Miserable fizzle out endings to WCOOP
Created By: Jason Mercier Posted in: Jason Mercier Poker Blog, The Online Grind
While I wait in the Miami International Airport to board my flight to London, I'm reflecting back on the last few days of WCOOP. I made a few deep runs that all ended in pretty much the same fashion, losing a massive pot to bust.
Let's just start off by mentioning on the very next day after finishing 11th, 11th, and 27th in three straight 2 pm 109$ rebuys on stars, I managed to get 11th ONE MORE TIME!
On this same day, I got 3rd in a 109 cubed turbo for 10k and also made a deep run in the 215 plo8 2nd chance wcoop and the Wednesday Quarter Million, but busted in 24th and 29th place.
The following day, Thursday, I went deep in the WCOOP 530 rebuy, but lost a big flip to bust in 26th place. On Friday, I just played the two WCOOP events and was fairly deep in the 530 cubed, but came up short of the money. I decided to take off Saturday, and prepare for my big day on Sunday.
Sunday was a really long grind, starting at 1 pm with the 215 WCOOP, which by the way, Elky won! That's a whole different topic, but he has to be considered the best NLHE tournament player in the world. HAS TO BE! Mad respect!
Anyways, I played all the WCOOPs and 2nd chance events and the big rebuy events and such. I really was regretting jumping in the 1k 2nd chance WCOOP event which started at 8 pm when I had busted everything else by 9:30.
I was mad that this tourney had such a slow structure and I could potentially end up playing until 5 am. That's just what I did too, I finished day 1 of this 2 day event 4th in chips with 38 people left and finally was able to go to sleep at 5:15 in the morning.
The restart of this event was at 8 pm, and I was looking forward to it. It took only 15 minutes for me to pittz away my chips playing a very very unnecessary pot, in which I was luckily in a coin flip for over 225 bbs.
I whiffed and was left with 4 bbs and was out a few hands later. It was a miserable end to what I was hoping to be a very big WCOOP for me.
No worries though, London's going to be HUGE! I'm boarding my plane now, when I land I will have 3 hours to get over to WSOPE for the 5k pound PLO event, which I FTed last year.
Yessssir! Later!
