I went to the WSOP today …

 

I decided to try a single table satellite

 

It has one winner paid … 1000 starting chips

 

I ran 3’s into A’s and lost but had 300 chips left … I came back and finally got heads up.

 

My opponent a nice young man offered an even chop, although he held a chip advantage. I nicely explained that I really wanted to play it out and that it was no disrespect to him, I just like to compete and the blinds were still 150/300 so there was still some play left.

 

I overcame a chip deficit heads up and even got a 3-1 lead (I had 7600 and he had 2400) when I had him all in. I held 22 and he held A6 … He won and now nearly even in chips and with blinds at 300-600 and 5K in chips it was now a crap shoot, so he again offered to chop and I explained why now would be the right time since we both had less than 10 times the big blind.

 

 

Well I went yesterday to the Rio for the 1^st time for this years WSOP.

 

WOW they have really tried to improve things… like a separate room for single table satellites …

 

I tried 2 satellites and finished 6^th in each  … 1^st hand I played I good allin pre-flop with 77 and flopped a set … WOW then the board went runner runner

 

357 flopped then 4 then 6 on the river a 7 high straight on the board and we all chop … Oh well … I could of lost after all in did get in bad getting called by QQ and AJ  …. I out flopped them and then the poker gods said let’s do a “Do Over” … J
