$1500 NLHE - any 2+2ers in?

[registrar]

My mate is playing as part of his ME package so I'd be interested. Where's the best place for updates?

[Davey]

cardplayer and pokerwire. Usually just the big names get updated early on.

[uter]

i just got one thing to say......the legend himself is in this one....thats right.....Lance Funston is in the house!!!......let the carnage ensue.......

[Crimson]

Jgorham is in 6th place with 179,000 chips at the moment. They are on dinner break for 20 more minutes.

Go Jimmy!

[Thythe]

Jason Strasser was in first the last time I checked.

[ohkanada]

Jason Strasser has the chip lead with 286k with 39 left.

How the hell did the first four posts of this thread not even mention Strasser, with a thread titled "any 2+2ers in"?

Because he wasn't the chipleader when it was made?

Oh, whoops, didn't see the timestamp of the initial post.

oh god terrible hand crippling jason...

not sure about pf action but they got it all in, he called JJ from other guy who moved in with AT on T high flop, T hits, and jason loses a 500k+ pot...

[/ QUOTE ]

Gross. How much does he have left?

[technologic]

he just doubled through, so around 275-300k...not too bad top 5 in chips i think

[Crimson]

According to Cardplayer.com James Gorham is at 700,000 chips (behind the leader of 790,000) and Jason is at 214,000.

Edit: Jim's chip leader and Jason's at 210

[okterrific]

The 4-7 Monster
Jason Strasser is all-in for his last $95,000 and is called by Steve Wise. Strasser flips over 7s4s, Wise AsJd. The flop comes 9s6s7d, pairing Strasser's seven and giving him a flush draw as well. The turn is the 4d giving Strasser two pair and Wise is drawing dead going into the river. The river is the Qd and Strasser doubles up to $190,000.

[cameronw01]

Strassa in 8th and James Gorham in 3rd going into FT. Good luck!

[Moonshine]

Strasser's beating AJ with 74 and I'm losing AK to AJ

sigh...what a gay event that was


gl Jason, you seemed to be playing well. i'm sure you'll do great tomorrow

[AllinDan]

congrats Strassa, good luck tomorrow.

[Jason Strasser (strassa2)]

gl tmrw.

So guys were sucking and phucking each other? Thats weird.

gl Jason.

[Yeti]

good luck sir!

[jgorham]

The final table has a good mix of players: one guy was drunk drunk drunk tonight, knocking over chips, drooling, etc. Another guy raises and calls a reraise UTG, then checks and calls an allin bet with 25s (he flopped a pair). I like my chances for tomorrow.

Good luck Jason, hopefully we can play heads up for the bracelet.

[mornelth]

GL at the FT!!!

[Caldarooni]

GL Jimmy!

[nath]

gl guys, i'll try to make it out.

[Gramps]

Make good use of those chips I gave you early. I didn't make a loose raise call/loose check-push on a draw/over against you because I liked your PokerStars.Net shirt or anything. Polish up the luckbox and get it working again.

[DemonDeac]

gl jgorham and jason

I know you're shortstacked, but, if you don't win a bracelet against these dudes then 2+2 has no chance...

Since you hadn't figured out from the posts above you, James Gorham is also a 2+2er. So 2+2 has at least a 1/7 chance even if Strassa doesn't win!

He must go to USCB as well, UCSB is in Goleta.

Nothing on facebook but he is listed on hendon mob for some random tourney at the bike last year. Seems more likely that he is just some dude. Can jgorham and strassa confirm?

FYI his name isn't "Age" but "Aage", only with the double "a" replaced by the Nordic A with a circle above it. Double A's are customarily used to replace this character in English, not that Cardplayer cares obviously. His last name is weirdo even in Norwegian though /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[CallMeIshmael]

They're up and running

GO Gorham!

[Crimson]

10. Age Spets raises to $45,000 from the button and Mohamad Ilyas calls from the big blind. The flop comes 10diamond9diamond3heart and both players check. They check a turn of 4club and the river is the Qheart. They check again and Ilyas shows A-9 for a pair of nines to win the pot.

