This guy has really been hurting lately.
I wonder what kind of bankroll he has right now.
If not for sponsers, he may be under a bridge by now.

Sure is a lot of big names involved!

yes, but don't be fooled by the list...i'm guessing this is only 10% of the people remaining...they just follow the notables.

I was fortunate enough to be at his table in the $1500 NL buy-in event, he lasted about 1 hr, his last words were oh well I guess I'm golfing the rest of the day!!!

got 47k going into day 2, avg in the lower 30s i believe. I lost with a boat to a royal flush early which knocked me down to 4k but built back up.

good luck matt

Keep us posted Matt, and of course Best of Luck the rest of the way!

$5k Mixed Holdem Day 1



Yesterday was the Mixed holdem event which is 30 minutes limit, then 30 minutes no limit. My opening table was pretty interesting. Barry Greenstein, Amak316, unknown live regular, Devilfish Ulliot, Phil Hellmuth, Lee Markholt, Hoyt Corkins, SCTrojans, unknown foreigner. Pretty sick table. I picked up ATo in the no limit portion in mp and made it 250 to go, Devilfish is the only caller. Flop A Q Q, we both check. Turn A of clubs putting a flush draw out, I bet 500, Devilfish calls. River Jclubs, I bet 1000, Devilfish makes it 6k, I think for about a minute and call really thinking I'm only hoping not to see QQ here and maybe he is just trying a bluff. Instead he has KT of clubs for the ole Royal Flush. The neat 1 outer. That was sick, but what was even sicker is what he said afterwards, he said he called the turn and was going to raise any river as he didnt think I had an ace... bleh. That knocked me down to about 4k. I got moved from that table a bit after to a table where shockingly I only recoginzed two players and that is a female foreign team PokerStars Pro and the other was a younger kid who plays some in Indiana.



I chipped up pretty quickly at this new table, I picked up JJ in the sb with a raise and 2 callers in front at the 75/150 level and put 1500 out there and everyone snapfolded. Called a raise from the sb wiht AJs flopped flush draw got there on turn but didn't get that much out of it. In the limit portion I had been playing very aggressive and it continued when I raised a limper with JTo and got paid on all 3 streets on a T high board which put me back to 10k and in pretty good shape. My only real big hand of the day came up next in the no limit portion. I raised KTs in mp and was called by the player to my left and the bb. The flop came T84 with 2 hearts and I bet about half the pot and was called by both. The turn was another Ten and I bet 60% of the pot and the bb checkraised and I moved in and he tanked and called with JT and I held for a 25k pot. I was moved shortly thereafter.

My new table would appear to be a bit tougher as I had Nenad Medic and David Williams on my left since both are so aggressive. I really didn't play that many interesting hands at this new table as I chipped up pretty much only in the limit portion with constant 3 bets which usually didn't get to showdown. I went from 20k-40k in one 30 minute portion. Antonio Esfindari was on my right and he didn't play very well, at least in the limit portion to which he admitted he didn't really know what he was doing, it seems most of the players don't really know how to correctly play limit, which is why I am definately playing the $10k limit event coming up. I stayed around 35-40k for 2.5 hours or so until the last 15 minutes of the night when I picked up QQ on the button. David Williams raised utg to 1800, young kid makes it 4800, and I make it 16k to go and they both fold. The younge kid said he had TT. The very next hand 2 limpers limped in and I limped with T9s. Flop 766, checked around, turn K checked around, river 8, checked to me I bet 2k and get 2 callers and that was the last hand of the night ending me with 47,000 putting me in 25th with 91 players left. 36 pay which is like $10k and first is almost $400k.

Play starts here in a couple hours, updates can be found at http://www.pokernews.com. Also in a few days I am going to start using

http://www.ftsweat.com/u/mattster24 Currently it is only set up to post online and to post from a browser on your phone which my ancient phone isn't capable of doing but supposebly I will be able to normal text in the next couple of days.

thanx matt good stuff

to have AAAQQ and lose to a royal is crazy....to still be in the tourney after is impressive. Knock out some big names for us.

Down to 63 of 332, but I don't think his stack count has been updated once today on Pokernews.
