Druff Event #44 June 24 $1000 NL Holdem

Due to Druff going out on Day One of the previous event, he signed up for this event.

Druff flopped a set in the 2nd hour, shipped it against 2 players who flopped the nut straight and one munchkin who flopped middle straight. Turn gave everyone but Druff a better straight and river bricked to cripple Druff.

Final place not recorded.

Event #48 June 26 $3000 Limit Holdem

Official PFA twitter thread: http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...0-Limit-Holdem

As has been the theme this year for Druff, good starts, absolutely cold wave of cards, get stuck, have a sweet rally, get frozen and struggle back.

Druff unfortunately busted 20 minutes before the end of Day One.

Official PFA twitter thread: http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...Only-NL-Holdem

Thanks, zealand.

Event #53 was a little disappointing, but at least I got the no-cash monkey off my back.

Funny how that one wasn't on your list to vote on!

No worries, I tried to pick events you had done well in previously, and a nice range of buyins.
Kind of surprised no one picked "other". Just glad it didnt turn out to be some sort of PFA curse.

Druff played the Event "Bracelet Bounty" July 6 $560 NL Holdem.

Official PFA twitter feed http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...-560-NL-Holdem

Druff's views on the event are here: http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...s-full-of-fail

This event was not a bracelet event, and sounds like first time run at WSOP.
The concept was that if anyone knocked out a WSOP Bracelet winner, they would collect $500 which adds some value.
Oddly it was listed as a 1 day event, and Druff figured players would play looser against him to try and clip the bounty.

Final placing not recorded (nor number of entrants at this stage).

Druff did state he enjoyed the novelty of the "Ante-up" event he played earlier this WSOP, unclear if he will play this event next year if its offered.

Event #61 July 7 $10000 NL Holdem Main Event

Official PFA twitter thread: http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...dem-Main-Event
Official PFA rail thread: http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...cussion-thread

To get the "best placing" Druff would need a final 2 table appearance. For best cashing, Druff just needs a min cash, and for best ROI Druff needs roughly $32k which is 300th or better.

Druff started on Day 1b and was struck by Harrahs "We promise we'll do worse next year" shenanigans.
Fortunately it only cost him 150 chips off his 30k start stack, and after a long day of battling Druff ended up with a respectable 105k.

Druff returns on Day 2a (Tuesday July 10th)

Druff's Day 2 was ultimately disappointing for him, with him missing 3 big draws and ending up with a below average stack.

Day 3 brough Black aces for Druff which broke him in a hand that he regrets how he played it.
