Thank you PokerGo for these old main event posts. No spoilers from me. Am going to enjoy watching this final table again 👍

[@ChonkySlotDonkey]

Ahhh Nostalgia.... In 2011 it was just a dream to play in the WSOP... Having played it for over 10 years now, I love watching these old WSOPs because it reminds you not to feel jaded and the magnitude of these events.. Shuffle up and deal here's to 2024 WSOP!!! 🍻

[@cz75shadow2]

Wery strange coverage only highlights chips stack s Just up and down and all in 😊but still love the the ME whit Norm and Chad ✌🏻👍🏻💯😊

Gianneti using pocket jacks to get to the final table and then getting crippled by them is so poetic.

That 4 bet bluff with 4 high by lamb was pure sicko stuff

That was not a boring final table for sure.

Because he decided to 4bet shove KJo - why are you saying he is the best player? I think he played pretty bad all in all

Such a dumb shove by Ben Lamb 3 handed. As the best player of the 3, he should have played small ball.

It was more of a bad call by the other dude imo

[@diggerblair7460]

I watched this whole tournament but it was really killing me to watch the way they were playing with 12 players left they just lit their stacks on fire with really bad hands I understand mixing it up and playing aggressive but make the final 9 first then if you want to blast off it is what it is but pay jumps are huge the difference between 8th and even 2nd or 3rd is craz

[@diggerblair7460]

But 4 million is still nice

[@Blackbeard0531]

Probably the best heads up for the main event title I ever saw. Both deserved it so much.

[@Dustin_Platt]

Ben Lamb: _Yeah i didn’t drink this whole WSOP_ *Camera pans to $5,500 bottle of Macallan at his table at the bar probably after punting with KJ offsuit 3 handed*

[@phillipsanders7373]

Thank you poker go!.. Any chance if 2012?!?! 😊

[@repent.sinner]

Your the goat for this, 2011 is the one they (you) dont like to show because Hienz rode off into the sunset and didnt want to promote something thats distroyed people lives.

[@sixredfish6115]

Yeah this and the 2015 ME final table are probably the most forgotten about. McKeehan dominated the 2015 ME, and as you said Heinz isnt known as well as he left on an evil game.

[@repent.sinner]

[@keithmarsella8252]

I didn't know something happened, was it with heinze after he won? Thanks 👍

[@repent.sinner]

@@keithmarsella8252 he just rode off into the sunset he really doesn't play poker after he won it here. I seen something about him not wanting to spend his life playing poker. 2011,12,13 are easily my favorite winners Heinz, Merson, and Reise.

[@Shanethe420lb_Rat]

[@mrgarfer]

That raise all in by Staszko on the turned ace is dynamite

[@MrRigamortis86]

Ty i needed closure on this😅

[@silverkitty2503]

I will never have closure ..not sure i even want it ..ha aren't poker players just .. amazing. I love the spirit of the whole thing its like mozart

[@andylymbo]

Guy has Ben Lamb in his blinds and 15bb, I love the QJo shove there. Hurts for Ben but I think even he knows it's correct and just is pain.

[@thethrillofpattaya8404]

Staszko really missed played that A full of 9s hand with that check raise on the turn. With Pius's aggressive play, he might have been able to end it there-or at least pick up a few more million for sure. Oh...as far as Staszko being 35...those Eastern Europeans live HARD!

[@darylwabz]

Yea should’ve checked it on the river aswell Heinz would’ve push all in. He did really mess up on that play it would have ended

[@basilfawlty8244]

Back when WSOP coverage was still fun.

[@joshuazerbe5777]

I refuse to believe Staszko was only 35 back in 2011. Dude looks at least 10 years older. I call that bluff.

[@repent.sinner]

I said the same thing😂 he's got to be 42.5 at least but it's the way he carry himself and won't let go of that haircut when he clearly thining.

[@letsgoyanetsko205]

First year we didn’t see 1,732,945 full tilt patches plastered all over every opponent. Wonder what happened? 🤔😝

[@shakesfirst2443]

Black Friday when Full Tilt collapsed and they found out they were using illegal payout services worldwide. It was when online poker was made illegal in the USA, so the ads were banned. It's also when the bans happened in Australia, and it's screwed poke here for years, and sent the problem gamblers to black market sites that didn't always payout. But don't get me started on the constant failures of forced prohibitions. I work with people with addiction issues and...Like I said, don't get me started.

I was thinking the same thing😂 dude got to be 42 1/2 minimum 😂

[@leeumhopkins]

wow, staszko did not know how to play heads up with the chip lead. i honestly thought that heinz had the lead for the longest time until that all in that swapped stacks. did not apply any pressure and let heinz just bully him around despite having a shorter stack.

[@donnieholloway3253]

I think Darvin Moon gets mentioned more than Joe Cada and he won the event

[@CrazeeAdam]

Kind of? Although more because he unfortunately passed away. Joe was clearly the better player overall and in recent poker Joe has proven himself pretty well skill wise and in tournaments.
