Trip Report - TOC Final Table
Hopefully I'll have time for a more comprehensive report later, but here is an email I sent to a friend (he wanted to know which hands I thought would make TV).....
n 11/9/05, Brandon Adams <badams2525@gmail.com> wrote: 1. all-in pre with aa against qq (hoyt. terrible call after two all-ins) and 99 (aaron bartley). this was a 150k pot (biggest of tourney to that point). bust here 35%. 2. hand with chan. knocked him out with kk vs 88. not an interesting hand but will be shown b/c it's chan. it's kind of entertaining b/c the board came 10hJh4hQh, giving both of us a flush. chan had a straight flush draw but i had a higher one. 2. hand with doyle. i raise with AA. doyle calls from bb. board comes AT7 two hearts. check check. turn is 2 no heart. check check. river is 5 no heart. doyle bets pot, i go all-in. he says "i couldn't call 500" (he's left with only 4000). 3. knockout hand with doyle. fairly interesting three-way hand. looking forward to seeing this on tv. grant opens, i call on button with jj, doyle calls all-in (very close to fully calling raise) with A3. flop is king 3 grant checks, i bet one-third of pot, grant folds, my jj holds up. 4. first hand of final table. tony bloom raises to 9k early with X( i think AA, not sure), i re-raise to 27k from bb with QQ, he pushes for 75k more, i fold. knowing what i know now about bloom (tight), i'd just call in blind with QQ. 5. hand with hoyt. i'm interested to see how it looks on tv. watching him, i had a strong intuition that he had a hand. he has a tell --- takes longer to act when he has a marginal hand. i picked-up six 5k chips, then went back to my stack and picked-up a seventh one, and splashed them into the pot. he pushed in part b/c of this and in part b/c matusow had described me as a complete maniac that he had lost "$800,000" to online (def not true but he did lose 40k to me heads up 2 weeks ago). the flop was a thing of beauty -- 4-6-7. there was a strong internal burn when the queen hit on the turn but there prob wasn't a visible reaction. it really was a somewhat surreal moment. if i win the hand, i'm chipleader at 270k b/c phil had lost some of his chips. 6. double up with 55 vs danneman with Ak 7. bustout vs matusow with qj (short-stack push from cutoff) vs 88. i tried to brood a bit after the tourney, but my friends just made me drink and eventually i was ok.

Re: Trip Report - TOC Final Table
Would care to make any comments on the behaviour of Mike Matasow and Phil Hellmuth? I would be interested in hearing a player's opinion.

Re: Trip Report - TOC Final Table
liked them both.
i thought they would try to needle me b/c i was third in chips and hadn't played in front of the cameras before, but both of them were very nice. matusow and i have played a lot online and were friendly before the final table. his "A" game is world class --- no one questions that. |
