24k at next break then went on a small heater on the razz round . 
61k coming back to last 2 levels of today if I survive . 
Sorry no hand histories, so tired I can only focus on current hands for now .

good luck, whats the 9th game in the mix?

Thanks.  NL 2-7 single draw

Managed to bag 85.2k but still loads of the field left, I guess I’m average or just above poss. Didn’t look at the screen at the end. 
Went as low as 18k in those last 2 levels too but scooped a good few pots right near the end.  Chilling before back in 11.5hours so think I can put 1 or 2 histories up .

NL Holdem and Mike Matusow is the bb. 
500/1000 1500bb ante
im cut off open to 2400 with 1010, I have him more than well covered . 

He flats 1400 more then shoved 7.5k ish on a j92xcc flop with 95hh

I instant call and turn is a lovely jack and we see a blank river. 

Other hand is Omaha Hilo on the last level of day, I’m in late position and re raise decent players open with AcAh7h4h to try and isolate him.  Table weak spot calls on the button though and decent player 4 bets, I quickly decide not to cap as equities will run close on this one and I know button isn’t folding. 

Flop is Q94 and I bet and get called by both players.  Turn is nice 9 and just button calls me.  River is an 8 so I decide to check call just in case and he does bet.  I tank but I think I was getting 10-12/1 on the call and this chap had played so many weird hands I don’t think I was ever folding.  He shows kk and I scoop my biggest pot of the day.  Decent player told me afterwards he has a huge double suited Ak23 type hand.  Doing some math I think pot was 46k total at the end. 

Happy with my play overall but I’ll admit I deffo made a few tired mistakes mostly later in the day.

Solid start Rob, well done mate.

Lovely day 1, and best of luck for day 2!

Hope you're home safe & sound, Doobs.

Good luck Rob and sounds an above average stack.  Shame you didn't felt Matusow.

First day, for the last 2 or 3 hours I was really struggling.  Found I was OK after, but didn't finish late on day 2 and still kept waking at 4/5 every day bar a couple.

You are quite welcome to all the run good I am owed. 

Definitely wish I had come up this week with the 8/9 game and triple draw.

Ha, you are right. One of my favourite fellas to bust. Top 3 at least.

Yeh he was allin 7.5k .  Sorry my tired write up could have been clearer !
I watch his vlogs all time for wsop, they are so bad it’s just too good to miss for entertainment purposes.
Basically just him moaning about run bad the whole time with him crashing his scooter into a person or a door almost every other vlog. 
He literally just spent hours just moaning to Robert Williamson 3rd ( I think ) who was sat next to him. 

So todays draw includes a certain Victor Blom sat next to me.   Also Eoghan O’Dea who funny enough i had never spoken to until I had a friendly conversation for 5 minutes 3 way with Rob Sherwood the first night. 

Literally half left so aren’t really deep in the mtt at all.  But in with a shot and really looking for forward to it.  Managed 5.5 hours sleep but might try for some more when I get back after my eggs Benedict and fresh fruit .  Should be 3-5mins to room today for breaks as over in horseshoe .

Eoghan O'Dea is really solid at Omaha, played with him before.  Played with Isildur before and he isn't that special at mixed games.   Maybe he was just card dead though.  Sample size probably too low for conclusions. 

Think Matusow hasn't stopped moaning in years.  Could you hear him from 5 tables away?  I saw Phil Helmuth bigging him up for the hall of fame the other day, and was thinking a random would be better.  Think it gets voted by other old farts that used to be good at poker, so maybe he is a shoe-in?

There are plenty of old farts who are really pleasant at the table, and I am well and truly an old fart too, so it isn't just an anti old fart thing.  Given a choice I would definitely remove the over 40 requirement and put in someone like Shaun Deeb or Benny Glaser (even if he runs so golden Vs me).

I watched one of Matusow's WSOP VLogs last night & he was wailing on about a bad beat from 6 or 7 years ago. Villain "had no right to be in the Tourney, had no Idea" da de da.


Could not help but think he's an absolute dead-ringer for Marky147.
