Foxen always seems to run on the lucky side

[WSOP - World Series of Poker @WSOP]

Foxen vs Negreanu for a big one in the $25K PLO

Who is running better than @WAFoxen right now?

@RealKidPoker @GGPoker

[Ben @bentrb4]

This was always why I hatred rebuy tournaments as those with money to burn just tried to build huge stacks.

[Mike Matusow(code:Mouth) @themouthmatusow]

This hand is what 3 entry’s have done to poker! The average plo player can’t play this event unless they have 75k to burn!

It was just season 4, which was fine and enjoyable but no reason to not have it just be season 4. Should’ve combined the Boba, Mando, and Ahsoka storylines for the movie.

[Variety @Variety]

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu has earned $12M in previews, coming in $2.1M behind “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”

People don’t rewatch Nolan movies?

[Dissident West @dissidentwest]

Christopher Nolan has mastered the art of making his films appear to be deep at first glance, but on the second watch revealing just how superficial and pretentious they really are.

Has anyone actually been able to enjoy a movie of his on the second viewing?

I remember when people went on shows like The Bachelorette to find love not to jump start a career.

[Bye Wig Hello Drama @HousewivesHub]

According to TMZ, five contestants from Taylor Frankie Paul’s cancelled season of The Bachelorette are considering legal action against ABC and Warner Bros. Discovery. They reportedly feel they put their lives and jobs on hold for the show, only for it to be scrapped before airing.

The men also allegedly believe the production created an unsafe work environment by allowing Taylor to interact with them in intimate settings despite her past alleged violence. The season was cancelled shortly after TMZ released the 2023 video, leading to major financial losses for the network and disrupting plans for the next season of The Bachelor. #SLOMW

Are they going to train them how to punch knocked out people repeatedly in the face until the ref steps in?

[Variety @Variety]

UFC fighters will train FBI agents at a "historic seminar" so they can "be even better prepared to protect the American people," says FBI director Kash Patel .

“Dana White has changed the game in the mixed martial arts industry and we’re extremely honored to be partnered with him, the professionals and the UFC. We are grateful for their shared love of our nation, so that we can better defend her,” Patel adds.

UFC CEO Dana White says: “I have tremendous respect for the FBI and the work they do every day to protect this country. Our UFC fighters are some of the baddest men and women on the planet and they are heading to Quantico to train the best FBI agents in mixed martial arts. It’s an incredible opportunity for our athletes to experience, and we’re proud to support the FBI in strengthening their defense techniques.”

Athletes attending include current interim UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethe, the first UFC BMF champion Jorge Masvidal, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman, former UFC strawweight title challenger Claudia Gadelha, former UFC lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler, top UFC flyweight contender Manel Kape and mixed martial arts legend Renzo Gracie.

If you haven’t experienced baseball in Japan you’re missing out

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

Japanese Fans are so locked in for WBC games they have choreographed dances for each player

[Ben @bentrb4]

I remember when the leadoff hitter used to mean something in baseball

[SleeperPadres @SleeperPadres]

I’m wrapping up my time in Arizona today, here’s a few notes:

- Bogaerts may be given a long shot at being the leadoff hitter.

- Jason Adam and Joe Musgrove are both progressing toward their first spring games.

- Still a battle for the final roster spot.

- Sale of #Padres Franchise down to five groups.

@DisneyPlusHelp I hadn’t subscribed to an add supported plan, those came in after I had signed up so now I’m getting ads without having signed up for ads

[Ben @bentrb4]

Why does @DisneyPlus have ads now? How am I paying to watch a movie with commercials? I can get TV with commercials since they’re designed around the breaks but interrupting movies for something I pay for is ridiculous

[Ben @bentrb4]

@DisneyPlusHelp So did you drop my plan pricing?

[Ben @bentrb4]

The moment they make the ME rebuy they’re going to drop 40% of the entries the next year @WSOP. I’ve never enjoyed rebuy tournaments and it’s sad that they’ve switched from immediate rebuy to re-enter a day later

[Greg Himmelbrand @GregHPoker]

Once again @WSOP makes the Monster/Milly worse. After going from 2 to 3 to 4 flights, Now allowing D2 bust outs to reenter later D1s. So players can now fire 8 shells (Monster was ONE a few years back) AND reenter if they bust TWENTY (20) hours into the tournament. MAKE IT STOP

[Ben @bentrb4]

Still crazy that @topps didn’t include @JYPETWICE MiSaMo under their first pitch series for the Cubs/Dodgers game last season

@LEOGANG1982 @MickeyWaters85 @nut_history They all have over 500 HR.

[Ben @bentrb4]

@Mike_Grant603 @Nvdago @SlangsOnSports .267 but his over 400 HR was over 500 in just one more season
