GL guys, I'll be there tomorrow, possibly playing the 1500 PLO but definitely rooting you on

Goooooo, CSC!!!!

Good luck.

[rothko]

one ugly mf, but take it down csc!

Brendan told me he's got 200k locked up and 300k for first.

Huge.

[Tyler Durden]

Brendan is an awesome guy, I hope he wins this!

Did I read Cardplayer right? Buyin is 3k, but 36th and 37th barely get half of their buyin back?

[/ QUOTE ]

kinda tricky to explain, but they're doing this thing called "round for round" on the bubble -- so each table plays an orbit, then stops.

anyway if more than one person is eliminated during the bubble then they each get a percentage of the prize. does that make any sense? i think it's been explained elsewhere in a less convoluted manner.

[rockin]

yeah, kind of confusing.

[bugstud]

note that the first people out on the FT makes jack [censored].

[CardSharpCook]

Thanks for the support, guys. As my brother just told me, I am good enough to be here, but luck and chance got me here. I am good enough to win, but it will take luck and chance as well. My only stated goal this year has been to win a bracelet in a limit event. So far it has been one disappointment after another. I've played and luckboxed my way into a position to accomplish that goal. I hope that I don't play myself out of this. There are 3 other VERY strong players at the table, and 3 more who know what they are doing. That leaves only 2 weak spots. At times like these I wonder where my supposed edge comes from (and if it actually exists). But this is a great opportunity and an awesome experience. It sounds like a big group of friends, including some 2p2ers I've just recently met, will be there to cheer me on. I really appreciate this. I also have family members following intently on Cardplayer, hitting the refresh button every two minutes. I will do my best not to mess ths up, but I will also take every opportunity that I see, relying on my infamous "reads".

[MicroBob]

fantastic post.

Good luck Brendan.

Awaken the inner-Schneids in you. You're sharp enough to find that advantage against the other decent opponents at your table.

What time EST do we start?

Wait, I don't get it... the WSOP site is reporting this in results:

best of luck to CSC and others. one time!

[mlagoo]

Mods,

Given that this is no longer in the MTT Community forum, the title should probably be changed to reflect that Newhizzle and IanJ are also in this FT, as is some fellow named Jerrod who apparently has posted here a few times.

[poincaraux]

Moving threads to a forum where the same thread (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=6563661&an=0&page=0#Post 6563661) already exists seems a bit silly if you're going to leave both threads alive.

[mlagoo]

agreed. we had a nath sweat thread in MTTC at the same time as there was a thread here about the tourney; not sure why this thread was moved.

[DLizzle]

starting now, gl.

[biendover]

GL Ian. Bring it back to Seattle you dirty whore.

-Bien

[ohkanada]

Looks like cardplayer is giving us their B ( or C) coverage for this final table. I assume the A coverage will go to the Hellmuth final table.

Brendan off to a fast start from what I read in cardplayer.

Ken

[DLizzle]

damn all three hands updated by cardplayer involve CSC. loses a huge pot, then wins two good size ones.

[mlagoo]

Valuetown?

From middle position, Mark Newhouse raises to $10,000 and is re-raised by Javier Torresola. From the button, Brendan Taylor calls and Newhouse folds. The flop comes Kheart7heart6diamond. Torresola leads out with $5,000, Taylor raises to $10,000, and Torresola calls. The turn is the 10diamond, Torresola checks, Tayor bets $10,000 and Torresola calls. The river is the Qdiamond, which induces a check from Torresola, a bet from Taylor, and a call. Taylor flips his cards over to show 6spade6club for a set of 6's. Torresola mucks as Taylor climbs to $230,000, and the chip lead.

[RayPowers]

"From middle position, Mark Newhouse raises to $10,000 and is re-raised by Javier Torresola. From the button, Brendan Taylor calls and Newhouse folds."

Curious what Mark folds there for one more bet... Blind steal gone bad?

[/ QUOTE ]

I was wondering that as well but I suck at both limit and donkaments so my limit donkament instincts are probably off, too.

[DLizzle]

maybe he has like QJ and doesn't want to get in trouble with the reraise and call, or something. or maybe cardplayer messed up, it doesn't make that much sense.

