10k PLO

Yesterday my run came to an end in the 10k PLO world championship in 19th place out of 300 runners. I was very happy to get this far since the field was insanely stacked and there were hardly any soft tables, but also sad that I ducked out 19th.

I played a pot where I limped utg with KT9J, K9hh where I limped utg for 16k with an effective stack of 420k, matt graham made it 40k on top from the bb after it folded to him from the bb.

I called and the flop came 6c 8h 3d. Matt G bet 55k and I decided to repot, comitting myself. Matt thought forever (I knew he had aces, thought he would be forced to fold) and finally made a really tough call with AA22. I hit the Th on the turn, which gave me a real fighting chance to win the pot, but the river bricked out and I busted.

I want to say congrats to Matt Graham, he played a heck of a tourney.

I will be playing alot of events before the end of the series, and I expect to make at least one final table and then go for the bracelet. Starting with the 2500 Omaha 8/b today.

I also wanted to mention after much talk about the contract, Absolute Poker and I have now come to an agreement and I am thrilled to be working with them and representing them to the best of my ability.
