and the winner of the Twitter retweet day-in-the-life
contest is nick pappagiorgio took Nick to my famous foot spa how'd you like it
9 out of 10 only because the ceiling was about ready to fall in but we'll get a 9
out of 10 but it didn't fall it nope so 10 out of 10 now let's go to rollin
smoke and get some great barbecue yeah
the World Series of Poker $10,000 main event day 2 we bagged up 90,000 coming
back to a pretty good table draw overall but we happen to have the worst C
possible with the two most accomplished players in seat six and seven when I'm
in seat five so we're gonna open a little tighter but call the Recreational
is a little looser still gonna stick with our no three bet strategy unless
absolutely necessary small ball survival slow and steady accumulation is the goal
my intention is to bag 200,000 it's bagged and tagged with blinds at 300 600
of the 100 ante under the gun raises it to 1400 I'm in the cutoff with pocket
aces the best hand ever created we're gonna stick with the zero percent three
bet game plan and just trap these fools especially like this spot because of the
strength of the under the gun raised and the two most aggressive and seasoned
pros on my left so I put in the 1400 Triple Draw champion on the button makes
it 4,800 off of a 28k stack action folds to the under the gun player and he makes
it 15,000 I can't believe this situations working out I can't believe
about a five aces the question is should I just flat or should I shove all in and
look discouraged try to pick up the alleged pot I decided a show of looks
best I could rep like ace king Jack's queen something like that so I show up
all in having them both covered under the gun started the hand with 50,000
button puts in the call under the gun looks very perturbed and folds which he
later claims his pocket jacks the flop comes jack
and he curses his luck the turn is a four and the river is a nine the button
says yes slaps his hands together and wins seventy some thousand chip pot we
now have just over fifty thousand with blinds at 300 600 I'm under the gun with
ace queen of clubs make it 1300 old recreational calls and other player
calls in the cutoff and the button an accomplice German GTO bot makes it six
thousand I have 47,000 to start the hand I think jamming will be a little bit too
much folding will be a little too weak but calling is just right we put in the
call old guy folds and cut off calls the flop comes Queen 9 for one club I check
cut off check button bets 10000 with 40,000 behind think our options are call
or Jam I don't really want to continue the hand out of position against a
competent German a lot of bad run outs King Jack 10 all scare cards so I shove
all in for 40,000 putting my main event life at risk the cutoff tanks and
eventually folds jacks and the German snap calls he shows ace Queen off suit
we have a free roll the turn is a brick and the rivers of brick and we chop it
up slight profit
with blinds at 300 600 100 ansi action folds to me in the cutoff I looked down
and to black Kings and make it 1,300 the button the villain with the Queen Queen
that double up earlier three bets to 4500 I started this hand with 50000 and
I'm licking my chops we're gonna stay aggressive and really
put the pressure on this probably wide button 3 bet so I make it 13,000 he
thinks for a while and puts in the call thinking no ace on the flop let's get it
in the flop comes five five deuce rainbow I bet a meager 10,000 setting up
a turn jam he puts in the call he's gonna continue with all of his pocket
pairs here maybe even some ace highs the turn is an off suit Queen
I have 27,000 behind and I shove all in hopefully he'll call us off with ace
Queen pocket jacks pocket 10 something like that he puts in the call and he
shows pocket aces the rivers of brick and we are out of the World Series of
Poker $10,000 main event once again extending my record to over
13 feels good to run good in the most important event of the year
see you guys next time
well Jeff sadly your record is still improving over 13 another year another
$10,000 contributed to the Main Event champion the devastation is palpable
the brutal journey to get to day two becomes unwarranted on I met a loss for
words but you know sometimes just not meant to be I played great and that's
all I can do you are starting today with like a 90k stack and what happened
yeah 90k 150 blinds to start the day it's going with a real small ball
approach just waiting for premium hands no blocking I'm a horrible bluffer I've
learned from the past no more bluffing so I picked up aces
flatted arrays got the squeeze I wanted got the for bed I wanted my five bedroom
I got the call from Queens got the fold from Jax the rivers the straight you
know bad beat whatever trapped him good for 70,000 so there goes half my stack
and then the same guy that had the Queens got me with aces verse my Kings
cut offers button and just unavoidable that's broken
in case you guys didn't know this is the one the only
Kevin Mathers but everyone knows me has kept Matt on Twitter so if you're not
follow me on Twitter you know you're probably Jeff you know follow me on
Twitter it as well you know I provide all sorts of Poker information for the
masses and all sorts of answer pretty much every question people ask me even
the ones that they ask me need repeatedly I also ask answer every time
cap math is the man behind the World Series of Poker Twitter account so any
questions you ask or tweet at WSOP he handles every single one of them
probably close to 10,000 this summer if I said about right that sounds about
right I mean I don't answer every I mean I'm
not answering and all the tweets are not from me
there's I would say 98% or might come from me but there's a couple are people
but I try to answer all the easy questions and I'll let someone else
answer the hard stuff his service is invaluable he works very hard at all
hours of the night he'll usually respond in a few minutes
DM him follow him and you know I'm not asking for donations but if you just
give him a dollar per question ask that's 10,000 more dollars in his pocket
he could play the main event every year or just eat like a king every night
because he works okay I look like I eat like a king though I don't you got to
enjoy the pleasures of life yes that's
true I appreciate that we appreciate what you
do keV math make sure you follow him on Twitter at Kevin WSOP calm during the
summer and say hi when you see him in the hallway he's always here the other
thing that hurts about busting the mane is having to text 10 to 20 people to let
them know that you're no longer in your friends family investors they're all
rooting for you and you gotta tell them the bad news
I guess it would hurt worse if I felt I played bad but played tight aggressive
not too out of line and that's all you can really do at the end of the day so
let's go get some Lotus of Siam and enjoy life a little bit
Destinee think things can't get any worse my air conditioning stops blowing
cold air
it's 113 degrees out
doing the drive of shame so we're doing a detour to the dealership so they can
get this shit fixed
