Want a second screen while you watch tonight's WSOP Main Event? Poker pro Faraz Jaka is running a live watch party on YouTube alongside fellow pro Scott Baumstein, taking strategy questions and reacting to hands as they happen. He won't be showing the ESPN broadcast itself on stream, since that would get his channel hit for rebroadcasting, so think of it as live commentary running alongside the actual coverage rather than a replacement for it, tune into ESPN for the actual feed, and Jaka's stream for the play-by-play reactions and community energy.
Here's what's on the line: Day 2 of the WSOP Main Event final table wrapped up with the field cut down to just two players. Lucas Jumalon has controlled the table since the very first day, and he's never once given up the chip lead through three straight days of play. He now sits on 328M in chips, good for 109 big blinds, well ahead of Lauri Saaskilahti's 225M (75 BB), as WSOP confirmed. Saaskilahti has fought his way here as Finland's first-ever WSOP Main Event finalist, and a win tonight would make history for his country.
It all comes down to heads-up play tonight for the $10 million top prize and the title of World Champion. Coverage starts at 10:15 PM ET on ESPN. Jumalon has looked calm through the whole run so far, and he's made it clear he's not letting up: "job's not finished," as he put it after Day 1. Whether that composure holds up in heads-up play against Saaskilahti's momentum is the whole story tonight.
