WSOP 2019 Updates

[Tal]

Doubled but still short.

390k at 20k/40k/40k

[Marky147]

Spin, spin, spin!

[Tal]

New table. 745k. Sam Razavi to my right and Yian Liperis has just doubled up, three to my left

[Marky147]

Lovely stuff. Good luck!

[Karabiner]

Lovely stuff. Good luck!

[Tal]

90 left in the second break of the day. At least one olympic gold medallist remains.

As he's a gooner, it would be a pleasure to beat Audley heads up.

I still need a double up. Think I've been saying that for 20 something levels now.

GL mate!

Sam Razavi opens to 130k. I shove 640k with AK.

Sam calls with aces, which seems reasonable.

I offered him a chop before the flop, telling him it was his final chance. He declined and luckily got away with the win.

80th place. Won't lie: pretty chuffed. I should be gutted at getting past over 3,000 people and being 79 away from $400,000. But, no, I know I've played fine, ridden my luck and have everything I could fairly have asked for when I sat down yesterday to play.

We'll get 'em next time.

[Marky147]

Damn!

Great run, and cold exit. Well played, mate.

[BigAdz]

I chanced it one more time, he has 600,000, which is exactly average. 3,200 entries, 215 left.

Excellent stuff old chap. A great start.

Can't help noticing though maybe you should grasp the nettle and take a leave out of the book of the guy next to you, before that leaf or nettle blows off.

[DropTheHammer]

Nice run Tal, wp. Good luck in any other tournies you play.

[4KSuited]

Very nice run, Tal, and good luck with the rest of your schedule.

(At least your chips went to Sam, one of poker’s truly good guys)

[Karabiner]

Well done Simon.

Just for you Ralph

Omaha on my table was very enjoyable
There was a massive queue of alternates
Who having bought in were waiting for a seat just before - as in 5 pm
closing reg time 7 pm
It was the most enjoyable 600$ I’ve spent this trip
Old Japanese lady from Sydney flew in for a month to play wsop was a comedy genius she amassed a good stack muffin n duffin me n her n a lady between us from Colorado really got some banter going
I can’t remember Omaha hands
I had suited aces cracked 3-4 x and was soon down to 20 k from 30 k stack
It was a real grind
Once mrs Colorado bust
A youngish guy came in
He knocked 3-4 people out and 4 x his stack in 3 hands boom 1-2-3 of his first hands after sitting
I thought you big headed c* nt
But as I sat n observed he was just a very very good player
He always knew what the pot was what the winning had should have chip wise
He was all inwith a guy and the dealer said 56 k as he lost
No it’s 52 k he said
He was right every time
Very clever
Very observant
Very good player
I bust out n left
I’m booked in to play super seniors Monday 17 ththat will be my last time at the Rio
Toilet queues are ridiculous
Couple times when needing a shit I nearly never made it - all them lobster tails reappearing outta my tailpipe !
It’s so busy there honestly bring some food like cereal bars n be self sufficient
I was right in a corner such a trek for the toilet so I didn’t drink anything all afternoon
My mate paul Fowler 5 th at aria Omaha for $3500 I got 20% of him 1400 so paid him 700 yesterday over breakfast so nearly freerolling there
He’s in the $1 k weds
At 60 it’s a struggle joint as in hip n knee joint wise to sit there that long
