Mueller wins 2nd Bracelet, Heeb in the lead

So Greg "FBT" Mueller wins his second bracelet giving BigHeeb91 his 2nd bracelet win of the year and all but locking up the title barring a miracle main event for me. Heeb is up $40 in FT's and may get another if Gus Hansen can go to the FT in the 50k horse. We have bumped up the bets for the Main event. If one of our horses FT's, then that $100 for that person and if they win, $500. Probably won't happen but you never know.

Heeb up $140 right now.

WSOP Fantasy update

Very quick update. We each have 5 guys who have made FT's and we each have 1 win. Me Nick Schulman and Heeb Greg Mueller. Currently tied!!

How I turned $80 into $16,567

So as I mentioned in a previous post, I was heading to Vegas for a week to play in the WSOP. Well things didn’t go according to plans and that was a very good thing. My buddy and I and our significant others who were with us for the weekend had dinner plans at Lavo in the Palazzo on Saturday night. Before dinner my buddy and I decided to try a $80 satellite at the Venetian for entry into a $340 Deep stack event that Monday. Top 2 got seats and I was one of them after being shortstack and hitting a miracle turn card with 4 left when my KK ran into A5 all in pre flop and the board came 553 bu the turn came a miracle K. I win my seat, chop the last longer and go and play Monday. We start with 12k in chips and 40 min levels. I am up to about 17k when the following hands happens during the 2nd level. I open UTG with AA to 650 (blinds 100/200). BB raises me to 2100 and I make it 7k to go. He goes all in and I call and he has KK. Flop comes K high and I hit a the miracle case ace on the river. Same dealer who dealt me my KK in the satty…this felt like destiny to me. From their I play pretty much solid poker and keep getting big hand after big hand. At dinner break I was about 35-40K after taking some hits though. However, by the end of the night I have 635,000 in chips and in 2nd place with 39 left. Going into day 2 I was feeling really at ease and confident. On the 2nd hand of the day I win over a 300K pot (AK vs 1010 and my 10’s hold up) and am almost at a million in chips. I now enter the final table 3rd in chips and guaranteed over 4K. We are now 4 handed and I am last in chips. I ask the tournament director for chop amounts based on chip equity. He runs the numbers and 4th was worth 26k while first was 50k. If we played it out 1st gets 64k. The chip leader was a young kid who had about 50% of the chips in play. He states that he will not accept anything below $60k. After the TD and the rest of tell him what a deal he is getting, he still refuses and we play 4 handed for about 1.5 hours. At that point I am third in chips and the young kid is severe shortstack after doubling up almost all the players. I am then dealt KK in the BB and raise the chip leader who opened on the button. I have about $1.8 million and he makes it 275k to go. I make it about 850k and he pushes all in and I snap call. He has AJ and a Ace hits the flop and I am going home in 4th place. The kid finished 3rd for just over 18k. He cost me at minimum $10k and himself $32k. What a greedy donkey. The 2 guys left chopped up 1st and 2nd since they were close in chips for $48k apiece. I can’t complain too much since I ran like God pretty much (39 pocket pairs in 2 days) and outlasted 815 players. My biggest score by far ever and just in time as I need to pay some debt down and help with a down payment on a house.

Ship another $20

My boy Hoss TBF just made the horse final table. I doubt he will take it down but at least I get another $20 from Heeb.

Thanks makes 2 FT's for me and 1 for Heeb. No wins for either of us.

WestmenloAA FTW

According to heeb, Baron is 2nd in chips at FT..I already won $20 on this, let's make it my first bracelet win.

Prop bet update

We are now even after Heeb lost a bet that Nam Le would make the 2-7 single draw final table. I still haven't made a FT but still confident.

Final Table Prop Bets

So BigHeeb and I have made a deal that we would pay $20 per player from our non-bracelet prop bets list (Player list) that makes it to a final table during the WSOP. Right now he is winning $20 having had Justin bonomo make the FT fo the $40k event. Thankfully he didn't win so we are tied 0-0 so far in bracelet wins.
