WSOP $5K PLO8 Day 2

Amazon Room Table 88 Seat 4

I walk into the Amazon room and they announce that we're playing in the Brasilia room. Bah!

Table draw:

Seat 1: RWG
Seat 2: Random White Chick. Last one in the tourney.
Seat 3: ROWG
Seat 4: JDN
Seat 5: Mickey Appleman, looking like he slept in a park.
Seat 6: RWG
Seat 7: Kevin Petterson
Seat 8: Andy Black
Seat 9: Empty

Mickey doubles the 2nd hand of the day, then busts seats 6 and 7 a few hands later.

At table breaks and we get a Random German Pokerstars Pro (RGPSP?) in seat 6, Alex Kravchenko in seat 7 and Brent Richey in seat 9.

I bust the RWG in seat 1 when my aces hold up against his A 2 3 x.

Up to 208K.

Mickey Appleman is a cockroach. He just can't bust. He got a sick call for all his chips from Andy Black, then tripled up, then lost all his chips, then doubled back up again.

Down to 45.

Mickey Appleman has a pager.

175K at break.

Chufty is moved to seat 1. He does not know how to play hi lo. Obv.

Down to 36 and another table breaks. Two short stacks get moved to our table and one of them is Jeff Lisandro.

It's awesome watching the Euros play PLO8 and really never considering the low part. Likewise the American players generally just go for the low.

Brain fart and I'm down to 100K. No details. I order a Heineken.

89K at dinner break.

Two hands after the end Of dinner break we lose a player. Down to 27 time for a redraw.

On to table 192 seat 4.

Other notables at the table:
Seat 1: Brent Richey
Seat 2: Andy Black
Seat 4: JDN
Seat 6: Andy Bloch
Seat 7: Chris Bell

Down to 23 players.

Ivey shows up to play 1 hand and busts. Then he heads back to the OE tournament to win another bracelet. Down to 21.

A short stack pots it in late position and I look down a A Q Q 6. I call from the big blind. The flop is A 5 7. I know for a fact that he has A 2 and that I have the best high hand. My biggest hope is that he's holding a 9 T in there too. Pretty sure all I got to do is avoid him making two pair and I'll scoop this hand. I willing to gamble on that so I bet pot.

He moves in. A 2 3? He shows Ac 2s 4c 9c. He's pretty much got the low locked up so I guess I gotta avoid the two pair. Turn 2. Fuck. River 2. Fuck fuck. He's scoops with a live 4 for the low.

We count out the stack and I have him covered by 4500. Awesome.

I get my 4500 in on the next hand and triple up to 12k. That doesn't last long when I call all but 1500 off when the lady gets me drawing dead on the turn.

I get my 1500 all in on the small blind and hit a flush to take half the pot and double to 3000.

A couple of hands later I double again to 6000.

On the last hand before break I'm the big blind and with 4000 and already committed to the pot I get all in with 9 6 5 7 vs the guy that I doubled up's A A x x.

Outsky in 21st.

Probably the most painful day I've ever had in poker. I couldn't win a hand. When I played tight I had to check fold the flop. When I gambled, I bricked out. I can only think of 2 hands that I picked up after the turn or scooped at show down. I could not catch a break.

I'm so drained by the day that I don't want to play poker again for a long time.

This is my 3rd bubble bust in as my years at the WSOP. HORSE HORSE PLO8. All in games that I consider myself to be above average in. This has been so brutal.

WSOP Event #43 $1500 PLO8

Table draw:
Seat 1: rog. Looks like Mario from Super Nintendo
Seat 2: the lovely ms Clonie Gowen
Seat 3: rowg. I've seem him around a lot he always wears a suit and a baseball cap. Def a euro.
Seat 4: rywg
Seat 5: Sam-e-nole
Seat 6: jdn
Seat 7: random... Oh he's out already
Seat 8: rwg. Looks euroish
Seat 9: rywg with a Mohawk and a sportscenter shirt. Someone should teach these kids how to dress.

3k at first break. I'm treading water. Gavin Smith is sitting at the table next to mine and he has 22k at first break.

