Anyone in this one? I'm at table "Burgas"

[jslag]

Yep, I'm in it. Table Raqqa. Good luck modaddy, see you at the Bellagio. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice stack...weird that PR doesn't let observers chat.

Just us, it appears....

Looks like you doubled up too. I'm sitting at 4485 at the first break. I really want to get one of those Five Diamond tickets!

Won some small pots with KJs, 55, 88. Then I open raised one limper with KK, he went all-in and I called. He had 77 /images/graemlins/confused.gif Thanks for donating, buddy

The prize pool for 4-9 isn't too shabby either. I didn't have to pay my main draw entry fee, won a ticket during one of the US Daily $50+4 tournaments they hold every weekday (very soft).

Got 3rd in last night's 35k Guaranteed, so hopefully I can take that momentum into another final table today.

Good luck Mo!

Yeah my big hand was Aces. They (Aces) knocked me out of the last two big tournaments I was in so it was nice to see them hold up. (AJ hit a TPTK flop and decided to call my push)


I'm actually going to be in LV for a few days starting this coming Friday (mostly on business), but will be trying to satellite into the $1500 PLHE on Saturday...

GL!

Ooof, tough river.... hang in there!

Man, that was ridiculous. I hate it when they hit their 3-outers.

I'm over at Table Bern now.

Another lame beat... my AJs loses to big blind's 65o, still alive at 2933

[modaddy]

Whew, survived two nervous pushes to hold water @ 2300...

- 1 loose limper, I move in with ATo on the button, he folds
- UTG w/ AJo, I push and take down the blinds

[jslag]

By a thread... 2183, have to push soooooooooon

[modaddy]

I'm out... A7o in the SB. Short stack just covering me (around 5 BB) UTG limps. I think he's possibly got a small pp or suited connector and decide I have enough fold equity to move in -- he makes a nice call with AJ.

GL, man!

[jslag]

GG.

Pushed with A3s and picked up the blinds... one more orbit, need to find a hand.

[jslag]

Yes oh yes

Nearly triple up with QQ in the BB! 6766

[modaddy]

Saved by the ladies.... nice triple, just in the nick of time!

[jslag]

5721. Not sure if this was a dumb call or not, but I figured I had live cards and there was 400 in dead money in the pot.

Villain goes all-in for 1890. Folded to me in the BB, I have 87o. The blinds are 400/800. It's something like 1085 more to me.

Easy call or easy fold? I called and lost, but had 10 outs on the flop.

At 6921 now

[modaddy]

I'm a big fan of calls like this when you have chips to spare and are reasonably certain you have 2 live cards. There's way too much overlay to ignore... unlucky. Keep going, field's getting trim!

[jslag]

Made the money, but lost most of my chips when I called an all-in with AJs in the BB, guy had 77 and hit a 7 on the flop.

Going all-in right now with A8o... 2718 chips, blinds 600/1200. And... got the blinds.

4518, 30 players left. Need to double a couple times for any sort of playable stack.

[jslag]

Made the top 20 for another prize increase... but I have less than the BB -- 1506. Need a miracle to make this final table now.

[jslag]

And I'm out in 20th. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Oh well... did get some cash so it wasn't a total waste of time.

Gotta get re-focused for the Empire WSOP free roll in an hour.
