pppspecial

Much to my suprise there is going to be a huge overlay with a guarantee off $1,000,000. Today 124 players started and numbers are approx 120 for 2moro giving a 300k+ overlay.
There were 32 players remaining from today with the average being 38k.
I start tommorrow day 1b and quite looking forward to it. played a few cash games and all i can say is wow. the standard off play is disgusting to say the least. playing 100200blinds sat in with 10k left with 30k all pesos in less than an hour.60peso / euro
prizepool was unofficial but it read something like $270,000 for 1st $190,000 for 2nd $110,000etc etc. with 30 prizes announced
will post an update here after 2moros play.

JBet Pro Wakita Lloyd Eliminated In Devastating Fashion

On a flop of 2s4h5s Lloyd bet 200 and was instantly raised to 550 by an unknown opponent. Lloyd then made it 2,200 to go and was amazed when his opponent instant shoved explaining "It is going to cost you your entire stack to call".

Lloyd fired back with "I can't see how you can play 3 6. You only live once, I call".

Lloyd turned over As3d to have his opponent dominated with 9h9d.

The turn was the 9s and when the river came the 2c Lloyd was left shattered and walking to the rail.

yes i was very lucky. pokernews have the bet sizes wrong. just on a lunch break now and sittin on 28675. folded a set when the board 4 flushed.8k pot would have seen me move near chip lead just half hour before break. table is very tight now with the fish gone from the table. 3.84% its still playing on my mind how lucky i got so glad off this break. time to compose myself and start grinding. objective to make day 2.

Take advantage of the luck Dave when it comes your way. Post mortems are for afterwards when you are counting the money. GL

Dave Masters just knocked someone out.

He had pocket Jacks the other player had pocket sixes.

There was 100 chips of a difference so its as close as you can get to a double up, without actually doubling up..

....if that makes sense . Confused
