I arrived 50 minutes late to the 5000 dollar event today because I was told that the event started at 2 pm. I found a table where I only recognized a pretty good player named Jonathan "driverseati" Tamayo. The only real interesting pot of the 5.5 hours of poker I played came when I ran an interesting bluff in level 2 against Tamayo. He opened to his standard 250 at 50/100. A guy called, and I decided to raise it to 1100 on the button with AhKd. Tamayo called. Other guy folded. Flop Ts5c2c. Check. I bet 1700. He called. Turn 5s. Jon checked and I decided to bet just, lol, 1200 into 6000 to see what happened. He called. River 8s for a backdoor flush. Tamayo checked, and I thought and bluffed all-in for his 5500ish. He tortured me in the tank for 3 minutes and opened up two jacks and folded. He'd get his revenge 4 hours later when he busted my 8bb stack when my AJo was no good against his black fives on 432xx.
In much better news our roommate, Adam "csimmsux" Geyer is 5th in chips of the 32 remaining players in the PCA main event. The winner will take home 3 million dollars. One time please. Can't wait to sweat it tomorrow. They'll play down to a final table of 8. Then, hopefully, I'll get to change my flight and stay on Saturday to sweat Adam at the final table.
