Hi Blonde,

I will be going out to Vegas for 3 weeks+ from the 23rd June, and am looking to sell 40% of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event, at 1.5.

This will be my 3rd time playing the Main, after making the middle of day three 2 years ago (not cashing), and busting end of day 1 last year. This tournament is widely considered as the best value comp of the year, with many qualifiers and recreational players. A lot of entrants will be very inexperienced playing such a deep, long structure and hopefully this is something we can take full advantage of.

I have previously sold for some bigger events on Blonde, and all transactions have gone smoothly and without any problems. Hopefully all investors would bear testimony to the speed of the return payments and updates etc.

A few examples of previous threads here: WSOP Main 2012 http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=57959.0 (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=57959.0)  WPT Baden 2013: http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=60378.0 (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=60378.0)

I am backed for MTTs by K&K, who will be taking my action for this and other events at the series, which i may sell further action in under a separate package.

Last years trip went well MTT wise, making 2 finals, coming 4th in the Golden Nugget $1k main event for ~$13k and 7th in the $2500 Wynn Championship for ~$20k. Since then ive had some decent live scores and frustratingly lots of near misses. All live results can be viewed here: http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=144420 (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=144420)

Payment can be taken through Stars xfer, cash, or bank xfer, and at todays rate of 1.508

Will sell in minimum 0.5% chunks.

0.5% = $75 or £49.71
1% = $150 or £99.43.
2.5% = $375 or £248.57
5% = $700 or £497.14

Require payment from people who arent going to be in Vegas before we fly, or 36hours before the tournament starts if people are paying cash in Vegas.

Will update the thread during the comp, and tweet chipcounts on breaks.

Cheers for reading.

      Mitch.

1C. GL us!

Cheers, glgl

25k going into level 4, for those who haven't seen twitter updates.

We made day 2 with 88k :D

Excellent. glgl bud

Nice work...well played!

Was following on twitter last night. Woke up with a hangover this morning and the news got me through the first few hours!!! No less than coming home with a final table seat will do!!

Good luck!

Nice stack for Wednesday now and a pleasant surprise this morning.

When I went to bed you only had 12k I think it was.

Let's keep it going.

Great work, glgl for Wednesday

Excellent work, as expected of the Team Eureka Leader & Captain.

So, in the end it was a good day yesterday in the main.

Cliffs:

-Started horribly, bricked a lot of flops and got no c-bets through. Made a bluff in a spot which gets through a lot, but villain found the hero call. Stack was as low as 9k in level 2.

-Had mini heater, got some 4bet jams through with the old KK and QQ in consecutive hands, and got myself up to about 14k before doubling KK>J9 on 964 vs the big spot at the table.

-Started to get some momentum and was winning a bunch of pots without showdown, then made top set on 964 and got close enough to a double from AA. Put me to about 80k in last level.

-Last level went badly, had a young Asian girl who was getting there vs me in every pot we played together, and was struggling to win a pot again.

-2 hands to go, found dream spot. Good young guy opens CO to 900, the spot peels button and we make it 3,300 from sb with the Simon Trumpers. OR folds, other guy snap peels and pays off 3k, 7k, 15k on K high run out to leave us with a nice stack for day 2.

Had a really good table from the get go. Nobody who i would describe as terrible, but none i would describe as good. Mostly, they couldnt value bet thinly or hand read too well, so once i figured this out and got some chips again, it was pretty easy going. Obviously, the seat draw is vital, and day 2 could be full of sickos, so just hoping for the same again really.

Just done a quick HM search on my table, looks decent. Just hoping the ones who 'did not report' arent wizards....

