Well ... we got to the "nice" table that any poker player wants to reach when starting a tournament regardless of the buyin. Making the final table is the primary objective. But this particular final table is what perhaps for some is the pinnacle of a career that marks the Everest of poker in terms of tournaments, the final table of the main event at the WSOP.

In any case, it is worth noting that in the era of "modern" poker (XXI) similar events are held in Europe and Asia, but if you want to dream "correctly" of a final table to do it in a big way since dreaming is free, you must do it with the Main Event Final Table No-Limit Hold'em World Championship, which by the way, regardless of what happens, all 9 players are guaranteed $ 1,000,000.

The situation by country: 1 Argentine, 4 United States, 2 United Kingdom, 1 German and surprisingly a player for Turkey.

Common in this type of finals is always have one or two countries that are not frequent, in this case Turkey, since the last champion was an Argentine, a country with great traffic of players online and with important names on the green field mats.

Today will play until there are 4 survivors left ...

The WSOP Main Event is the biggest poker tournament in the world, there is no other.

it is an event to follow in the good summaries of ESPN, because let's face it, nobody except the players have the courage and the time to follow a game day that can be around 10 hours.

Already leaving that prologue that the "skip" should have, the important thing is to point out that this event has started today on day 1A:
497 players were registered who canceled $ 10,000 ⁽¹⁾

I have taken my 8 most important points to know from the main event or rather my summary from one of the sources that sponsor the Poker News event:

1.-Streaming available on Poker Go.
2.-This is a Deep Stack tournament with an initial stack of 60,000 and two hours per level.
3.- The tournament this year will be freezeout rules.
4.- Late registration: at level 7.
5.- About 7,500 registrations are expected which guarantees about 8 million for the winner
6.- On day 7 it will be played until the final table is reached, 9 players.
7.- On day 8 it will be played until there are only 4 players left.
8.- On the 9th we will have the winner of the most desired bracelet in the world of poker.

I read about two controversial situations to highlight of the year 2019(Main Event), I want to share them as curious anecdotes.

With just a couple of hours to start the event, two embarrassing moments occurred:
^Source:(3)

My opinion in reference to the second situation:
I think the guy was trying to remove two players who were involved in the hand with that move, (squeeze!?). One of the limp had a pair of 55 but did not know the information of the other player, so he decided to fold, the player had A3.

Nerves definitely played a bad game on him.

Anyway the levels kicked off ... we'll be keeping an eye on the flop on the turn and the river when possible in this event.