[Dunkman]

Last updated 15 minutes ago, and this is the only FT running right now. Good job CP!

[mlagoo]

newhizzle just took down a good sized pot

to be fair, any pot that reaches the river at this point is going to be a good sized pot with the stakes so high.

[woodguy]

Freaking awewome!!!!

Both CSC and Ian J have helped my game.

GO GET EM BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theo Tran Doubles Up

With 4club4spade vs. 10club10heart, Theo Tran's chances didn't look so good. Luckily, after a flop of Qspade7spadeclub3spade, Tran caught running Spades to double up to $60,000, while Ian Johns dropped to $160,000.

clearly a cardplayer mistake. no way newhizzle folded for one bet here.

its possible csc capped and newhizzle folded for 2 bets but thats doubtful as well.

most likely he called and mucked on the flop.

And heh, yeah, so our chip leader has an M of 13.. Yowzer..

[Dave D]

Update directly from CSC at 6:35 EST. 7 left, he's about 3rd or so in chips.

[ipp147]

7 left

Ben "Kid Rock" Robinson Eliminated
Under the gun, Ian Johns raises to $12,000 and from the big blind, Ben Robinson, bizarro "Kid Rock," calls. The flop brings Aspade9spade4spade and Robinson leads out with $6,000. Ian raises to $12,000 and Ben calls, which puts him all-in. Ben shows AclubJspade and Ian, much to Ben's chagrin, exposes AdiamondQdiamond. The turn and river are no help to Robinson, and he exits in 8th place taking home $28,235.

Not counting antes... the level when they got back was going to be 6000/12000. 6000+12000=18000. He had a chipstack at the time of 240,000. So 240000/18000 = 13.33333333....

What am I missing here?

[Yuv]

New Chip Leader
From late position, Jarrod raises to $12,000, Mark Newhouse re-raises to $18,000 from the small blind, and Jarrod calls. The flop is Q62, Mark leads out with $6,000 and Jarrod calls. The 4 comes on the turn, Mark bets $12,000 and Jarrod calls. The river brings the 9 and both players check. Jarrod shows pocket 8's and Mark folds. Jarrod has taken the chip lead with $275,000.

Limit poker is retarded.

Stakes are 6k/12k, but blinds are 3k/6k.
Also, the M concept is more suited to NLHE.

Brendan Taylor Loses Two Big Ones
Brendan Taylor's 9diamond9heart ran into Jarrod Ankenman's JdiamondJclub lowering him to a mere $50,000. A few hands later, Javier Torresola's pair of Kings crippled Taylor's stack down to $15,000.


Mon Jul 17 16:05:00 PDT 2006
Taylor Doubles Up
From the small blind, Ian raises to $12,000 and from the big blind, Brendan Taylor re-raises all-in for his remaining $15,000. Brendan shows Aspade5spade and Ian shows 10spade7diamond. Brendan flops a pair of fives and he doubles up to $26,000.

[Marduk]

Well, I guess 26K is better than 15K. He just has to go on an unbelievably sick rush if he's going to win it now.

Busting out 5 min into the second day sucks (!) Busting out at the FT sucks. And busting out second really really sucks.

Although I'm sure at some point the $$$ figure back into the equation, but the immediate reality is that it sucks.

I missed the "sweat renodoc at a WSOP final table" thread, I guess. BTW, this is not about you, stay on topic please. I may be going out on a limb here, but knowing Brendan, he's going to describe his experience at a WSOP final table without using the word suck eight times.

Great work Brendan!

[mikeymer]

great job bro... 40k is fun... still got the ME.

[Sponger.]

Jurgens Almost Triples-Up
Tad Jurgens raises to $12,000 from middle position and Ian Johns re-raises to $18,000 from the button. Javier Torresola calls in the small blind and Jarrod Ankenman folds in the big blind. Tad then raises again to $24,000 and both Ian and Javier call. The flop comes QdiamondJspade5heart and Tad leads out with his remaining $3,000. Ian calls and Jarrod folds. Tad shows AdiamondAheart to Ian's KspadeQheart. The turn and river were running 4's and Tad nearly tripled up to $84,000.

