Well there is still the main event!!

To make a long story short. I am out of the 5k event. I did not play many hands and took advantage of the ones I did. I lost a big pot with flopping top set to a river flush which took a big percentage of my starting stack. The last hand and the one that I went out on was as follows. The players folded all the way around to mean in the cut-off position; I raised to 700 with A5 of spades, the button and small blind both folded. and the big blind called. The flop came 56K the player checked and I bet out 1700 into a 1400 pot and he called. The turn came a 3 which if he had 47 would have a straight but pretty horrible call preflop and flop if he did. He checked and I checked, now the river came an Ace and that is where it got interesting. He bet out 4000 which was enough to put me all in. Now I have two pair and I called. well he turned over 33 for three 3s and I was sent to the rail. Such a weird hand for him to call both preflop and flop as he had only 2 outs on the flop... CRAZY!

Well we have the main event still which should have a first prize of over 1 million dollars.

Until next event..

Hey Jason,
Just found this web site. Been following your progress. Good luck in the main event. What are your plans after Legends. Would love to hook up for a beer and chat when you are back in town.
