Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[nirvana]

A quick "good luck" message to animalpoker (aka Rob Price) who, minutes ago, had a Top 10 stack in the WSOP O8/Stud thing.

The thing with Rob is that he has a super aggro style, so he's never far from doubling or busting.

This screenshot from the WSOP+ jobbie was a bit ago, but he WhatsApp'd me minutes ago & was on 660k. He had a bruising loss with Queens full to Kings full but since then has got right back into it.

Thx mate
Managed to bag 930k which was the highest I’d been all day taking a nice pot of Gus Hansen at the end in O8.  Hellmuth joined our table for the last hour too
Was fun , time to rest up and hopefully go deep at the business end tomorrow 1pm restart (8pm uk time)

Well done Rob.

Thanks
Played with 3 of them quite a bit yesterday
The short stacks will make for a fast dynamic with more luck as well as the huge blinds
10/10/40/80 stud
And 20/40 40/80 O8
Redraw at 24 left anyways I think , also no phones after that point I believe  , I’ve used music a fair bit in this tournament so might miss it a bit , determined to not replace that with alcohol though .  I’m actually dry for 3 of the last 4 days .  Slept well considering how excited I am .  Restart in 3 hours , off out to get food shortly and probably stock the fridge with something for dinner too .

all the best for today,  what a great opportunity, glgl

Yay, Glenda's back.

Get your Countdown pupil to post so we've got someone other than Tom and Boo to take the piss out of.

Thanks mate
The most brutal 25 minutes of my 20 years in poker
Was in shock in the room for an hour afterwards
Currently on 1/2/5 big O awaiting beer
That’s poker !
Sometimes it’s made to test us