Unbelivably passive.

[CallMeIshmael]

Crimson,

Are you little gorham? I cant remember

[Crimson]

Yeah he's my older brother.

[CallMeIshmael]

Did you buy part of the 2.5% he sold?

[Crimson]

Naw I already owe him like 2 grand.

Though in retrospect that would have been a good idea. Results oriented though I suppose...

[CallMeIshmael]

42. James Gorham raises to $60,000 from under the gun and Age Spets makes the call from early position. Osman Kibar calls from the button and Jason Strasser moves all in from the small blind. Gorham moves all in on top and both Spets and Kibar fold. Strasser shows JJ but Gorham turns over AA. The board comes A7233 and Gorham wins the pot, eliminated Strasser.


GO Gorham

[CallMeIshmael]

71. James Gorham limps from the small blind and Age Spets raises $35,000 more from the big blind. Gorham moves all in immediately and Spets folds.

66. James Gorham raises to $75,000 from the small blind and Age Spets, in the big blind, makes the call. The flop comes Qs5s4s and both players check. The turn is the 7h and they check again. The river is the 7c and Gorham checks. Spets checks and Gorham shows Jd2s. Spets mucks his hand.

[Sponger.]

CHIP LEAD!

2P2 AT THE FINAL TABLE WITH THE CHIP LEAD AND 4 PEOPLE LEFT AND YOU GUYS SAY NOTHING. CMON!

[CallMeIshmael]

This might be the worst set of names ever assembled at a poker table

Mohamad Ilyas
James Gorham
Osman Kibar
Age Spets (<-- wtf is that?)
Nick Ronyecz
Miff Fagerlie

[CallMeIshmael]

Down to 3

[Crimson]

Chip leader! 3 left, 2 mill for jimmy, 1.7 for the next guy, and the last one only has 500k.

Take home the braclet!

He got lucky with KQ vs AK, but he's been playin like a champ.

"53. James Gorham raises to $60,000 from middle position and Mohamad Ilyas calls from the small blind. The flop comes 7club6spade2spade and Ilyas bets $80,000. Gorham calls and the turn is the 3spade. Both players check and the river is the 2diamond. Ilyas bets $100,000 and Gorham calls immediately and shows A-10 for ace high. Ilyas turns over K-10 for king high and mucks his hand."

GL JGORHAM!

Final 2!

Take home the bracelet!

Edit: Jimmys has a 3 to 1 chip lead as they set up the final table.

[Assani Fisher]

I finished 153rd when my QQ lost to 77 and A3(3 way all in preflop).

Yeah, this guy seriously needs some better PR when he gets back here. I guess this is what it would be like if I ever final tabled at the WSOP.

James Gorham Wins the $1,500 NLHE Event ($765,226)

CONGRATS JIMMY!!!

[Crimson]

[Sponger.]

Crimson,

Is your brother is tall with curly brown hair and glasses and was working something at the WPT LA Poker Classic at commerce a few months ago?

[Crimson]

Thats another brother (PatJ i think he posts as occasionaly). I was there too, we were shooting a documentary called "Divas of Poker" that should be out soon.

Me and him play a little but Jimmy is by far the best.

Back to celebrating, woohoo!

[Tarheel]

Bump for morning crowd. Nice work jgorham! Let's see a picture of that sexy new BRACELET.

[jd2b2006]

(Yuv posting while Chris might be dead in my hotel room. I'm not sure)

Nice job Jimmy. I am somewhat to blame for Jason busting. I walked in the RIO, looked at the FT, walked there wondering if there are any 2+2ers left. First thing I hear is "Jason is all in with JJ against AA", flop came ace high, gg jason. Sorry /images/graemlins/frown.gif, my bad.

Yuv.

[jgorham]

Thanks to everyone who sweated me, and congrats Jason on a big cash even if you had to get cold decked against me. I can't even describe the feeling, and right now I am too hung over to try, but its something I recommend /images/graemlins/smile.gif
