    Talk about silly, give them all 3 million chips starting stacks, but start it at 3000/6000 + 1000 ante.

    Could they not have just given them 500 BB at 25/50 lol... no that just wouldn't do.

    Something inside me wants Hellmuth to win it! and im not sure why...

    With the standard being so 'polorazied'(?), World class, or total amateur, I'd expect the table draw/s to have a big say in who wins!!

    Galfond @ 22/1 ftw!

    Most of you probably know this, but you always get 3x your buy-in in chips at all WSOP tournaments, so $1m=3m chips.

    Would've been much funnier if they started at 25/25 blinds like they do for $1500 tournaments.

    Apparently Russian semi-pro Mikhail Smirnoff folded quad 8s face-up to a river shove from businessman John Morgan in the big drop earlier today. It could be either the worst or the best fold in the history of poker. Hopefully when it's all over Morgan will reveal what he held and we'll know which.

    I've copied and pasted this from another forum;

    According to Smirnov, the action started with Tom Dwan opening to 32,000. Smirnov called from the small blind with the 88, and businessman John Morgan called from the big blind.

    The flop fell Js8c7s. Smirnov bet 50,000, Morgan called quickly, and Dwan folded.

    The 8s hit the turn. Smirnov bet 200,000. Morgan called instantly.

    Smirnov said Morgan looked very excited on the turn.

    The Ks landed on the river, and Smirnov bet 700,000, which was more than the pot of 600,000. Morgan thought about it briefly and then shoved for about 3.4 million total, which was about the size of Smirnov’s stack. Smirnov folded the quads face up.

    “For me, it was a very easy fold,” Smirnov said. “If he had two kings before the flop he would have re-raised Dwan, because he’s been active and raising a lot. So, two kings was impossible. Two jacks, in theory, was possible.”

    Smirnov said that he thought jacks full of eights wouldn’t have been such a confident shove on the river. “He was like all-in, no problem. Before he had been playing very carefully and tight.”

    According to his logic, Morgan would have the 10s9s.

    The size of the buy-in was not a factor in the decision, Smirnov said. He added that Morgan seemed visibly upset after the hand, giving more validity to the fold.

    If this is true then this is the worst fold in poker history, regardless of what john morgan had!
