My Sixth Cash
I must be one of the leaders with six cashes at the WSOP. I have been very consistent all the way through, but I have been struggling with the last 10% of the field.
Today, I beat Matusow for a last longer, I got $2,100 to his $2,000 because he had a few more chips than I did. But, I ripped him apart again today, this is like the fourth time in a row I have outclassed him at the table – the last time being the bad boys.
Our key hand was 10 10 for me, and AK for him. I made a raise, and he re-raised – I moved all in. The flop was 10 6 8, and he was pretty much drawing dead on the flop. Mike is a good guy, I really like him. He has a good heart, and he is a great player. I would say he is a friend, and is becoming really good in his life, which is nice to see considering where he was a while back. He is turning into a good example for everyone. But, when he comes up against me at the poker table, I want to crush him. I did again today – I won most of the pots I played against him.
I’m at 62,800, well above average. There are about 60 players left. Phil Hellmuth is still around. I really want to get onto his table, and crush him. I love to play against him – I want to take everything he has.
But, its been a wild day for me, considering I was down to 450 chips, and by far the short stack in the tournament. To fight back from that to having the 16th biggest stack just feels great. This is one of the best poker days I have had in my life. I am really pleased, considering how bad it was early. Just shows you, you can come back from now where, and have a stack.
I don’t like rebuys, it’s a bit disgusting. I’m in for $13,000, but with winning the last longers, some of my costs have come back to me. See you tomorrow.

Tony, thanks for posting so often in your blog! It’s really cool to hear about your experiences. Congratulations on playing so well and all the tournaments you’ve finished in the money in.
Best of luck with the rest of the tournament and congratulations also on coming in second on the intercontinental tournament, you played really well.
Best of luck with the rest of the WSOP!

I hear ya with the re-buys… I played in the Tony G morning $500 re-buy tourney today, and it felt a bit unfair with everyone apart from me constantly buying more chips. But I hope you get to bust Hellmuth. I like Phil, but I can’t think of anything that would be more satisfying than taking all of his chips and sending him into a strop. Also, don’t worry about the drinking… people love watching Tony G playing drunk poker.

I agree with Ryan… it’s been a treat to read your entries every day. I know writing in your blog probably isn’t the first thing you want to do as soon as bust out of a tournament. Or perhaps it is! In either case, thanks.
With the fields being as huge as they are in the WSOP your amount of cashes is a pretty impressive feat all on its own. Hopefully you will survive the horrendous beats and make it to the final table in this event.

Tony:
GL in the tourney. I would love to see you and Phil at the final table. The dialogue would be priceless. What is your starting day for the ME? I’m heading out there Thursday and hope I get to say hello.

YOU ARE CORRECT IN YOUR OPINION ABOUT MIKE THE MOUTH IDEALT TO HIM FOR FIVE YEARS BEFORE HE GOT HIS LIFE TOGEATHER AND HE WAS A GOOD GUY THEN, HE NEVER FORGOT WHERE HE CAME FROM AND NEVER BLAMES THE DEALER WHATEVER HAPPENS AND HE HAS HAD ALOT HAPPEN.I HOPE YOU BOTH MAKE THE FINAL TABLE IN THE BIG ONE. GOOD LUCK
