Is there an official WSOP Event 47 update thread?

If not, let's start with this:

-

Chip Counts Updated
Bryan "Micon" Micon leads the field with 9,800, followed by James Van Alstyne with 7,500 and Greg Pappas with 7,300.

DO IT MICON

Classic Stevesbets tilting

Just tilted off what appeared to be his entire FTP roll playing 200/400 Omaha Hi/Lo (he kept reloading for 2K, but did a final reload of like $934, and once that was gone, didn't reload), complaining the whole time how unlucky he was getting - apparently Steve confuses his horrible play with him getting unlucky.

Nice to see that some things never change.

He's probably rebuilding his roll by getting jerked off on again.

Consider this possibility about 9/11

Assume the following:

Terrorists wish to attack the US
A prevented terrorist attack results in a terrorist group going back to the drawing board and planning a larger attack
An attack with weapons of mass destruction would eventually be within the realm of reason by a terrorist group
Such an attack may have globally catastrophic implications

Also assume:

A terrorist attack on US soil would garner support for a global "war on terror"
A successful "war on terror" may prevent a future terrorist attack using weapons of mass destruction


Plausible Conclusion?:
The US government had some knowledge about an attack but purposely did little to nothing to thwart it. By allowing the attack to occur, it paved the way for the war on terror, with the theory that the war on terror could wipe out terrorism worldwide before an attack with weapons of mass destruction could be carried out.

Random ideas for new poker games

Two Deck Holdem - Texas Holdem played with two full decks

Flippament MTT - Players are seated 10 to a table. Single card dealt to each player at each table. Player with high card moves on, the rest are insta-eliminated (suit rank breaks ties obv). Tournament then plays out as a normal MTT, but since 90% of the field is eliminated in the flip, it is already in the money.
