Still havnt seen anyone from pokerroom if they missed it they missed a great game.
I'll start at the beginning.
Went down at 4:50pm for the 5pm and was told we were being moved to the outdoor tent as the senior event had a lot of entrants.
All started off pretty normal no big names at my table etc.
Couldnt catch a hand first hour i got 3 splits and that was it so blinds had put my 3k stack near 2k there wasnt 1 hand i could have called that id folded well none i noticed.
seen devilfish and men the master chatting to people at the adjoining table.
Then someon bust on our table so who will be the new player at the table?....
Marcel Luske who id consider one of the best in the world at the moment,1st hand he doubled catching the nut straight on turn vrs a set his luck wouldnt change i think he won around 90% of the pots he played next half hour passed and i still couldnt find a hand and was at around 1.5k then someone else busts so who will be the next new player at the table? cant be someone as famous as marcel luske surely......
Johnny Chan, who i think has won wsop main event more than anyone else? i know phil has the bracelet lead now but main events i think chan is ahead?
Then the break after 2 hours so at least i made it that far
and was on around 1.8k so figured id regroup and hope for more luck 2nd session.
Chan lost 1 pot and he was down to around 800 chips , a few hands later i get Ac Ad 3d 7c i bet pot in late position chan calls everyone else is out the pot flop was like 479 rainbow i bet pot again and chan calls so ive got a chance to take out who id consider the best poker player ever.
he flips over kk23 so ive got him all ends up and he has almost no outs apart from a 3 for a split , turn : x river:3 he caught split on river.Guy to my right said unlucky man that would have been a story to tell the kids taking out the legend of poker.
Started to have a few more battles with him and chan got chan all in again in front but was another split, in sits eli elezra and great i think it was him anyway ive seen him a load on tv whoever it was if it wasnt elezra ill try and find out but he was a real nice guy and we had a few laughs also chan was nice and luske , i was s hort and pushed at one point and got the needed split and luske said "He's Scottish he has the heart of a lion"
few hands later chan bust so id outlasted a true legend of poker at least and we were 3 hours in , i had another few battles with luske he folded one and we split a couple then i lost about 800 chips i had 12 straight outs on an unpaired rainbow flop and and a few decent low outs i lost to luske though so im left with 525 chips :( i manage to double up in a 4 way pot i finally get a hand when im almost bust AAAA but someone catches low on river but still it doubles me, i get another double and on 2k with 100-200 blinds.
Then just under 4 hours in i play my last hand i get AA3 with a heart draw luske calls BB another guy bets 800 i bet the pot luske who has like 20k plus says i know youve got the aces but he calls so 3 way pot if i win im right back in it luske has a24q and other guy has a467 or similar so i got my money in front and am favourite to treble up or at least got 50% of a 3 way pot but luskes Q4 clubs found their flush and no low fell so he scooped the lot.
So im out but i outlasted a lot of players and id say i had the toughest table in the hall out of everyone, im hungrier than ever to come back next year and eneter as many events as possible, i wasnt intimidated and dont feel i made 1 mistake so im happy ith performance and the experience has to be great playing so many pots against so big names.
Sorry i couldnt do better but i done my best , ty all for your support it has meant a lot , im off for a stiff vodka!
