Poker News and Live Streams - Ivey wins 11th Bracelet

How bad is the wsop bracelet inflation? WSOP.com had an online “high roller” bracelet event cancelled because it didn’t have the minimum amount of players needed for it to run.

eta - looks like it only had 4 registered players

I did a quick Google search to find out more about this and came across this bizarre site. I knew it had to be a bullshit site just from the URL, but wow, is it obvious this was AI-generated:

Literally just makes up quote.

One of the “top posts” on the site is an AI-generated article about the Luxor closing, which didn’t happen. It has an AI-generated pic of the “Luxor” which isn’t remotely close to what the Luxor looks like.

There are dozens of AI generated YouTubes about Caitlin Clark leaving the WNBA for Europe. They are surprising good and fooled me until I couldn’t find any actual news articles on it…

don’t a lot of wnba players play in Europe in the WNBA offseason?

The AI generated voices are the giveaway.

Yep, but considering how much sponsorship money she makes and that she didn’t get much time off between March Madness and the start of the WNBA season, she decided to relax instead of chasing the international bag.

They do but the videos said she left the WNBA and signed an exclusive contract in Europe and some big contract with Adidas. She’s been treated so poorly by the establishment over here it rang true.

That would be so incredible if she just left the WNBA and played on massive contracts touring Europe.

The PGA Tour has always been racist as fuck, but even they knew not to rock the boat too much with their cash cow Tiger who was increasing their paychecks by a lot.

Yeah it is looking like there are a lot of people in the WNBA that are not as good as the PGA people about not fucking with their meal ticket. We’ll see if it changes any next year, but I doubt it. Will be interesting to see if the Fever do anything this offseason to get some more talent to work with CC.

I thought Clark already made a public show about wanting to spend the off-season golfing?

She made one offhand remark about playing golf and it has been run with quite a bit.

Didn’t she also just play in a Pro-Am? I’m sure she was joking about joining the Women’s Tour, but I doubt she was joking about wanting to spend the off-season playing golf.

Also, why would she bust her ass playing hoops in Europe during in the off-season? That would be like Aaron Judge deciding to play winter ball in Mexico.

If the Yankees were paying Judge $77k and the Mexico City club offered him $2 million, he might take it…

this is a fun stream imo. 100k PLO high roller from PokerGo but this is day 1 still during re-entry (single re entry available). Usually PLO tournament streams are pretty boring cause it’s FT’s and basically you are super incentivized to fold if you’re a middle stack.

how the fuck did ryan feldman get so rich? he was a breakevenish 5-10 player. I heard him say how the Armenian Mike 10k cheating thingy was a huge deal for him and that was only like two years ago?

Just casually playing a 500k buy in?
