He probably saw Peter Eastgate's bracelet sell for over $140K dorrars and set his reserve price way too high.

Wrong Brad Daugherty. (this also goes for the Cav's fans lol)

There is a Main Event Bracelet for sale on EBay. Was hoping someone could tell me how often they come up for sale and how much they normally sell for? I have not been following poker very long, but it would seem Main Event bracelets are not for sale very often. Thanks for the help.

Greatest poker story of all time, from bradpoker.com:

"At the final table Brad Daugherty was sitting with:

K

While Don Holt had a weak hand:

7

So Don limped in. Brad raised it to $75,000. Then Don made a mistake. He called. The flop came:

8

It gave Brad top pair with a King kicker. But Don got nothing from the flop. Brad checked and then Don moved all in… without a hand… He thought that when Brad checked the flop that he didn't have anything. Anyway – Brad called. The turn brought only the 5

. It gave Don a faint hope… But the 8

on the river made him say good-buy to all his hopes:

8

And Brad said ‘hello’ to the title of 1991 World's Champion of Poker and $1,000,000."

"Tournament Tips"

Quote:

Want to improve your end game? Want to build your level of experience in playing final tables? Want to learn how to 'close the deal' and win an event? Play a single table satellite! And when you do, pretend you are at the final table of the World Championship. Remember, every chip is precious. Playing single-table tournaments is great practice for the end game of multi-table tournaments. The strategies are very similar; with the biggest difference being single-table tournaments usually take less than an hour to play, where the multi-table tournaments take over 4 hours to play.
A good basic strategy for the single-table tournaments is to play solid, playing only premium hands in the first three rounds. After that, open up and play more hands, becoming more aggressive the higher the blinds get, and the shorter handed the tournament becomes.
Be a bettor, not a caller. Remember, the bettor has two chances to win, the first being you might be able to show down the best hand, and secondly, if everyone folds, you win an uncontested pot!
When your chip stack gets less than five times the size of the big blind in a no-limit single-table tournament or a multi-table tournament, consider moving all in with any two cards as long as you are the first one in the pot. In these situations you are just betting that no one has a hand that they can call you with. If you do get called and have the worst hand, you might get lucky and draw out on them. If you aren't the first one in, you are joining a pot with automatic competition.
In the late stages when you have a large stack of chips and it's one or two spots from the money, it's easy to rob players that are desperately trying to make the money. Play more aggressive in that spot, reduce your starting requirements, and pick up some extra chips!
When you have an opponent who is overly aggressive, use it against them. Let them think you have a weak hand when you really have a strong one. Check into them so they will bet. You will then have the option to checkraise and take advantage of their aggressiveness. In the case of a real monster, check it a second time, and then pop it up!
Play Real Money games to practice for the early rounds of multi-table tournaments. The play here is very close to the same because you aren't under pressure from the blinds. So play real money games anytime you have the time to improve your play for the early rounds. Play solid poker.
Have a game plan for your tournament. Decide if you are going to start out playing tight in the early rounds, or if are you going to play fast and try to accumulate chips early. Consider adjustments you might make if you get short of chips, if you get a large stack, or how you might adjust to different types of opponents styles. Be prepared for everything!
When you are playing, always observe your opponents and pick out who will and who wont, defend the blinds. The higher the blinds get, the more valuable this information becomes. Remember the tight players are easier to rob. Be ready to take advantage of them.
Saved the best for last. Play your own tournament! That's right, your own little event that starts and ends when you want. You are the tournament director and can play any form of poker you'd like. Sit in the smallest game you can find. The rounds are 20, 30, 40 minutes, anything you want, so set an alarm clock. When the clock goes off, you must get up and move to the next highest game. Keep going and see how much you can accumulate and how far you can go. Get to the biggest game and you win the trophy. Of course, in this tournament, you can quit at any time and cash in your checkers. Good Luck! By the way, I know a guy who ran up a $100 buy-in into $17,000 one night at the Taj. How cool is that!

According to his Hendon Mob page, which he links to, he had an 11 year poker career (maybe longer, but no cashes pre 1987 or post 2008) with no 6-figure scores.

When I started playing I read his book in 2005 I think ( I was reading everything then). Even though I'd played several small live tournaments, I had no clue about betting in NL tournaments so was always out early. Right after I read it, I played again and changed the way I bet.

Cashed for $540. Good book!

Now I just look back and LOL at the book and myself.
