mixed start at the Muck
by huge on Sep.11, 2011, under Poker
We’re 2/3 through the Muckleshoot Summer Classic series, with the main event ($1000 buyin) tomorrow. I had a good run yesterday in the $300 event, ultimately finishing 13th out of 252 players for $960. I was in good shape in today’s $500 tournament with 80-90 players left (out of 232) when I hit a death spiral, losing a big pot with JJ, then getting crippled by a nasty bad beat with my AQs losing to A8o, and finally running AJ into AA to end it all, finishing 75th for zero dollars. Josh has flown out for the series and has not cashed in either event so far, running into lost coinflips and other mishaps along the way (he’s written about his Seattle visit in his blog). Both of us look to tomorrow’s main event for redemption. We keep talking about wanting to end up with a 1-2 finish - certainly tomorrow would be the best time for it, and would be reminiscent of the 1-2 finish at the Muckleshoot tournament between me and Deb from 4 years ago. I won’t let him win, but in the end I’d be pretty happy to finish second to him…
I’ll be tweeting updates on my twitter page … Josh’s page is here
