"Official" WSOP Event #3- PL Holdem Thread

[Kevmath]

On Card Player, they announced that over 800 signed up for today's event. With tomorrow's event being limit holdem, maybe about 1000?

The third event of the 2005 WSOP attracted 1,071 players. First prize is $369,535 and the field will pay down to 100. With the blinds at $150-$300, there are approximately 280 players left in the event.

I heard the count was around 1100 today. I was out at around 350-400. I outlasted Ted Forrest at my table and Scotty Nguyen at the adjoining table. Does that mean I'm better than them? Note for others: Don't push JJ from early position when the late position shortstack has kings and the big stack has AQs and an A will flop. Don't do it. Horribly misplayed by bustout hand and I hit the 4-8 table to blow off steam. What a change is caliber player. Met Roswell before the tourney started and I hope he lasted longer.

As for the NLHE Event 2, they were down to ~30 when I left and Hellmuth was still in. Couldn't really see any others.

I finished 117 of 1100 (or whatever). I'm writing tourney reports for every event I am in for my "investors" (about 7% of me is sold to family and friends) So I'll probably post this one as it is likely the best that I will do. I was so lucky to finish as high as I did.... but more on that later.
