Event #50 $5000 Triple-Chance NL

I made the dumbest call I've made in at least a year forty minutes into this tournament, and was punished for that mistake with the most prolonged run of crappy cards I have ever received in a major tournament.

Liv Boeree's results are an inspiration for mediocre longtime tournament pros like myself. It is possible.

Venetian $2500 Day Two

I busted in 31st place paying 27 the first time I was all-in during the tournament after playing almost all of it with at least 100 BBs. It was one of the more painful tournament exits I've experienced.

A google search for "female full tilt australia" identified Jackie Glazier as the bi-contextually solid woman sitting across the table.

Venetian $2500

I ran hot all day in this superbly-structured event and finished with 115k in chips with the average around 70k heading into day two.

One of these two people is the Poker Hottie of the Day.


Hint: that person is married to Caio Pimenta.

Event #45 $1000 NL

Blinds were 100-200 when I raised ATs from middle position to 400. Everyone folded to the small blind, who obviously didn't see me raise. He took a look at the big blind's stack (about 2000) then said "all-in." The big blind folded, I snap-called, the small blind had K8o, and the board ran out JTxKx.

We've reached the dog days of the WSOP, though there is still some snow on Mt. Charleston.

One of these two people is the Poker Hottie of the Day.

Event #43 $1500 NL

I lost three pots with top pair in the first two hours, folded for the next two, then lost a three-way all-in with AK against AK against ATs.

Poker Hottie of the Day Valdemar Kwaysser sat at an adjacent table.

Event #41 $1500 Limit Hold'em Shootout

This was my worst performance of the WSOP thus far, as I put in three or four unnecessary big bets and wound up finishing 6th at a tough table.

There is this one WSOP masseuse who looks just like Caroline Wozniacki. Honestly, she's even hotter than Wozniacki, with just about the most gorgeous golden hair I've ever seen. I don't have a creepy i-Phone-taken picture of that dazzling masseuse, but here's one of her doppelganger:

Event #40 $5000 NL Six-Handed

My bust felt underachieving considering how weak my starting table was. It's pretty disappointing to walk away from this, the $5k shootout, the $2500, and the $2500 out $15k considering how weak my starting tables were.

I wonder who will play Vicky Coren when they adapt her life into a movie. Perhaps Vicky herself will write the screenplay - she's a professional writer as well as an EPT Champion.
