WSOP 2007 Day 7 Tue 3rd - CEO blow up

There was a limit hold 'em shoot out tournament today. All the Ladbrokes boys had been entered in this as part of their package - they did not seem too happy about it.
Played a $325 satellite in the morning. Limped along for ages until eliminated 4th when I tried to nick the blinds one too often.

Went with Steve to the Venetian for the CEO poker tour day 2 event . A $500 deep stack tournament - Steve and I were on the same table and I had one of those nightmare games.
In the first level (40 minutes - about 20 hands) I was dealt loads of good starting hands but when I raised with AQ and KK everyone folded. When I raised with AJ twice I got called and got terrible flops - one was all clubs the other KQ7. When I bet into them I got raised and had to fold. I was also deal KQ twice and had to fold to raises.
In the second and third levels I got AK twice and one again after I raised and got called and bet into raggedy flops and had to fold to reraises.
After the break the antes start so when I call about 5 limpers with 2 low clubs the pot is pretty big. Flop comes Q77 with 2 clubs so I decided to move all-in with my flush draw. Unfortnately I get called by someone with a 7 and I do not improve.

I go back to the Rio to play the $500 mega satellite but I don't even make it to the break - not particularly bad play but just a lack of chips to withstand a couple of unlucky match ups.

Cost so far $6,425
