Bahamas (WPT-PCA) 2007 - Official Updates Thread...

[Talking Poker]

I just checked the seat assignments for today. I'm at Table 9, Seat 2. I like the 2 seat.

The only name I recognized at the table is .

Two seats to my left, the guy has almost 10x as many chips as me. This could be good or bad. If I push in, I think it's more likely that he will call me (especially if he's in the BB when I do)... but, as long as my hand wins, then I'm more likely to double up!

Hoping for the best.

GL to Boobie too, of course.

you sure about that?

GL today boys!

Nice showing Kurn.

Out. Around 400th. Turns out they are paying a whopping 180.

I'm not even upset, because I seriously couldn't have gotten my money in any better then I did. After folding every hand for an orbit and a half, I get down to 10 BBs (10,000 chips). An early position guy raises to 2500, the cut off calls, and I push in from the button with AKs. The BB (the big stack) thinks and then calls, the original raiser thinks and then folds, the cut off thinks and then pushes () giving me some protection, and then the big stack thinks some more. At this point, I obviously want him to fold, because I can't get any more money in the pot. There was already, let's see - about 35,000 in the pot that I could win, so I'd rather only have to beat one guy than two. He finally calls, and I'm thrilled to see them turn over JJ (CO) and TT (BB). All I need is an Ace or a King - and they didn't even have any spades, I don't think! The flop comes three small red cards, the turn is another small blank, and I'm down to 6 outs on the river. It's a Q, and I'm out.

Damn... if I hit that, I'd be right back in this thing - still beow average, but not by much. Oh well.... It just wasn't meant to be.

GL Wes. Take it down!

WERD

[Tony Cheval]

Well there's your bar bill at least.

[X-Longshot-X]

No, they are paying out 180 places he finished 400thish so he won nothing, wes will have to pick up this one

[Talking Poker]

Yes, 2% of Wes should cover my bar bill.

I just checked on him a little while ago, and he was sitting with 160k chips - at John Phan's table (who Wes has covered many times over). I suspect his update tonight will be a good one. They are approaching the money. Keep an eye on for tourney updates.

I just registered for tonights $500 tourney. I cashed for $1000 straight in this one last year and am hoping to improve on that tonight.

In non-poker news, my girlfriend flew home today and my mom flew in. I need to introduce her to Monique (Isabelle's mom) - I think they'll get along great.
