Poker is a funny game. Sometimes all you can do is shake your head and laugh.

Another WSOP Circuit series at Choctaw is in the books. Six tournaments, three cashes, and a deep run in the Main Event, finishing 66th out of 793 players.

Overall, a pretty solid series. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from playing this game, it’s that the results rarely tell the whole story.

The Main Event was the one that hurt. With $208,000 up top, I was still very much in the fight on Day 2. I found myself in a three-way all-in holding AK against TT and 66. A king on the turn put me in the lead, with just two cards in the deck that could eliminate me.

The river? A ten.

Tournament over.

A few hours later, I was playing the Finale Circuit ring event. Once again, I found myself all-in holding AK, this time against pocket nines. The flop came AK7. The turn was a jack. My opponent needed one of two remaining nines.

The river? You guessed it. A nine.

Two tournaments. Same day. Same hand. Two opponents hitting two-outers on the river to send me home.

The mathematical probability of losing both rivers from those exact situations? About 1 in 462.

I’ve played enough poker to know that bad beats are part of the game. They happen every day, and I’ve certainly been on both sides of them. But even after all these years, this game still finds new ways to surprise me.

Am I disappointed? Absolutely. Especially knowing what was on the line in the Main Event.

But I’m also reminded why I love tournament poker. The competition, the friendships, the challenge of making good decisions under pressure, and the possibility that any tournament could become something special.

Three cashes in six events. Some great moments, a few painful ones, and another chapter in this crazy poker journey.

Sometimes you get the ring. Sometimes you get the story. 😂♠️

Until the next one.

@PokerEquityOdds And the main event, open UTG1, LJ call, CO jam 9bb, I rejam 20bb with AK, LJ call with TT. Flop 974, turn K, river T.

[Scot Fahrenbruch @MCSFPoker]

Entered the WSOP circuit finale. I put my last 10 big blinds all in pre with AK after another guy had jammed. He had 99. Flop AK7. He says “good flop for you”. Turn, J. I held my breath. River 9!! I’ve been two outed on the river twice in one day. There’s a first time for everything I guess.

[Scot Fahrenbruch @MCSFPoker]

@PokerEquityOdds Yup. Busted the second tournament with AK vs 99 on a AK7J board, river 9.

[Scot Fahrenbruch @MCSFPoker]

@SireDenathrius_ I can imagine it does online. But for it to happen twice, to bust out of a live major series tournament, in the same day…I’ve not experienced that.

[Scot Fahrenbruch @MCSFPoker]

@audavidb I’m not sure what your definition of “win easily” is but that Broncos game didn’t look easy. Again. Not sure my heart can take this all year.

[Scot Fahrenbruch @MCSFPoker]

If you’re wondering if someone “should” call a 20bb rejam with TT, here’s the answer. It’s not “never”. Would you call with 30bb in your stack?

@NourPoker I think my record was 8. I try to stick to 2 as I’m mostly trying to avoid lower buyins and breaking my record. 🤣
