I am fairly confident that I am going to FT this event.

Anyone else playing this stupid game?

It's stupid games all the way in from here .. bored with NL. So yes.

Busto AA26 < AKJ9 all in on J63 flop

OK so this egg has already tripled up with KQT4, committed pre-flop with no business putting a single chip in the pot. Then a hand comes up, I raise with AKK8dd, Julian Gardner calls and the egg calls. It comes AT8dd, good enough for me to go all in for virtually the pot (4K). Julian goes over the top for another 5K or so, and the egg tanks and calls.

Julian basically has 23, I think with a 5 as well, and this other ****wit has A349. It comes a 2 on the turn to give him the low, and a 9 on the river for the high.

All this in a tournament with tons of players going “I has two pair only and the low’s just hit - pot !” and “Set = I has the nuts”. sdlkfjsdnfcxkcjvhiosdhfsajdncmv.

i have 35k for tomorrow.

My second table today (last three levels) had some of the most insane riverings I've ever seen. Every big pot the guy who should have gotten quartered got three-quarters, or someone hit a three-outer to chop. I was involved in a few, got the worst end of most but my favorite was -

I called a raise with AK35 with clubs, flopped 843 all clubs. I check he checks behind. Turn Tc, I check again (!), he pots, I repot basically allin, he calls (w/ A2), and I bink a duece.

Sick Andy; this is easily the softest field of the series, no matter what anyone says about razz, because there they can only spew off one chip at a time.

19.9K. gl to anyone else still in.....frustrating seeing someone who doesnt know how to play PLO let alone PLO8 have almost 100K in chips.

gl tom!

12 left with Tom in the lead. This final table also gets the ESPN360 treatment, which means it's gonna be hilarious watching the commentary of this one.

Edit: 11 left, Tom at 460k (if Pokernews chip counts are correct).

2nd edit: Seidel now chip leader, Tom in 2nd.

I had high hopes for this. Bever got off the ground despite a weak table; couple bad 3 quarterings and then eventually busto.
