Main Event day 1A. finished with 37300

I had a great start and got up to 57K, but I had a terrible 4th level and finished in my lowest point of the day.

The structure is awesome and I'm just about average with a little less than 100 BBs.

I restart on Tuesday, day 2A on table Orange 83 seat 5.

WPT Bellagio Cup V $540: 15 out of 353

I almost went all the way in this one, but at the end the tournament was so turbo that you needed to catch cards or hold, and my A9s lost to A4o and then I lost a coin flip 66 vs JTo to end my tourney.

It's my third cash since I'm in Vegas, but two of them came in the lower buy in events. The level of play is worse for sure, but I just think I've run better in these events...

Now I have to decide which day to play the Main Event. I'm leaning towards 1A, although 1D is also possible.

I'll let you know as soon as I decide for sure!

Event 56: $5K 6-handed

I'm quickly updating that I lost in the 6th level. It was a very interesting tournament but I don't have the time to recap it all. Too many things happen when six handed!

In my bustout hand I took a risk that I think was the right move in a chosen spot, but I happen to run into a hand, and it's always dissapointing to get it all in in bad shape as it was in this case 77 vs KK, but I think the played I made was correct given the action that had been going on at the table...

Event 52: $3K Triple Chance

I added on right away and therefore started with 9K in chips. I don't understand why people mostly preferred to play with 3K and bring the other 3K in turns if they got busted, but even Humberto Brenes never added on until he was forced to at the end of level 3.

My tourney was quite eventful as I got involved in some pots, but I couldn't overcome being completely unlucky in the all in pots I played.

In the first level (25-50) folded to the CO he opens to 150. I reraise with KK to 450 in the button and he quickly pushes for 3K. I insta call and he shows AJo and gets there in the river.

I went as low as 3775 chips but after winning some small pots I was back up to 6500 in the 3rd level. A guy with 3K in chips opens to 400 in MP, Hijack with 2300 flat calls and I'm in the SB with AKo. I make a committing reraise to 1600, the original raiser folds and the HJ calls and leaves himself 700 chips behind lol. I set him in obviously in the 943 all spade flop (I had the ace of spades) and he calls with A5 of hearts. Turn blank, river red deuce and I lose another 6K pot.

The first hand after the break, with blinds 100-200, MP raises to 600 and I look at AQo and shove for 3450, and I get looked up by 55. Flop 5-3-3.

Humberto asked me if I had hit a child recently....I think that sums it up...

Tomorrow I'll be ready for the most fun event of the year though, the $5K 6-handed...

WSOP 2009: Part II

I arrived last night in Vegas.

In this second trip I'm planning on playing the following events:

3,000$ Triple Chance tomorrow.
5,000$ 6-handed on the 30th
10,000$ Main Event.

I still need to decide which day 1 to play in, but I'm leaning towards the latter days, either 1C or 1D.

I'm very excited to be here again, and I really have my hopes set in making at least another deep run. Only this time I want to go all the way to the FT...

Event 19: Busto

I just busted in the 3rd level. I started off really bad and by the end of the first break I was down to 4K (7500 starting stack). I lost a hand and was down to 3300 when this happened:

CO raise to 425 (he had opened like 100% when folded to him)
Button all in for 1800
SB all in for 4200
I'm BB and see AKo and obviously call. CO folds.

Shorty had 33 and SB had AQo. River's a queen and I'm done.

My first part here in the WSOP has come to an end. Tomorrow I'll just relax or maybe play some cash and I'm leaving on Wednesday. I'll be back on the 26th of june for the triple chance, the $5K 6-handed and the main event.

Thanks to all for the support!

Event 19: $2500 NLHE 6-max

I woke up today, went shopping, to the pool, got a massage and went to the movies to watch The Hangover.

I'm ready to go deep again tomorrow.

Event 13: 46th

I just lost a 550K pot that would have put me chip leader with 45 players left with KK vs AK, with another player having folded AK also.

To say I'm sick or disheartened wouldn't reflect my true feelings at the moment. They are much worse than that.

I don't know what to do.
