybe some you've played against online many years ago (or still to this day)... or maybe just checking out players like Phil Helmuth, Shaun Deeb, etc. Watching them compete for the prestige of winning the most famous poker tournament in the world! I believe there's lots of excitement in the air.
Also, some of the commentary is EXCELLENT! Some of it is GOLD! I wish I could time stamp some of it so that I could listen to it again at a later date (ie. Shaun Deeb's stuff... and Ali & Nick are an awesome duo with some very funny stuff especially late into the night when they get 'tired'? (maybe a bit under the influence?). Some great laughs for sure!
VAMOS!!!!!!
