Samm Greenwood collected the most absurd hands during the main tournament and compiled a top-10 list, with Erik Afriat's full-house throw on the river earning 100 points.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.
