The bust hand I had 99k to start at 1200/2400 300. HJ opens to 6600, I see AKo in SB and raise to 24k planning to go-go if he calls snap if he pushes and take it down uncontested most of time. He calls. Flop is a really bad 873, but I think I have to push anyway. He calls with JJ. I brick out and he had me covered by about 2k. Weeeeee. 100 players or so short of money.
It;s taken a while to post the update as I crashed pretty badly after the ME and needed zero poker relaxaments to recover. I even missed the $1600 wsope live sat. Julia remarked midway thru series that I was holding up to the long intense hours much better than we expected. Initially I had reservations about even attending the series because I’m so far out of shape, but she talked me into coming out.
I’ll post more hands from day 2 and 3 if I get around to it, but the event is fading from my mind now so it may not happen.
