Thanks to the "awesome" structure of these low buy-in events at the WSOP, the average stack is just around 31 bb now.
Blinds are 400/800/100
I'm seeing all ins on every other table so we should get into the money within the next few hours.
AK vs 99, pretty standard flip
We're right on the bubble now, with around 20 bustouts to the money. They decided to just take a break now, I guess they wanted to avoid having a break in the middle of hand for hand play.
Nothing interesting happening now, just lots of shorties pushing all in.
We are already in the money.
Blinds now are 500/1,000/100
Maddyhh is clearly the most aggressive player on his table on the bubble, I think he was opening every hand when he got the chance to. There were no flops though.
There was an all in and call in the 1st hand after the bubble. Standard flip with AK vs JJ, not involving Maddyhh, AK won and he doubled up.
Bustouts going quickly, down to 326 now.
Blinds are at 600/1,200/200
Maddyhh has about double the chip average with 80k chips.
He busted a old shortie 77 vs AQ on a 9 high flop. 7 on the turn.
Players are taking another 20 minute break now, so I will also take a dinner break now.
we're down to 291 here.
Maddyhh has about 65k now.
He tried a 3-barrel bluff, but villain had pretty much the nuts and obviously called him down.
It was a K K 4 A 6 board and villain had KJ, Maddyhh had air.
He also lost a small flip with AT vs 33
Down to 220 now,
Maddyhh has about 58k with blinds going up to 1k/2k/300 after the dinner break.
He lost two hands to the same opponent after folding postflop.
In the first, Maddyhh raised in EP, CO called and BB called.
Flop 8:c 8:h 5:h
BB checks, Maddyhh bets, CO 3-bets and Maddyhh folds.
In the next, villain raised UTG and Maddyhh called in BU
Flop 8:c Q:s A:h check check
Turn K:s villain bets and Maddyhh folds.
Colour up break for the 100 chips
Maddyhh 48k
HomerJ 35k
Blinds will be up to 1.5k/3k/500 after the break with just 138 left
HomerJ lost a huge 100k pot on a flip. He called a raise in BU, SB squeezed all in and HomerJ called. A8 vs 55
Both our guys just went busto.
Maddyhh played quite a few hands this hour, but lost all of them.
In the first, he raised in CO and BB called. They both checked the 9 high flop, and villain bet out on a J turn, Maddyhh called. J again on t river, villain check, Maddyhh bet pretty big, villain called and showed KJ for trips, Maddyhh showed KT for a busted gutshot.
He then played another big hand against a fishy looking guy on his table. Maddyhh raised UTG, HJ called.
Flop J:d 9:h 6:s Maddyhh bet 7.5k, villain raised to 22k and Maddyhh folded.
(They discussed the hand later before Maddyhh busted, and villain said he had a 9, and Maddyhh said he had 88)
The dude then open raised 5xv(15k) from MP, all folded and he showed QQ. He then got pwn3d two hand later when he tried to bluff Max Lykov. He asked Lykov, "why didn't you raise if you knew I had nothing?"
less than 2 orbits later, Maddyhh was busto, he was looking for a hand to push the whole orbit, and flashed me a few junk hands like T2. Finally, he went with 55 from UTG with 12bb left, UTG+1 called, the fishy guy tanked in LP, but folded, and the rest folded as well. UTG+1 showed AA and there was no help on the J high board for Maddyhh.
The fishy guy said he folded JJ and he would've made a set to crack aces and win the hand.
As for HomerJ, his exit began when he lost a huge 3 way all in with QQ. UTG raised, HomerJ flatted his monster in UTG+1, Mp squeezed, UTG called and HomerJ called all in.
QQ vs AK vs JJ and UTG won the hand on a 3:s 9:c 4:s K:c K:d board.
HomerJ was then all in the next hand with just 8.5k or under 3bb from UTG, CO, BU, BB called. they checked it all the way down and BU made a tiny 11k bet on the river. Nobody called and he showed a rivered straight. HomerJ "I guess you beat K high." He only had K5o
