I have been slaving away at trying to win a seat to the WSOP.  But things have not looked too good at all until today.

I was playing the 33r triple turbo they offer on PokerStars.  I built a pretty nice chiplead from the start and didn’t look back.  I had a little hiccup as we approached the final 2 tables.  But that was quickly washed away as I won a few pots, one right after the other.

Next thing I knew, I was heads up with a slightly better than 2:1 chip lead.  One of the first hands heads up, I get dealt K7o.  This hand may not seem like much, but it was plenty for me to shove about a 10bb effective stack headsup.  I get called by QJ.  The board came out:

T 6 7   GREAT!

8 on the turn…..  HOLD!

and….

Q! on the ****ing river!!

He took the chiplead in the hand, and I was never able to recoup as we were trading small blows here and there until I made a pretty speculative call in which I was about a 40% underdog for my tourney life.

Well….uh, this is not one of those 40% time that I come out on top.

That Queen on the river cost me 12 thousand dollars!  I am sooooo sick right now!  Ugh.

But come tomorrow, hopefully the pain will be relieved as I have to keep trying to win a WSOP seat, or two.

Until then……..
