day two of the monster stack should be in the morning about an hour we have 55
blinds to work with to find balance between trying to abuse the scared money
short stacks on the bubble and surviving to secure that min cash not getting in
too much trouble my partner's playing elsewhere so it's
all on me no breaks I'm gonna have to run to the bathroom every couple hours
missed a few hands but that's okay we're gonna make up for it with great
decisions thin value bets and world-class lay downs
let's solidify our chip stack to go into day three strong and make our first
World Series of Poker final table we are here with Hilary from your the vlog has
some goodies for me right Tag Team day to restart
we got a viewer the vlog named Ken good luck Jeff thank you sir and we have the
ladies what bring them out bring them out bring a mouse bring them out it's
hard they yell when the bed rails in your mouth well with blinds at 800 1600
were a few people away from the money bubble a miserable-looking grinder who
happens to be a a Guido I don't know if that's the derogatory term but that's
what I was told he is so let's go with that it's been very active he opens the
middle position to 4500 I'm in the small blind with 55,000 and pocket sevens it
is a profitable Jam here but with the money bubble a few people away I think
it's best to call and see a flop big blinds very short he's not gonna do
anything crazy so I call the flop comes Queen six before once paid to hearts I
check and he checks when he checks back I know he has a marginal hand he doesn't
have a pure Bluff he could have a lot of ace high combos stuff like that the turn
brings a three of spades and I want to bet for valiant protection so I bet 5500
and he puts in the call the rivers the jack of spades being bringing the
backdoor spades I do have the seven of spades I don't think there's much value
in betting so we put in the check and he bets 18,000 not for our tournament life
but what do we really beat here what hands can call on the turn and then
turned into a bluff on the river I think he checked back all of his jack ax
combos 4x 6x stuff like that so we tank and fold he shows the ace of spades I
say you weren't bluffing just to get him to show the other card
and of course and is true we go fashion he shows the forth quotes
so he did turn his pair into a bluff and he immediately starts rapidly texting
his friend that he pulled a big bluff on me as soon as the hand completes hand
for hand is declared I immediately go to the bathroom because it's been two and a
half hours and my partner's at the wind and I come back without missing a hand
and we are now in the money that's an official World Series of Poker cash
let's make the final table
after the bubble burst I've chipped up without Show down from fifty thousand to
about a hundred thousand some well time three bets a few raised and take its
everybody's playing pretty ABC I still think the fear of Boston and having to
tell your partner how you busted or how you messed up a hand is looming in most
players minds so we're gonna use that to our advantage
I'm under the gun plus one at twelve hundred twenty four hundred four hundred
ante and I based King off suit raise it up to my standard 5502 chips player
under the gun plus three quickly three bets to sixteen thousand two hundred I
am a little scared based on timing till I have on him usually tank means weak
quick means strong he's got about a hundred and forty thousand to start the
hand action folds back to me ace king nine handed facing a three but I don't
like it but I think I I just got to go for it I don't want to flat I don't want
to fold so I'm all-in he snapped calls and he shows pocket queens the flop
comes King King deuce the turn in river are bricks and we get the full double
about two hundred and twenty thousand here's the video
see the c32 Tom Shannon
throughout the Rio on in my twenty minute cholera break only break of the
day and we ran into a viewer the vlog Trey from Arizona it's like it's great
to meet you Trey you're looking with blinds at fifteen hundred three thousand
out of the gun shoves 13,800 action folds to us in the big blind we have
Queen four suited we call he shows Jack aid off suit and he wins I noticed this
player has rainbow painted fingernails good for him
deep Peters is now in the big blinds action folds to us on the button one
fifteen hundred three thousand of King Jack offsuit make it seven thousand
rainbow fingernails in the small blind snap jams twenty eight thousand deep
eaters folds and I put in the cycle I know he's strong but I can't raise call
King Jack off with these positions he shows the worst possible hand I could
ever imagine of course that's two black kings the board runs out all bricks and
I double him up again rainbow painted fingernails 50-year old Caucasian male
these are the people I lose to but it's okay I just tagged Steven he's here for
ten minutes on his dinner break he picks up Kings first hand and wins forty
thousand ships
names Robert Nicola from a later campaign token for about five years with
blinds at two thousand four thousand an Asian male age 21 to 50 subs all in from
middle position for fifty two thousand folds to me in the small blind have a
two hundred case that I can pocket nines not too much thought here we got to get
it in should be ahead of his range with the dead money in there let's gamble I
saw big blindfolds asian male shows pocket queens it's all good we're still
got twenty percent the flop comes King eight for the turn is a queen and his
rail of Asian guys goes crazy and starts doing some karaoke or some shit
and we now have a hundred and fifty thousand with wines at two thousand four
thousands and the middle position with ten eight of diamonds sorry Rick raise
it up to nine thousand action folds the small blind who makes it fifteen
thousand misclick aces big blind folds he is about 120,000 behind I think about
jamming for a second but we could we could play a flop in position putting
the call flop comes King eight seven with the eight seven of hurts he checks
maybe he's giving up maybe he's got pocket kings I'll check
behind turns off suit three and now he bets out
22,000 our mid bears 2-under up to fold now so we call the river is a seven and
he bets out 25,000 I put in the call and he looks at me and says nice hand I'm
waiting for him to buck and he eventually turns over his hand and shows
pocket tens i muck and I say what do you mean nice hand he says oh I thought you
had a king so our opponent didn't know if he was value Betty or bluffing and
that pot will take us down to close to a hundred thousand ships blue blinds at
twenty-five hundred 5k the gentleman that's constantly yelling in Arabic to
his rail teammate makes it ten thousand on the
button we're in the small blind with ace king offsuit in ninety thousand
slam-dunk Jam all in big blind folds and he puts in the call we show our ace king
he shows East 9 offsuit nine of Hearts Bob combs Jack
five five two hearts turn as a six of hearts and the river is a three of
diamonds he does not his flush and we double up with blinds at three thousand
six thousand I have two hundred thousand and chips
Steve texted me that he's busted the wind getting set over set for a two
hundred and thirty k pot he's not happy but he wants to come play
he knows I'm tired so I'm gonna let him play let's see what Steve can do steve
assures me that he's not tilted and he's feeling great so I got trusted my friend
if he punted off so be it I trust his lines and reads this handy raises it up
from the button the big blind calls bets twelve K on the flop 37k on the turn
and then he shoves all in on the river and we have some footage
after the big wine folds Steve lets me know that he had the four six of hearts
and was going for big value unlucky we couldn't get it but that's okay
