$5K PLH

Lets start yesterdays report with a quote from the Cardplayer-Coverage:
A few rows down sits Table 36, perhaps one of the toughest tables in the entire room, and there was only one person that I didn’t recognize. It sucks to be that guy sitting at the same table with Isaac Haxton, Nam Le, Vanessa Rousso, Scott Fischman, Kirill Gerasimov, Ryan Daut, Antonio Esfandiari, and Bertrand “Elky” Grospellier .
Of course the "poor" and "unknown" guy was me. No idea why I get no love from Cardplayer they just love to ignore me. Even when I was the early chipleader in the WPT Commerce they would rather comment on the colour of the socks of the guy to my right than even mention my stack. Well good that I have no big ego :-) If anything stuff like that will only motivate me even more.

Anyway, I outplayed those "big names" all day despite being pretty card-dead. In level11 there were 52 of the 398 players left. I was slightly below average and busted in the last hand of the day. I had raised, the SB had flat called. He then bet out the pot on an A63 rainbow flop. I have AQ and we get our chips in, he has AK. Well I didnt see that one coming....

Will be back...
