Busto in Main Event

I did all I could in preparation for Day 3 but it just wasn't meant to be. The day started well for me, within the first two hours I had built up to 130k, but things went downhill from there. Key hand of the day was when I check/raised the river on a 3-flush board in a spot where I am almost never bluffing but got called anyway and just so happened to be bluffing.

After that I was really short and eventually got it in with A9s against AK from the button vs the big blind. As a whole I'm not terribly unhappy with my play but I wouldn't call it my A-game either. If my river check/raise hand would have worked out things certainly would have been different and I would probably be saying I had my A-game on but I guess that's just the way results oriented poker works.

Anyway, I now have a few more days left in Vegas and then I'll be touring California for a few days before I finally leave to go back home on the 22nd. I'll post a Vegas review and some more pictures in the near future!

Well done on making it as far as you did. That is still a pretty significant achievement.

Hey Cortster,

Really enjoyed reading about your progress in Vegas... You were unlucky not to make it that little step further...

Has been a great WSOP... phenomenal atmosphere... and there's always next year, as they say!

Anyway, maybe this video will cheer you up... What this guy Bryan Berg can do with a deck (or two) of cards is unbelievable...
