Vegas June 2018 (WSOP)

Day 15 - More Aria
Last Updated: 2018-06-23 09:48:57
Unfortunately don't have a lot interesting to say about Day 15. Played for a while in both tournaments, didn't cash, not too many interesting hands. It was mostly ABC poker.
It's nice when you're in the big blind, look at your cards right away and see aces then see (at 800/400/800 blinds): call, call, call, 4th call(?), all-in, fold around to you. All the limpers fold, aces hold up! He only had J-T.
At that point I was around 35k from my 20k start, but as seems to be the case whenever I build up any kind of chip stack nothing seemed to work out for me after that.
This one only had 100 or so people and I think was paying 12 places. I busted somewhere in the 40s.
7pm started out well. Was slowly building a chip stack through the first 6 levels, but last hand before the break I raised out with a suited ace to 1500 and (600/300/600) a 5k stack went over the top of me. Had to call, he had queens. I flopped an ace, he turned a queen and I was around 23,500 at the first break.
Got very little for KK and AK, but did get something out of flopped trip jacks.
I'm back down around 23k when I get into a 3 way all-in with QQ against AJ and KJ. So I'm basically flipping a coin to triple up. KJ was the short stack, I was the middle stack.
Flop brought a king, no ace, and the side pot actually left me with a profit and put me over 31k.
But that was the high point for me. Again I managed to get to about 45 paying 15 but got all in with an ace, ran into a pair, didn't get any help.
In spite of how it's gone so far, I'm looking forward to Aria Saturday. A 3-stud mix! Let's see how that goes...

do you think they pick up on your KK AA etc hands and thus fold?