Ok I think they meant Javier folded here but still that doesn't make any sense. Did he fold on the flop getting 26-1 ? Do the people doing these updates even play poker? How can they not realize how nonsensical some of the action they present is?

[Sponger.]

Javier Torresola raises from the small blind and Jerrod Ankenmen calls from the big blind. The flop comes 7diamond4spade3heart and Torresola bets out $4,000. Ankenman calls and the Jdiamond comes on the turn. Both players check and the river brings the Jspade and Torresola bets $8,000, Ankenman calls . Torresola shows QclubJclub and Ankenman mucks. Torresola jumps up to $169,000 after the pot.

Hmm, He should probably bet $8000 cause they're playing 8k-16k right now. Is card player even trying?

they missed the big hand, ian opens co, csc 3bets, ian calls. Flop KT4 2 spades, ian c/r and csc calls. Turn is a ten and I think it was a spade. ian checks, csc bets, ian c/r, csc 3bets, ian 4bets, csc folded.

edit - this ft wasn't even on the stage, just a table by the stage. Stage is reserved for hellmuth's donkfest.

Mark Newhouse raises to $16,000 from the small blind and Ian Johns calls from the big blind. The flop comes Kheart3heart2spade. Newhouse bets out $8,000 and Ian Johns raises to $16,000. Newhouse re-raises all-in and Johns calls. Newhouse shows 5club4diamond and Johns turns over 10heart7club.

Ian Johns Takes a Pot
Limit Hold'em
Jul 17, 2006 / 21:12:16 EDT
Theo Tran raised to 16K, Ian Johns called from the small blind, and Javier Torresola called from the big blind. The flop came A/images/graemlins/diamond.gifJ/images/graemlins/heart.gifT/images/graemlins/spade.gif, and everyone checked. The turn card was the J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Johns bet 16K, Torresola called, and Tran folded. The river card was the 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, and both players check. They showed:

Ian Johns K/images/graemlins/spade.gifQ/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Javier Torresola ??

Johns won the pot with a flopped A-high straight. Tran claimed he folded 99 on the turn, and he would have made a full house on the river.

[jeffraider]

What's going on here would you say?

After a flop of 9h7d5h, Javier Torresola bet 8K, and Jerrod Ankenman called. The turn card was the 10h, Torresola bet 16K, and Ankenman called. The river card was the Qs, Torresola checked, Ankenman bet 16K, and Torresola called. The players showed:

Jerrod Ankenman Qd2h

Ankenman having Qh 2d seems more likely.
Javier may have had 9x or 7x

Curious what Mark folds there for one more bet... Blind steal gone bad?

yeah, they have the action wrong, i opened, brendon 3-bet, javier 4-bet, and i folded, i dont remember what i had, but it was probably some crap

[Marduk]

Jerrod Ankenman raised from the button to 20K, and Javier Torresola called from the big blind. The flop came Jd9s4s, Torresola checked, Ankenman bet 10K, and Torresola called. The turn card was the 7s, and both players checked. The river card was the 3s, Torresola bet 20K, and Ankenman called. The players showed:

Javier Torresola Qs2c
Jerrod Ankenman ????

Torresola won the pot with a Q-high flush, and Ankenman mucked.


I thought this was funny.

this hand was awesome!

[newhizzle]

so i finished 5th and got unstuck for the trip today, at the dinner break, Ian had a monster chip lead, so hopefully he can take this down

i somehow accumulated a group of fans that i didnt know, one guy was at one of my earlier tables and is apparently some name pro, and his friend, who kept telling me, "number 1, no number 2, must be 1" and some random guy that looked like a bum who was apparently from durham, nc(like right next to my home town), they were cheering me on as well as a few 2+2ers

after i got busted the friend of the guy who was at my table earlier followed me to the cage and after i got my chips, he said, "so, you will put me in the tourney tomorrow right?" and im like who the [censored] is this guy? the bum looking guy ended up helping get him off my back, it was weird

anyway, this was really fun, congrats to brendan also, and gl ian, win this [censored]!

