Full Ring Ballin'
Hey guys, quick WSOP update since I can't sleep at all.
I got out here on June 2nd, our place is nice. The location is good and it looks great inside. I am too lazy to get pictures up though, sorry. On the poker side of things, I've not really been playing well or running well. I'm down a few buyins at cash, and have only made 2 dinner breaks out of 4 WSOP events. I got a small cash in a Venetian Deepstack but nothing of note. I got food poisoning the same day as the Venetian Deepstack, and ended up vomiting during the $1k WSOP event. Thank god I had a couple days off to relax and get well, because my favorite tournament of the summer was yesterday -- the $2500 6max. I'm coming in to day 2 of it today with a solid stack though. I ran really hot and played well yesterday. Mini-TR: I was accumulating nicely, up to 10k from 7500 at 25/50, raise J9hh, good player (I think his name was Josh Smith, not sure) called. Flop AQ8h, I cbet and he calls. Turn 4h, he leads and I raise around 2.5x and he calls. River 4 and he c/c with A6 to get me back to around 5k in chips. Get to first break, come back and win TT v AK, then QQ v 97 on Q769x to get to 22k at 100/200. I basically ran the table after that. Got moved to an even better table where I was able to open 3/6 hands an orbit. A reg I played with before 3bet me and I defended with ATo. Flop KK2, he leads half pot and I call. Turn 3, he bets half pot again and I minraise, he folds and says show me a bluff.. I do and he starts to tilt. He busts soon after, then a maybe speculative hand happens. I open ATs at I think 200/400, get 3bet small by an older guy and I defend. Flop Q97s, he cbets and I call. Turn is 2s and I jam for 1.5x pot after he checks. After thinking about it, I should have just bet enough to price myself in because it looks scarier, but he thinks for a while and calls with JJ. River 6s though, and I scoop the 60k pot to get to 115k. I raise a lot of pots, and get moved to a new table. I call down a triple barrel against a younger guy with 88 on 332J9 and get shown QQ, but I don't think I mind the call-down. I was tired and it was late so it may be a river fold though. A few more hands happen, and then I defend bvb with A3s and eventually get looked up on river on a JT5ssQ3s board with 66. Apparently I have an image. So I ended the day with 89k, going into 500/1000 today. 60 from the money, 188 until I get a bracelet. GL guys! Trevor
