A couple of hey hands:
Dubai pushed for his remaining stack of approximately 4k from under the gun with 22 on a 236 flop, two of which were spades. The other two players in the hand flat called and checked it all the way down. One showed 67 for top pair on the flop, the other declared JJ. Dubai tripled up to 22k.
HEFFERNAN held AKo and raised to 350 preflop finding himself one caller. The AK9 rainbow flop was looking promising until HEFFERNAN faced a raise to 2200 following his lead out bet of 650. He cleverly smelt a rat and both checked the Jack on the turn. A King on the river gave HEFFERNAN a full house of AAKKK. His opponent called a 3500 bet, unable to lay down KK999.

Doobs and deejay sitting pretty with over 40k.
Doobs got an unexpected call with his all in push and tripled up- he is wondering around on happytilt right now before he goes back to his seat.
hangman and HEFFERNAN are around the 30k mark with most of the others sitting slightly above 20k.
Yesterday we had two runners Luke and Grazza who did not make day 2
Early doors yet but a promising start to Team Betfairs hunt for a bracelet

HOT HOT HOT....
Wow... arrived in Vegas to announcements that they are expecting a heatwave in Vegas as if 40c was not hot enough, oh no we are expecting temperatures to reach 47c!! All I can say is thank god for air conditioning.
A few changes to the WSOP this year, they have now announced that they are having 4 starting days and I believe that there are going to be 9 players per table. In addition the tables look more spaced out than previous years but I am ony going by pictures as this is my first vist to Vegas.
Most of our players are starting on day 1b(7th July), so expect plenty of updates on that day.
I can view the forum but cant log in to Betfair from here so please feel free to add comments and I will try to get your answers

Groundhog Day...
Yesterday played the $2K Omaha Hi-Lo: Run 4K up to 12.500 Chips, then cant win a pot after that.
Today played the $5K NLH Shorthanded: Run 10K into 25.000 Chips, then have a 43.000 preflop Coinflip vs Scott Clements. 66 lose AKo. Cant catch a break.
=> Live Poker is rigged !!!

Running cold and taking break
June20: $3K FLH ran 6K starting stack into 10.500 chips first 2 levels which gave me the tournament lead. Continued to be near the top for first 6 levels (had 13K tops), then totally ran out of steam and busted late in day 1.
June21: $5K Omaha Hi-Lo, never get much going and bust late in day 1.
Will take June 22+23 off then play the Mixed Hold`em on June 24.

WSOP Update
Took a couple of days off, then had a couple more flops. $1.500 NLH busted somewhere in midfield. $1.500 Razz made it in decent shape to day2 then got destroyed brutally 3 times. Gotta love poker...

Taking a WSOP break
NLH Shootout yesterday I played well but was disappointed to finish only 3rd on my 10-handed table losing a coinflip 66 vs JTs river straight.
Today played over-agressively in the $5K NLH and soon busted. No excuses there and I will give myself some days off from the WSOP grind.

$5K Limit Hold`em (Day 2)
No cards, no luck, no nothing. Just finished unplaced with about 48 players remaining.
Monday, 11 June 2007
$5K Limit Hold``em (Day1)
Just finished Day1 with 24.400 chips which is slightly above average. Two key hands:
At 300/500 UTG raises, EP 3-bets 1.500, MP calls 1.500, I have 44 on the BU and call for set-value, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls! And that on a tight table. Flop AA4 (2 spades)=> Jackpot baby! All 4 players check to me, I bet 500, all 4 players call! Turn an offsuit 5, all 4 players check to me, I bet 1.000, BB+UTG fold, EP check-raises to 2.000, MP folds, I 3-bet, he 4-bets, I 5-bet which is the cap. River is a blank, he check-calls and I win a monster pot.
Still at 300/500 a tight player raises from EP, SB calls, I call with 44. Flop is Q42 (2 clubs). check, check, raiser conti-bets, SB calls, I check-raise, EP calls, SB calls. Turn the ace of spades. Perfect. SB ch, I bet 1.000, call, call. River an offsuit 5. SB goes to Hollywood then bets, I call, EP folds and the biggest fish ever proudly shows 33. NH WP! If I win that pot I am tournament leader at that stage but hey what can you do.....
Hoping for a good showing tomorrow, re-start is 3pm Vegas time.

$2.500 H.O.R.S.E (Limit)
A quick word regarding yesterdays HORSE event. Never could get much going. I just analyzed where my chips went and I did ok in what are supposed to be my weaker games Stud Hi (-800) and Stud Hi-Lo (+425). Omaha Hi-LO was ok as well (-300). But I ran ice cold in my stronger games Razz (-1.650) and Hold`em (-2.675) and busted in level 11 (30 minutes each).

$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....

Get Rich or Die tryin`...
Landed safely in Las Vegas and will stay the first month in the Rio hotel before joining Team Betfair in the Wynn for the Main Event.
Checked out the pokerroom and even if you have been here before it still is quite impressive. Having said that the chaos of the first days seems to have settled down and I was able to register without significant problems.
Currently I am watching Game 1 of the NBA finals and will then retire early to be fresh for tomorrows PLH event. Stay tuned...

Viva Las Vegas...
Good news, I got the green light to fly to Vegas tomorrow. While I have not made a final decision, the first events that I have laid my eyes on are:
June8 $5.000 PLH
June9 $2.500 HORSE
June10 $5.000 FLH
June11 $2.500 NLH
June12 $1.500 NLH-Shootout
While I have also looked at events beyond that date it usually does not make sense to plan too far ahead. I will just see how I feel and how things develop. But this years schedule is enticing to say the least...:-)
Meanwhile see you at the tables, Buzzer
