Main event...Day 5????by Josh Brikis | Published: Jul 14, '10 |
Wow am I exhausted..this main event is a grind! I absolutely love it though…it is so fun to play so deep…this structure is the best! My first table of Day 3, I sat next to a great guy that I met named Gary who told me that he reads the blogs and that he enjoyed mine and I really appreciated that…so whats up Gary?? Thanks for reading! We broke from the pavillion room and moved to amazon…I was moved to Johnny Chan’s table…at the time he was the chip leader…he doubled me up early when he overplayed 1 pair (AK) when I flopped a set and we tangled a few other times as well…he was quoted at the end of the day saying he didn’t want to see me tomorrow…hes a good guy and a great player…but I did have position on him…and ultimately that worked out huge for me…he managed to bag alot of chips but they werent from me…I bagged 616k in day 3…and day 4 today was even better as I practically doubled that and bagged 1.2 million. There is around 574 players left of the 7,319 and we are in the $. I had an interesting day where I won some key hands…actually made some real hands today which was fun…and totally abused the bubble like I never have before…this was a huge min cash at $19k and alot of short stacks at my table were not going all in the last hour before the $…so i was able to chip up 200k plus in that time. I felt great all day…Kido Pham was at my table and he played solid for the most part except he got caught in a huge bluff and never recovered…and ultimately I busted him 4 away from the money in a hand that will probably be on TV. We had a fun and talkative table…which makes the day go by quicker when you arent involved in a hand or waiting on the bubble.
I did an ESPN interview this morning…that was alot of fun…cant wait to see myself on TV. I also hope there is more of those to come because that would mean I am doing well the next few days. I am sorry these recent blogs have been so short…but I have no time and I am so tired I am going to bed…Day 5 2010 WSOP Main Event @ Noon…cant wait!
