wsop part iii

first break ...

something like 566 players in the tourney ... i'm sitting at 970 chips, down 30, after 2 rounds of betting.play at the table is tight enough that even i look aggressive ...

one player, a guy who looks like the bald guy from alf, has had a tremendous run ... A5 wheel to sccop, 2-6 straight to scoop, and 4 4's to scoop ... i'd guess he's sitting around 3000, and would be one of the heavier stacked players in the tourney.immediately to my left, which is to say "right where you don't want him to be" is huck seed, former world no-limit champion.

he made an indescribably bad play, raising and re-raising a sole person, who clearly was going low when huck couldn't get there ... the low had a wheel, taking down a seriously large stack and removing half of huck's chips.

i've been playing okay -- chased one pot where i shouldn't have for one extra card ... and could have stolen the antes at one point if i'd thought about it a little harder.went down 300 from a successive set of weak hands that weren't improving and didn't look scary, but hit a big winner against the power force at our table ... i was going low, but the hand flipped over high and i bet bet bet until i won. he laid down trips against my showing 2 pair, assuming from the way i was betting that i had a full house -- i didn’t.so i'm happy to be where i am. would like a bit better, but i'm glad i'm not 300 down anymore.people have mtn. dew bottles here ... where the hell are they getting them?