2064 Mitchell Johnson ALVASTON DERBY, , GB 88,850 Amazon / 418 / 1
2065 Deepak Bhatti LAS VEGAS, NV, US 64,000 Amazon / 418 / 2 got a second in a $1k event in 2010 for $385k, not many results, all from WSOP events though.
2066 DID NOT REPORT 35 US 18,275 Amazon / 418 / 3
2067 Michael Dwyer Las Vegas, NV, US 45,800 Amazon / 418 / 4 2 bowl cashes in rio deepstacks
2068 Gary Friedman BEACHWOOD, OH, US 62,500 Amazon / 418 / 5 Few small cashes in mainly $200-$400 events
2069 DID NOT REPORT 27 US 17,825 Amazon / 418 / 62070 Eric Bastien Richmond, TX, US 8,025 Amazon / 418 / 7
2071 Arturs Sehnofs LV 139,000 Amazon / 418 / 8 No match
2072 John Richards Provo, UT, US 83,075 Amazon / 418 / 9 Looks to be a lower stakes guy who has a few results spread over 10 years, nothing over $10k

unreg so you're not in seat 1 all day (gl)

Well done Mitch. Where did you find your table draw?

GLGL Day 2.

http://www.wsop.com/pdfs/reports/12861/Main-Event-Day-1C-Counts-by-Table.pdf

saw on twitter durrr and gus were two who bought in and didn't report. Could be fun

Hope dwan or gus aren't the unreported ones on your table. Or hope they are still busy playing Chinese.

They are named on the day 1c by chip count, so it isn't them. 

Maybe those stacks belong to people who have popped their clogs since buying in/winning a seat. I remember Paul Jackson writing a blog about how thrilled he was to find out he'd been outlasted by 5 dead people in the main event one yr

Good luck today Mitchell.

good luck today mate . Hopefully more days infront toooooo

Going along nicely, deep into Day Two.......

Get through?

Course he did. He's slow rolling us

he has 45k

Yeah, sorry, phone went dead so couldnt update. As Alex said, i have ~45k so just under 30bbs 2moro.

Peaked at 150k, then had a guy who just coolered me 3 times within one level to leave me shortish, and the last level was a real grind. Barely won a pot in the last 4 hours.

Main hands, all vs the same guy who was pretty bad:

Lost AQ<QT on QTX flop for a medium size pot where i just called all 3.

Had 78 on 9TJ board vs his KQ

Had JJ on J94K2 vs his QT.

Was crushing quite hard until the straight over straight board. Had a guy on my direct right with chunks of chips who was so erratic, regularly betting 4x pot on every street etc, just didnt get into any spots with him the whole day. He managed to get away with almost every hand too, so whoever gets him on their table 2moro is in for a nice treat.

Were still in with a shout anyway, need to get off to a good start 2moro and anything is possible. Leggo!

Good luck ginger and please don't bubble !

Nice one...good luck!

Nothing an early double-up can't get back on track.

Hang in there.

Table draw looks pretty incred. Seat 9 won a 2.5k 8 game this year but nobody really has much of a holdem record besides seat 8 who plays a lot of live $200-$1k FOs with a ton of mincashes.

glgl

Name Mitchell Johnson?

Yeah, he's wearing it lol.

Got early double, KQ>AJ aipf.

BOOMZ

oioi goooooooooo

So sigh! GG about 60ish off the money.

Been grinding 30bbs for the last 6 hours. Final hand 3bet all in vs a guy opening every pot for 105k @ 2k/4k/500a with AsQs he just has AK and we didnt get there.

So annoying, put a pretty massive dampener on the whole trip, and just cant wait to get home now.

Typical it was vs the guy whos just won every pot against me all day and been a bit of prick throughout, calling clocks in big hands, berating other players etc. Key hand earlier when i was up to 270k and he decided to peel a 3bet for a 3rd of his stack with deuces and get a 244 flop vs my queens. All a bit down hill from then really.

GL to the Brits still in, especially Nick Hicks. The kid is due! ;-)

Thanks to all who invested and sent messages of support throughout the days.

Mitch.

Ul wp, get em next year.

Unlucky Mitch. Great effort, enjoyed the sweat.

Tosser
