Tweet, Tweet, Bad Beat: WSOP Edition
This week, the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event swallowed up social media. So naturally, PokerNews decided to make the most of it. Here are the behind-the-scenes heroes of the WSOP, those who kept us up into the wee hours of night watching through to the final hand.
Rotation!

We all had high hopes for Vayo.
Finally Vayo taking a stand #wsop
— Darius Studdard (@IDontLookLikeTO)
But maybe this was closer to reality:
Rooting for Gordon, but # RT @casekeefer: Here's Gordon Vayo, down to 54 million chips.
— Tyler Patterson (@TylerPoker)
And maybe he did too.
This is what Vayo looks like every time Qui shoves on the river. #poker #wsop
— MicrostakesHero (@MicrostakesHero)
Vayo doubled up with a runner-runner flush and this is what he gets.