Greg Raymer the Announcer
Greg Raymer has just taken over announcing duties for the headsup play between Ian Johns and Jerrod Ankenmen. He is standing beside the table and calling out the action as it happens.

Ian Johns is of course IanJ, one of the top ranked internet players in the world, but he doesn't seem to mind the guest commentary.

Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer has arrived to show his support for Jerrod Ankenmen. Ankenmen is a fellow RGP member and the two knew each other before anybody became famous for their poker accomplishments. Ankenmen turns around to tell a story about his Greg Raymer bobblehead, but Raymer tells him he can tell the story after he wins the tournament.

Where do ya'll get your updates?

I thought that cardplayer was the only useful place, but I just found what looks like more current updates at pokerwire.com.

[ohkanada]

cardplayer has paid harrahs to be the 1st, so pokerwire will be slightly delayed.

Oddly enough, the pokerwire updates were ahead of the cardplayer ones. Turned out to be the same updates, though.

Hopefully this RGP v 2p2 headsup battle will have a much different result.

Yep.

All of this WSOPmanship seems likely to do great things for the book that Bill and Jerrod are working on. Although "The Math of Poker" will probably be a pretty niche book, so maybe not.

Chen v Nath on Saturday was the RGP v 2p2 headsup match I was referencing.

Ian Johns Wins the $3,000 Limit Hold'em Event

Ian Johns raises preflop and Jerrod Ankenmen calls. The flop comes 9spade5club2heart. Johns bets and Ankenmen calls. The turn is the 3club, and Johns check-raises Ankenmen. The river brings the Aheart and Johns puts Ankenmen all-in. Ankenmen makes the call and mucks when Johns shows Aspade3diamond for two pair and the bracelet. Jerrod Ankenmen is eliminated in 2nd place and earns $150,586.

Looks like Ian may have caught a pretty good run of cards at the end - he started down 900K to 100K (or got there fairly early on once it was down to HU.) Doubling up 3 times certainly helps though.

Congrats IanJ!

Brendan is the person that first taught me to play poker late last year. He gave me insight into the mind of a winning player and never asked for anything in return. He's a class act, a great person and an amazing poker player for sure!

Congrats on making the final table, Brendan! Sorry to see you didn't finish it out but I'm sure it won't be long before you're wearing a bracelet of your own.

Congrats to Ian as well for winning a bracelet! Awesome showing for Two Plus Two!

First of all, congrats to Ian. He seems like a great guy and I am happy for him and his wife. Also, sad congrats to Mark. Mark and I had been at the same tables for much of Day 2, and he is a hell of a player and also a really nice guy. I wish he could have placed higher, but like 7th, 5th is nothing to sneeze at, but I'm sure it hurts just as much. I am very disappointed. This felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity and I blew it. Hopefully this will not turn out to be the case. On to a couple of hands....

CP got this one wrong:
Shortstacked Tran in seat 4 opens, I 3bet 66 from the button, SB Javier 4bets, Tran folds, I call. They got the rest of the hand correct - I raise the flop of k76 and get a bet on every street.

This is THE key hand:
Ian opens in MP, I 3bet 55, he calls. This hand had the backdrop of Ian complaining to me that I 3bet him too much. I was anticipating him playing back at me. The flop is KT4. check, I bet, he raises, I call (looking to raise the turn). Turn is another T, he checks (???), I bet, he raises, I tank and 3bet (thinking this is a better line than calling down as he likely folds 66-99 now - I'd check behind on the river if he calls here). He 4bets. It is quite clear that I am beat now - this wasn't a bluff attempt as I had anticipated, he flopped goot. I muck, and pass 1/3rd of my stack to Ian.

I... don't know about that hand. I could have folded PF. It is close. After the PF... I have to say I like the way I played it. I could have just believed him, but I just expected him to playback at me this hand, so I couldn't believe him. I just don't know.

After that, it was just 3 2nd bests in a row. BLAH!!! Thanks to everyone that came out to sweat me, Paul, Jameson, Jimmy, KT, Nick, Jeff, Mark, Carl, Patrick, Matt, Shawn, and I'm probably forgetting someone.... Thanks to those who followed here and wished me well, and thanks to my family.
