Mission WSOP

It’s Been A While…

Long time, no blog… I haven’t had a chance really to blog about my latest poker escapades but I have had a few nice cashes recently to bolster the bankroll.  First, I took down the $4,000 Guaranteed HORSE tournament on Full Tilt for an $1,100 cash and then added a $109 Super Satellite to the FTOPS Main Event but cashed it in instead of using it.  Now, the bankroll sits at somewhere above $3,500 which is a nice jump in the bankroll.  I also am close to cracking the Top 100 on Bluff’s PokerDB Razz rankings.

It wasn’t all good as I tried to satellite into the FTOPS Razz event but fell short.  I wanted to play in the event but a $300 buy-in was just a little too rich for my blood. 

I don’t think I commented on the recent change made to the WSOP Main Event but since everyone else in the poker world has, I figured why not me too.  If you haven’t heard, the Main Event will play down to the final table and then will be stopped and play will resume 4 months later and played on tape delay on television.  This gives Harrah’s and ESPN a chance to market 9 players before it is decided rather than 1 player afterwards.  From a marketing standpoint, I think it is genius but opens the game up to some integrity issues as well as a number of other factors that many have mentioned… although I am still for the change.  If anyone who makes the final table and is unhappy with the decision, I will gladly take their spot.

Here’s the pictures of my recent results from my big win:
