WSOP Update 2

George and Pete after registering for the WSOP. 

After beginning Day 2 with a little north of $49k chips, George was able to build his stack during the early portion of the day. However, the cards turned against him after the first break and he busted just short of the money.

Although he didn't cash, what a great run in a tough tournament. Congratulations George!

WSOP Update

George and I both entered the same tournament (#39, Super Seniors). Although there are hundreds of tables spread across multiple rooms, we started at tables that were right next to each other.

I was moved to another table a couple hours into the tournament and later George was moved to another room.

After the dinner break (6 hours in), I was moved to another room and once again was seated at a table right next to George's.

What are the odds?

We both had around $40k late into the night. A lady to my right went all-in for $22k with A-9 and I called her with A-K. I was a big favorite, but the A-4-9 flop did me in and dropped my stack to $18k.

About 30 minutes later during the final level of the night, I pushed with A-Q and was called by the biggest stack at the table. He turned over 9-9. I lost the flip and was eliminated.

I haven't talked with George about any significant hands he played, but he did survive to play on Day 2, which is a huge accomplishment!

He has $49k chips and is currently in 466th place (just a few below actor James Woods). There are around 850 players left, but a lot of them are extremely short-stacked and should go out in short order. The tournament pays 398 players, with the minimum cash being $1500. First place is $360k.

Go George...and good luck!
