Ok.... Second hand i am delt i get pocket kings. Guy had raised in front of me to 5k. I reraise to 17k and he calls. Flop comes ace 7 3. And he checks i bet out 12k. He calls turn is a j he checks and bet out 18k. River another totaly uncoordinated card. He checks and bet out 45k. He is in the tank for 2 mins the callls with AQ.
I think he wanted to re-raise.
Slow and steady. Just got the guy back that killed my kimgs. I had A9 hearts. He had aces. Flop was 9 turn was a 9. I am sitting with 190k average is 203k. So still alive.
Ok just before our table broke i got a full double up sitting with 355,000. Blinds are 2000-4000-4000. There are 1800 peeps left.
Have 10 J clubs on the big blind. Everyone folds and the button makes it 11,000. I call the flop is A d 9c 8 c guy bets 24,000 i call. Turn is the Qc i shove all in and say " if you got it you got it" guy snap calls. He had AQ off. Get the full double up and 10 mins later our table is broken.

According to chipcounts that puts you at about 350th. And just noticed, that was a str8 fl?

That was in fact a straight flush. In have been talking with Conrad about that move for 3 months. The over betting the pot if you lockbox into quads or a straight flush. It worked.

Way to go Mike!!! Keep it up!
If you want to get together after you bag, Trigs and I are keeping our schedules open.
1 small complaint about this whole WSOP thing and how they don't give a fuck about any of the recreational players. The chip leader on my last table had a million chips. The reporter came over and asked another WSOP guy if he knew whom he was. Guy answers "he's not a pro don't worry about reporting it. Guy next to me asks me if I heard that..... I shake my head and he says once they got your 10grand they don't give 2 shits.
Kinda sad really. I bet the guy has friends watching for updates .

Don't worry about that, Moneymaker was a rec before he won too... They are going to remember the smurf guy for a long time..
I went over for the start of day 2, and Trigs went this morning. I'm planning to go back for the start of the day 4. I leave tomorrow, so I'm not sure how long I can stay.
Well maybe not, he did just get that str8 flush after a bottle of wine.. Why aren't you guys over there railing him?
I was there at the 12pm start to wish Mike good luck. Witnessed the offical shuffle up and deal which was pretty cool too. Wandered around to see some of the pros still playing. Pretty cool seeing Scotty Nguyen, Johnny Chan, etc.
I will also be there tomorrow as I'm playing the 1am deepstack.
Ok, lost a fair sized pot. I had AK off in the big blind. Everyone folds. Small blind raised to 15k I call. Flop is A72 rainbow. Small blind bets 20k I call, turn is J now there are 2 hearts and guy bets 20k again. I call. River is another 2 and flush doesn't get there. Guy bets 50k I think I am beating everything except pocket jacks , can't imagine raising a 2 from small blind . Anyways he had A2 SPADES. Lost a ton.

Geeez... I must have been drunk as fuck.
Although that is the proper markup for me
I think he wanted to re-raise.
Still a decent M of 24. Patience is your friend.
Mike McDonald doesn't have a smurf. Goooooo Pimp!!!! I call final table cheering section if you rent a plane!!!
