Man, what a depressing ending. I ended up busting 7th in another WPT event, this time at the Legends event here in LA, and it really just sucks the ass of a goat. There just isn't any other way to say it.
I really fought my ass off all tournament, and was really actually proud of how I played all week...
In the end I just couldn't get a couple of hands to hold up. I held 10
10
against David Pham's A
9
in a 2.5 million chip pot late, but he was able to spike an Ace on the flop to win that one.
Then, on the hand to send me out in 7th, I picked up QQ and brought it in for my normal raise. Tom Schneider reraised me and I shoved the rest in. He called pretty quickly and turned up his AJ. I survived the flop when it came all babies, but unfortunately for me the turn delivered the A to end my day.
Man, I just don't know what to say. I am so depressed by all of these bubbles recently. I keep feeling like my big breakthrough is here...just to let it slip away at the last second. Blech...
Eh, what can you do? Life ain't all bad. I'll be smiles again in a few days. I'm heading up to San Francisco tomorrow to hang with my old college friends and go to the Cal/Tennessee game in Berkeley, so how bad can it be?
Thanks to everyone for all of the support. You guys have, and always are, amazing, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I promise to deliver you something to really cheer for one of these days...
Also, once again, www.thepokerroad.com is getting closer to becoming a reality...so STAY TUNED...it's gonna be so sick!
peace,
