I'm just a simple man with a simple plan, a simple plan to be the man.

Pretty draining day today at the World Series of Poker. For the second straight year I finished in the top 800 in the main event. And for the second straight year I got knocked out holding pocket eights. It was an incredible run.

Final break on Day 2ABC of the Main. 113k. Started the level without my glasses and I wasn't certain I had a flush when I hit it. Fortunately I did have the flush.

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

Correction, 75.5K

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

Made it to dinner break on day two of the main event. Last level was up and down a lot. Sitting on 80,300 now.

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

On the second break of the Main. Coming back to 600/1200/1200 blinds. Not much happened this level. Sitting at 56.4K.

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

Ok. Maybe less than 90%. 🙂

Day 2ABC of the Main. Started with 70.3K. Made a great pot sized river bet bluff that would work 90% of the time on a board of 5235 River Queen. OOP player eventually called with AQ. Got down to 35K. Now @ 57.2k. 57BB next level

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

Last level was a bit of a roller coaster. Was up to 95k. The big hand that hurt was when I had pocket aces and the flop was Q98 with two clubs. I see bet flop and shortish stack when all in with A9cc. Club on the turn and I lost over 30k. Ended the day with 70.3K.

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

Last break of the night at the Main Event. 89.1k. last hand before the break got AA vs AK with three streets of value on a board of AQT7T.

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

Made it to the dinner break in the main event. An hour and a half of just folding, and then I got some hands I could work with. 62.8K

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

On 2nd break in the Main. Won the first three pots of the previous level, but they were pretty small, otherwise card dead. 46.6k

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

To be clear, I was not in the first hand. 🙂

[Jeff Gilmore @jeffgilmore]

In the Main on the first break. My two pair ran into a slightly better two pair. On the first hand the hijack bet the cut off three bet and then the hijacked four bet. First hand and they're already going to war. Very competent table. At 51.2K.

No photo this time. I am out. Lost a coin flip with tens against Ace King. Out in 6th place out of 186. Won $2016.
