he is down to 8,300, blinds now are at 150 - 300 with 25 ante's... to be honest there is no room for panic yet, i know skillwise he is very capable and blinds are not outraeous yet he still has around 25X BB.
we are all pulling for you buddy hopefully that chipcount posted by cardplayer is not correct, as confirmed by TP before they can be wrong. Last edited by jaeh00d; 07-31-06 at 03:44 AM. |

Apparently there's a "Mike" Petrillo sitting fourth in chipstack right now.
I did a double take, myself. Alas ...

He's at 6100 with about two hours left to play today. I just got him to text me. He says he was as low as 3400. He also mentioned something about losing a 25K pot. Apparently, he texted Robbie Robb a while back, but that might have come after RR went to bed. TP said the story could wait. I guess he wants to tell it himself.

They say the day you get knocked out of the WSOP Main Event is the worst day of the year. I don't think it's quite THAT bad, but it is a pretty sucky feeling.
Yup, I'm out. I made it until the last hour of play for the day, but with a short stack and increasing blinds, I had to start pressing a little bit. Eventually, I got busted. All in all, I feel like I played great, with the exception of one possible hand. I sent Robbie all sorts of updates about it (it was a SICK hand), but I see none ever made it here. Who goes to bed at 9 PM PT? Pffffttt! I played for 5 hours after that! Anyway, I did keep a log of all interesting hands, and I will post them all later, but for now, here's an update to say I'm out. And I'm ok with it. I outlasted almost 2/3 of the field, and like I said, I feel like I played great. There were a couple of times where (in Hellmuth's words) "I was supposed to go broke here" and I didn't. That one big second best hand really clobbered me. I won't type it all up now, but basically, the board was QQQTK and I had AK. They way it played out, it would have been difficult for me to not lose a lot of chips there. I know I played it wrong, but I'm not even sure where really.... It was just a bad hand, and yes, it was for a $25k pot. Losing that knocked me down to 6kish, and I fought with that stack for like 3 more hours, but eventually busted. More details later. Thanks to everyone for all the support - sorry I couldn't come through with a better finish. |

A few interesting stats from my head (I can confirm these later when I go through my notebook):
Number of sets I flopped today: 0 Number of times I was dealt AA: 4 (including 3 in the span of about 15 hands - won blinds twice and small-medium pots the other two times) Number of times I had KK: 1 (lost a big pot with it) Number of time I had AK: I'm not sure, bit it was definitely a big loser for me on the day. Number of times I had QQ, JJ, TT, 99 combined: 1 (I picked up the blinds with JJ once) Number of showdowns I was involved in, NOT counting the hand that knocked me out: 4. Number of those where I had the nuts when the money went in: 2. Number where I had the nuts on the flop and the turn, and had to make a big (correct) call on the river after a flush draw completed: 1. Number of showdowns that I lost (not counting my final hand): 1 - for $25,000 chips!!! Hmmm... what else? Oh, the hand that eventually knocked me out: With only 4200 or so chips left, I pushed in from the CO with Jd9d. The BB called with ATo. The flop came Txx with one diamond. The turn was the 7d, giving me 15 outs headed to the river: three Js, four 8s, and 8 other diamonds..... a non diamond 3 hit the river and that was that. Had I gotten lucky there, I would have been up to a much healthier 9k+ stack... still not great, but at least something to work with. Lots of other interesting hands to write about later. I should get some sleep though first. |

Good Job TP-we were are hoping for the fantasy to come true, but really all that you can control is your play and if you are happy with your play then that is all anyone can ask for. You made us proud!!! I can't wait to read more about your day.
And good jorb Robbie with the updates. Don't let the hate get you down, there is no shame in going to bed. Around here we say that sleep is the new sex because we value it that much. |

I've been debating on if I should play in tomorrow's $1000 WSOP Event or just stick to the cash games, etc. It starts at 11 AM - ugh.
Then I realized this is the exact event that I finished 6th last year (the defending champ is the guy who won my Final Table), so I HAVE to play. I need to final table it again! Guess I'll have to make tonight an early night. Last edited by Talking Poker; 08-02-06 at 11:21 PM. |

I couldn't get on the text/e-mail list at the last minute to get updates, that's why I wasn't doing it.
