Tourney: June 20th 2011 WSOP Event #34 Day 2: $1000

Today was Day 2 of the WSOP $1000 event. I came in last place of the 323 players returning for day 2 with only 1300 chips, less than half of a starting stack. The blinds were at 500-1000 100 so I had a total of about 1 BB and expected to last approximately one hand. . .

Level 11: 500-1000 100. I was able to last 3 total hands today. . .2 hands longer than I actually expected myself to. I was lucky to find myself on the button when the day started so I could fade the blinds. It didnt really matter though because first hand, everyone folded to me and I found T6o and moved in for 1200 chips. The SB folded but the BB was forced to call the 200 more chips. He showed 83hh and I was in with the best hand! The board ran out K4356 as he flopped a pair of 3s but I rivered a 6 to make the best hand to double to about 3800. I folded the next hand when there was a raise in front of me and I found 72o. On the 3rd hand, there was a raise in front of me and I found K8cc in the hijack and went with it. The button also called all in for just 2500, and the raiser called my all in. The main pot was about 8500 and the side pot still contained ~3000 and I had a shot at both. The button showed A2o and the raiser showed J9dd. The flop came AA4 and had me almost dead for the main but still ahead for the side. The turn came the Jc and I now had a flush draw to win both pots but was behind for now on the side pot as he paired his J. The river did not give me my flush when it came another J and I was out losing both the side and main pot.

I busted in 317th place, cashing for $1895. It was a fun experience to go deep in a WSOP event but I would have loved to get even further. Maybe next time I will be able to do a little bit better and make more money.
