Qualified for the WSOP again!!! (Boast thread!)

loosecannon

Hi all,

Sorry for posting this in the main thread but i want to shout it from the hilltops!! I got my seat with Ladbrokes into the WSOP 2007 tonight and i'm well chuffed

It was a 16 runner event with $1,400 in and therefore just the 1 seat with cash for 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I was short stacked almost the entire way through but i managed to hang on and claw into the last 4 with a reasonable (but still the shortest) stack! There was a very agressive Irish guy from sligo who had well over half the chips with 6 to go but he threw them all away and i knocked him out to get heads up...

I had roughly 28,000 to his 15,000 and he was playing quite aggressively, he made a raise with the button to 2,400 (blinds 400/800) and i look down at A5 of diamonds, i decide to push (comments??) trying to take it down there and then, knowing that my image was very solid.

He insta calls with QQ! and the board was as follow

8 5 2 on flop

10 on turn

A on river (you beauty!)

so i sucked on on him, but i still would have had 14k left to play heads up with him...

anyway well chuffed to be going back, love it more every time i'm there, this will be my third year in a row in the wsop (6th time to vegas) and i'm looking forward to hanging out with all you lads again

Tom and Mike, you better be ready lads!!!!

Can't wait

Just home from a night on the beer, nice to see the boardsies starting early on their attempts to assault vegas once again.

Congrats!

Nice one Andrew. Btw are you still in sydney at the moment? If so we should meet up.

loosecannon

I played one of their daily finals for $100 last week and won that, so it's a great return on that

only slight problem was that i'm down in oz doing a bit of travelling at the moment and it was on at 8.30pm Irish time which is 5.30am over here so i didn't exactly get much sleep and i'm still absolutely buzzing here!

look forward to hearing of more of ye winning qualifiers

Well done and good luck in vegas, nice to get it out of the way

Mr.Plough

question:

can you still play for a wsop ticket if your under 21? will they still give you package once they find out your underage?

could just sell it off like

why not just play a Muti-table tournament with 10K first prize? or $1000 SnGs?

I'm tempted to wish you bad luck and ask what the hell you are telling us for, just to be different from all the fawners, but I'm not that cruel.

Well done, and I hope to be over there too. Congrats (and I do mean that), it is some achievement qualifying on the cheap 3 years on the trot.

i was thinking the exact same thing myself! but i had a chat to him after as i play quite a bit of omaha cash games with him on that site and he took it very well and wished me gl

he said that if it was for the package (i still would have been 2:1 underdog in chips if the QQ held) that it would have hurt more!

thanks for all the good wishes and i'm hoping to see a lot of you in vegas come June/July
