Well next up was the the $5k PLO, we were losing about $35k for the trip so a cash was needed in this. It had only 23 runners but the field was still soft enough. I finished 12th after losing a pretty big flip. Butty (Dave Callaghan) marched on to the final table chip leader, but with only three getting paid he still had a lot to do.
He did manage to make the final three chip leader, but that's when things fell apart. Still got $26k for his troubles, which nearly had us out of the red, or did it?
By the time he had gotten paid, I had lost $22k in cash games, ran unreal bad in a very good game. Butty came to the rescue again booking a $26k win in cash that night, to keep our losses manageable.
Pretty sick, if we had held in three pots where we were up against 1/2/4 outers, we'd be ahead a decent amount. Both of us played the main event today. Structure is sick good in WPT'S,
30k starting chips and 90 minutes levels. Level three I flopped a set of 10s on a
flop. The turn was a black jack, which given the way the action went seemed like a vg card for me considering my opponents range.
It wasn't, my opponent had gotten 20% of his stack in on the flop drawing to a jack, as he held
no diamonds. I bet out
7.5k and had an easy call off of another
11k into
38k, when he shoved, obviously I missed. Then got my remaining
3k in when I shoved over an initial raiser who had received a few callers. We go heads up for the
7.5k pot, but again my
suited was no match for
off. Butty is still in the main, hopefully he can come to the rescue again.
Despite barely winning a pot here in Biloxi, I've actually had a really good time. The action has been thick and fast. I was in a sick game the other night. Must have been over $300k on the table, $50k pots going off willy nilly, playing $500 props with Josh Arieh (you have no idea, I was nearly skint). Every time Josh had the button we all had to put $1k in for a hand of blind Omaha, he was doing his bollix so no one wanted to piss him off, obv I didn't scoop one.
Going to head to New Orleans for a few days before going to Vegas for more tournaments once Butty is ko'd.