After break I'm moved to table 23 seat 7 and I'm the shortest stack at the table. I don't recognize anyone so I'm not going to do a table draw description.

Gavin is out.

Oh Lee Markholt is in seat 5.

Love my new table. I get it all in with A 2 K 9 vs A 3 4 Q on a board of 4 8 T K. The river is a 3 and we chop. Poor!

Very next hand I get it all in with A 2 3 K vs A 3 8 9 on a board of 4 8 k. The turn is a J river an ace. Snap. Double up to 8k.

7k at 2nd break. This is the deepest I've gotten except for the horse.

Paul "The Truth" Darden makes 3 hand appearance before he busts. Grand opening. Grand closing.

Table redraw:
Seat 1: Chad Moore
Seat 3: rywg than kinds looks like a shorter fatter version. Of my brother. He has a dragonball z chip protector. Nerd alert!
Seat 6: random Russian from my first table
Seat 7: jdn

The rest are non descript honkies. I only play a few hands before the dinner break and I don't win a single one. 8500 at dinner.

A special shout out goes to Chris Ferguson for buying Layne Flack, Chris... Bell and myself dinner at the loud Italian cafe above the Wine Cellar.

After dinner the theme of not winning any hands continues until my big blind. Limped 3 ways into a flop of Ks 4c Ac. Holding Qc 2c 2s Ts, I check raise all in on. I'm against a donk that flopped bottom set. And I whiff.

New Orleans WSOPC

New Orleans $5K WOSPC

Jackson Square



I'm not going to lie. Its fucking cold in new orleans. At least in the casino it is. The temperature is so different from outside the casino that Im worried that my lungs will collaspe if I wander in and out too many times during the day.

The Stunning One and Chris... Bell the night before the main event.




Table draw:

Seat 1: The Syringe. This guy left the table for a good half an hour during the first level to get a sangwich but he waited to get back to the table to shoot up his what I'm assuming is his insulin. Never seen that at the poker table.
Seat 2: young buck with a card runners sweatshirt on. He seems to know his shit and plays like he's watched a lot of CR videos.
Seat 3: a complete donk... JDN
Seat 4: random southern white guy
Seat 5: random Asian. Non-sag but total retard. He's exposing hands during play, touching other peoples cards and chips and being an all around moron.
Seat 6: random older southern white guy with two sets of glasses on
Seat 7: The Russian.
Seat 8: random southern white guy
Seat 9: The Stunning One Bill Edler


Hey! I spy John Little! Hope that's really him playing. Rim shot please.

1st break 7k

2nd break. Treading water with 7k.

The Russian calls my river bet with ace high and its good. So poor.

Bill is locking his cup while thinking about his hand. Yuck. I think is an involentary action and he has no idea that he's doing it. I tell him after the hand, which he wins with a gutter ball on the river, that if we're ever in a hand together he absolutely cannot lick his cup. He said, "Oh was I licking my coffee cup?"

"Yes you were. I've seen porno with less tongue in them." I respond.

Shortly there after I ask Bill to make me some change with a 1k chip. I flip the chip to him but the moron in seat 5 grabs it and tries to give me change. I tell him I don't want it from him, I want it from Bill. He asks why he can't give me change and I tell him that he's bad luck.

I tell him to give it to Bill but he won't. He gives Bill the change and Bill sends me 2 $500 chips. Fucking idiot.

I get widdled down to 3k or so in the 3rd level. I limp in late position with KQ off behind a couple of limpers. The moron in seat 5 raises the blind 5x. Ok he's got 99. Seat 1 calls as do I. The flop comes Q 3 5. Seat 1 checks and I ship it. Moron can't get his chips in quick enough has seat 1 folds. I show my KQ and moron shows obvious remorse for calling. He's got TT. Turns is a T and I'm out. I wanted to kick this tard in the teeth for being an annoying moron all day. I thought about the psyhics of jump kicking him over the table but decided to go back to the hotel and beat my GF.

World Series here I come on a down swing.
