Qualified for the WSOP again!!



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
