WSOP: The short version

July 31st, 2006 · 5 Comments

I’m out.

I lasted about 11 1/2 hours, which was good enough to beat about 1/2 the field, but still nowhere close to the money. I’m certainly not happy about busting out, but it was otherwise an incredible experience.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of being two to the left of Daniel Negreanu for all but two hands. He’s a very nice guy, an excellent player, and it was great to be at a table with him.

I’ll write about everything in a lot more detail later….

    That’s a good first day showing — especially with an aggressive monster on your right. Can’t wait to hear all the stories.

    I bet you crush teh next IPC you play.

    Sorry about not latching onto the ring but hope you and the family had a great time. There is always next year.

    Way to go! Can’t wait to hear more about your experience of playing with “Kid Poker”. Sounds like you have a shot at being on ESPN when this thing gets televised. I am sure you will explain how you were busted and by who in WSOP: The Long Version.
