Event #73 - $10,000 Main Event No-Limit Holdem Championship · 07/04/2019 @ 12:00pm

Nobody brought the summertime hits like “WSOP cmoney”.

Another 100 places on the board and you will fill that void, Druff.


Thanking you in advance.

Good luck

Best of luck today Sir! You got this. It's OPA! time for PFA

Good luck & play well & the chips will take care of themselves.

Got one of the better table draws of Day 5 (I had a terrible table for most of yesterday), but sadly it's breaking soon. #pfa73

All crap hands so far (except my bracelet Td7d hand which sadly I had to fold), but 3 people did just bust, to ensure I get paid over $38k for this marathon. #pfa73

Just lost two hands against Daniel Hachem where I almost shoved pre and might have won both if I did. Instead I'm down to 693k #pfa73

Table broke & Hachem told me he had AA in the second hand. Now I'm glad I didn't shove at any point! I believe him. #pfa73

All in pre on final hand before break with KK. Big stack calls, shows QQ. Safe runout, up to 1.5m with something like 295 left. Back to life. #pfa73

Look at these giant 500k chips in the Main. Doesn't even look real. (I wish this was my stack but it sadly isn't.)

This "dinner break" is so stupid. Just hanging out until 4:30 when we return. I think like 261 left, I have 1.285m #pfa73

To address some concern by railbirds, no I am not "playing the pay jumps". However, it's worth noting that I won't be walking away with less than $50k for my efforts, as with 225 left, we now get $50,855 minimum. I have about 1.7m. #pfa73

some perspective: at this level blinds are 20/40 thousand; thus Druff has about 40-45 big blinds

next level is 25/50 per pokernews webpage

It'll be a good problem to have, but today is scheduled to be a looooong day. In addition to various BS ESPN breaks, we play 11 hours of actual poker. It's 7:15pm and we have over 5.5 hours left of play. I have 1.6m, 192 left #pfa73

Another dumb break out of nowhere. At this rate, all Day 5 survivors will get 2 hours of sleep.

We return at 8pm with well over 5 full hours of poker to play, projected to finish around 2am. If the breaks return to normal. I have 1.51m. 183 left. #pfa73

For those wondering, I do have 100% of myself in this event, as I do every year. Still working to best my 2010 finish of 88th out of 7319. #pfa73

Druff is no longer self reporting thru the My Stack app?

Price of poker just went up again, 25k/50k/50k blinds. I have 1.4m, and very card dead. But as I only have 28BB now, a move might very well happen soon. 178 left #pfa73

Down to 970k from a combo of blinding out and missing the few flops I've seen. 164 left, about 30% of average now. Need some help from the deck! #pfa73

Friends, whatever happens here, it was a nice experience and nice run. When I was experiencing my issues last year, I thought I may never play again. To come back to the WSOP after that and run deep in the Main has been great. #pfa73

No fear of the 9k pay jump bubble! Shoved all in on an early raiser. He folded. I still only have 1m #pfa73

But the pay jump bubble is real. People stalling, nobody busted in like 25 min, it's insane. No other bubble other than the first one was like this. #pfa73

Never seen a pay jump bubble like this. I was the only short stack in the room with the balls to shove it in. Took 35 min to go from 163 to 162. Anyway, $59,265 guaranteed now, which will be my result unless I make final 99. #pfa73

Hijack opened to 100k, cutoff flatted, I ripped in 945k. Hijack was annoyed and folded, later saying he had a "good pair". Cutoff thought a long time and tossed it. I have 1.25m, 158 left #pfa73

Limped by 2 people, I have QQ in SB, all in, BB folds, limped snap calls, other folds. Limper has AA? No, AK! Weird. A flops, I pick up diamond draw on turn but miss. Limper slightly shorter than me so I'm barely alive with 135k #pfa73

270k, folded to me in hijack. Have T8o which isn't a good all in hand but hoping to just take blinds 30/60/60, plus I have ok chance against anything not pocket pair 88+. Unfortunately cutoff has aces and I'm drawing dead on Q775 board. Out 128th, $59,265.

While I realize that big money was just over the horizon with a little rungood, I also realize that I never touched 2m in chips and only had one good run-up all event -- in early Day 2! So 128th ain't too shabby. "I did what I could!" (1/2) #pfa73

This one was eerily similar to my 2010 88th place Main, also lacking any runs after mid Day 2, also having another short stack cripple me AK > QQ. I'm 9 years older & have a little gray hair now, but I'll take a swipe at this in the 2020s. Appreciated supporters so much! #pfa73
