WSOP 2010 Updates!

[Harsea21]

We didn't cashed out in the side event ... I busted out 120 over 780. My fault ... I should have know better :

- After dinner, antes are going up like crazy, every 30 minutes, with blinds.
- I'm a bit less than avg stack, on the BB
- Chip Lead on the Button
- Ev1 fold to the Button, he raises 4 x BB
- SB fold, I push all-in with 4 X his raise with AQs

- He almost folded .... but he saw something on me ... then he called.

- He had K9s

Flop : K89 .... I was dead!!

My mistake : I should have raised him 2.5 X his raise (raise was $15K, I would have raised to $35K), which would have leave me 1/3 of my stack behind

I think he would have fold .... If not, he would have just called to se the texture of the flop, and then either tried to trap me or to push me, and I wold have put him on th K and fold. And get back to work as the Elevator to raise my stack again ...

But I've could have "repaired" my mistake tho, once all-in, by going completely "unreadable" just like I was doing Monday nite on every hand ... I gave him to many reads, that was my other mistake.

But then again, I got unlucky, because I was way in advance pre-flop, and a flop like AJ2 would have nailled it for me ...

To win these you need to keep 100% you focus all the time (no mistake) and a bit of luck to win your race or not get sucked out!!!

But hey, we went down to the Binion's after and me an Jen finished ITM (woooot)

It been a great week ... Next year I'll be back for sure. Better prepared to avoid mistake and stay focused. You might also see me along the year on the circuit ... we never know. I'm planning for some events in WPT, and other North america events

My last word will go to Jen and LP team which has been so nice to me all week long, including Mastro and Rick.

BTW, Rick, I couldn't have made it so far Monday without you ... seeing you, standing there after midnight, calm, straight up, behind me everytime I was turning my head, knowing that you were working with Jen on updating the people on the site, this was so inspiring for me.

Thank you team!

PS: Next year we'll build a Twitter Harsea21 ...

RC and Rick are missed Mastro, Lin and I are off to another game in the morning and yay - Mastro's "little buddy" is in town also. Mastro leaves Sunday morning, just in time for my folks to arrive for Father's Day and mom's birthday.

Lin and I will continue to spend our days at the Rio and giving you special updates throughout the main event. Another 2 weeks and then we can come back and be hermits on the computer again.

We're not home yet ... got delayed in Chicago by a storm, and after having left Vegas for more than 33 hours we're still not home yet ... another 4-5 hours and I should get there! It should have taken us at most 15 hours. (leaving in the back country isn't always a great advantage)

Except for this, it has been a great week, a great moment of poker and a true moment of Luv for LP ... can't wait for next year

Congratulations on a great finish in the WSOP! Get home safely!

I was kidding when I asked you if it took you 20 hours to get home.
