WSOP 2007 Day 5 Sun 1st - Hole in my SHOE
Today is SHOE day.
In the morning I finally managed to win a single table satellite. Well actually we chopped it up when there were just the 2 of us left with roughly the same number of chips. This was a $225 satellite so I won 2 $500 chips.
I used these to buy into the SHOE event, seven card stud, limit hold 'em, and the high/low games omaha eight or better and stud eight or better.
I would never normally play any of these games so it was quite an experience. There were only 730 runners and everyone (apart from me) knew what they were doing. Sat to my left was a guy from Enfield who is a full time player and to his left was Cindy Violette. She was incredibly nice to us - this was in contrast to the woman on my right who had recently made it to a final table (omaha hi-low I think) who whinged all the time about this and that. Most annoyingly I played a big pot with her when I bet wired up 4's in stud high all the way to the river and did not improve whilst she hit her straight.
I played a couple of interesting pots:
The first was probably the least well disguised stud hand ever. I started with an Ace face up and one in the hole so I raised the bring in who was showing a 3. He called. Next card is a K for me and a 5 for him. I bet he calls. Next I get a K. He catches a 6 so I check and he bets. I call. Next I get and A and he gets a 7. This is now pointless so I bet and he folds his straight.
The second hand was in omaha high low when I had AK23 and the flop was AJ7. I was up against a short stack so after a bet on the flop when the turn came T and river 9 we checked it down and when he showed A234 I scooped the pot thanks to my king.
I made it to dinner (better than Shannon Elizabeth) but never really caght any cards to be eliminated around 200th.
Here is the official report...http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/tourney/updates_pn.asp?tourneyID=3478&groupid=309&m=7&d=1&y=2007
Cost so far $5,000
