Phil Hellmuth
“Caught myself whining about bad luck, then remembered to #MANUP! This is @WSOP PH: NOT the time to whine, BUT the time to be a CHAMPION!”
Daniel Negreanu
“Old man just agreed to check down a hand. At the end of the hand I told him that’s illegal and next time will get a penalty. He didn’t know.. He apologized and now he knows. No penalty issued. He has a warning and know he knows the rule. No penalty necessary.”
Matt Glantz
“Been playing this $10k for about 40 mins so far & can already see it’s the Stud Eight from Outer Space event I was hoping for. #aliens”
Jimmy Fricke
“Anyone interested in poker history should follow @weirdchess1 as he’s crushing a tourney while he has food poisoning.. Could be the first bracelet winner whose victory photo is taken by the coroner. (jk I hope, gl Scotty!)”
Eric Froehlich
“For reference, we are playing 5 handed while everyone else plays 8 w all late regs.. Have lost every single hand. And playing at the only 5 max table the entire level for some reason. So it goes very fast.. We were told they were filling one seat at a time per table. An hr later every table after us has filled to 8. We are still 5 handed #unfair”
Jason Mercier
“Selling action for ONE DROP $1,000,000 buyin which is now 16 days away. Minimum 1% for $10,500. email me: jmercbookings@gmail.com”
Kevin Iacofano
“Busted PLO in record summer record time. I studied my hands last night longer than I played today.. I don’t have a criminal bone in my body, but every night leaving the Rio, I want to grab two Zoops & sprint to my car to see how far I get.”
Todd Brunson
“Glad I rushed down here to make late region by 30 seconds… I’m not gonna survive 2 rounds. 2347 and lost. One more hand!!!! I got knocked out by some dim witted blonde bimbo. Won’t say who but…. Ah what the hell @REALJenHarman.”
Matt Salsberg
“The quickest way to get me to leave your house after a dinner party is to pull out a guitar and just start playing it unsolicited.”
Jeff Gross
“Wow pretty cool was watching the #USA game with @MagicAntonio and @tsarrast and used my soccer one time on that corner kick and it worked!”
Shannon Shorr
“Fell in love with #Salvador, #Brazil. Hope to go back one day. Just arrived in Rio de Janeiro but battling some food poisoning #WorldCup2014”
Jennifer Harman
“Grinding cash games instead of tournaments. Definitely less hours and more fun for me. Gotta do what you like. #lifetooshort”
Vanessa Selbst
“Discussion of OITNB precipitates 5 min of watching how-to video on lesbian sex w/ tablemates.All agreed discussion was educational. #wsop31”
