Jonkers and Shimon Play the 'Box Game'
One of the beautiful things of the WSOPE Main Event is the incredible structure. Players start with 100,000 in chips, which will still be over eighty big blinds at the start of Day 2. The structure makes it that the players are definitely not in a rush and have some time to spare after folding.
Mathijs Jonkers and Matan Shimon made a game out of folding. There is a little box on the table and if they manage to throw both cards in the box while folding, they may collect €10 from the other player.
One of the other perks of the amazing structure is that the late registration for the tournament is still open until the end of the fourth level on Day 2.
