What's it like to play the WSOP Main Event? 

And, more to the point, what's it like to bust on Day 2, way before the money? Find out as the five-strong 888poker team all open their bags for Day 2 of the biggest Main Event ever, in episode four of their WSOP docuseries.

All five 888poker players – Vivian Saliba, JaackMaate, Aaron Barone, Nick Eastwood and Lucia Navarro – made it through Day 1, but as the tables get tougher and the big stacks get bigger, the true struggle of the Main Event hits home.

You need to start making some moves as well. Some more than others. "Day 2 was one of the most ridiculous days of poker I've ever played," Eastwood says. "Genuinely. No exaggeration.Some of the most ridiculous bluffs I've ever tried, especially in the first level."

Five players start the day. Only three survive to make Day 3. You can find out who's getting an early flight home in the video above. 

If you missed the first three episodes, you can catch up on the action here, here and here, and subscribe to the 888poker YouTube channel for more. 

You can also find out what you can expect at the 2025 WSOP, when it's likely to be under the new ownership of GGPoker. We spoke with GGPoker ambassador Daniel Negreanu in an exclusive interview, and found out the first big improvement that players can expect.
