Raise with 9-9, Mr Tight calls again, lol.

Flop 10-9-5dd, wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

He bets 2k. I make it 5k. He jams. I call. I have a set of 9's, he has A-10.

And we see this runout.....

I'm not in the habit of taking "hand" 'photos at the table, it's a bit naff imo, but I think this was a reasonable exception, nobody would believe me otherwise.

He was a lovely fella & was all apologies afterwards. I went & shook his hand & wandered away tail between legs & a bit shell-shocked that the party was over so quickly & in such weird fashion.

Surprisingly, the beat never bothered me THAT much, it's poker, it happens, but departing in Level 3 of a WSOP certainly was a big disappointment, I love WSOP days so much.

If I misplayed the hand I'd be cross with myself, but I played it correctly (imo).

Those who have managed to grind their way through these reports may recall I exited the WSOP Big O in similar fashion, when two of us flopped the same boat but his (inferior) danglers got there. That was a 5 card game of course so it's not that terrible.

Anyway, that's that, and the 2026 Vegas hole just got deeper.

Tomorrow I go again, bullet 2 in the $1,000 WSOP Seniors.  It'll be first rebuy/re-entry of the trip, so there's that I suppose.

Not sure it's wise to revisit the scene of the crime, but there you are.

Incoming WhatsApp from a pal who can't see the 'photos, so in case he's not alone....

Flop;

 

Turn;

 

River;

 




when I pinged the 10 turn I did a mental fist-pump, but before I could compute the extra outs he gained (3 x A, 3 x 5 & 1 x 10) the Dealer had rolled off the river & I heard a sort of collective "ooooh".
