WSOP – Week 1

The first week in Las Vegas for the 2011 World Series of Poker has not gone quite as planned.   I’ve had a few near misses including a pretty deep run in a Venetian Deepstack where I flopped the nuts and ended up losing to a rivered full house for 200 BBs with the bubble approaching.  I also made Day 2 of WSOP Event #8 ($1k NLHE) but after losing a big flip with 88 vs AK, I got the rest of my chips in with top pair and the nut flush draw but that was not enough to win the hand and I was out with the money bubble once again approaching.

The good news is I've been caging 4 card poker.  But you know me, I want to win tournaments!!!

I just registered for WSOP Event #13 ($1500 Shootout) and am really looking forward to that event as I think it provides one of the best opportunities to win a bracelet.  I’ll be updating from that event on my Twitter account @bigdogpckt5s.

Also, make sure you check out the new Tournament Poker Edge Live podcast (https://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/tournament-poker-edge-live-podcast/).  We’ve had a lot of fun doing the first couple of episodes and we will be doing new ones on a pretty regular basis.

Good luck to everyone playing events this summer!

Casey “bigdogpckt5s” Jarzabek is widely considered to be one of the best online players in the world. The Canadian pro got his start after an accident on the baseball field left him laid up in bed. With nothing else to do, Jarzabek deposited some money online and hasn’t looked back.


In the years since, Jarzabek has racked up over $2.5 million in tournament earnings and spent both 2009 and 2010 as a contender for Card Player Online Player of the Year honors. Jarzabek is also the lead pro at TournamentPokerEdge.com, which features poker training from some of the best minds in the game.
