It took a couple miracle river cards and I have made my first final table at the WSOP. †I am really excited because it is an ESPN aired tournament and it is a stacked final table with all pros. †The other players are Erick Lindgren, Howard Lederer, Justin Bonomo, Roland DeWolfe, David Williams, Chino, and Isaac Haxton.
†
The road to the final table was a lot of fun and one hell of a rollercoaster. I was super shortstacked a few times and also close to chiplead as well.
With about 25 players left I was moved directly to the left of Patrik Anotonius. †Patrik final tabled the first event and was close to the chip lead in this tournament. †Patrik is one of the most well respected players out there and one of my favorites. We have played before in a cash game in Bobby’s Room a few weeks ago. I managed to double up against him in a huge pot when I had QQ and then a few hands later returned the favor and doubled him up.
I knocked out Chau Giang when we were 11 handed. I hit a miracle river card and couldn’t help myself and said “ship it.”
I am going into the final table as a shortstack, but a quick double up or two and I can make something happen.
