Heads Up!

Posted on by

Ignition Casino $7 NLHE Jackpot Sit & Go

This the Ignition version of the three-person winner-takes-all Sit & Go with a variable payout. 2x the buyin for most of the games, 5x for about 25% of the games, with payouts much higher for a very few games. Never got more than the 5x payout on anything, but I’ve been profitable in them. Cashed 50/114, which wouldn’t be enough to profit if they were all just 2x payouts but about 16% ROI.

Structures are very fast and some of the players are decent—I was in one the other day where none of us hit the wall before we were all down to 5bb—but most of the players still limp into every hand long past the point where they should just be shoving.

I was heads-up this morning on hand 8 in a $35 payout after losing some chips in the first couple hands (starting stack 500, down to 330) and the other player had just swallowed up the third player. (he had 1170, with blinds at 20/40.

J♥4♣ He called, flop was Q♠5♣T♦ and I folded to his bet on the turn.

3♥8♥ Folded my small blind.

2♥4♥. Folded to his bet on A♠7♦T♣ flop.

3♥A♦ Shoved after he limped in. He folded.

3♦Q♠ This hand got checked down to the river with a 9♠5♣4♠T♠A♦ board. He had 3♥Q♣. I’m still down at 270 against his 1230.

J♠2♠ I fold small blind.

2♥5♦. Really, any hand without a deuce or trey in it would be nice. He limps, flop is 7♠3♥J♥ and I fold to a bet. 210 left.

4♦2♣ Uhhh, guys? Fold small blind.

J♠2♠ This looks familiar. He calls, the board gets checked down K♦A♥7♣4♣Q♥ and at showdown he has 3♣6♠, so jack-high takes the cake. A win!

9♠9♣ I shove on the first hand of 30/60 and he calls with 7♦A♦. Board runs out clean and I double to 460.

Q♣T♠ He limps, I shove, and he folds.

2♦K♥ Shove. Up to 580.

8♣J♦ He limps, I check and we check through the flop to a board of 3♦8♠A♥5♣. I bet my second pair for 180 and he folds.

4♥Q♠ I fold my small blind. This is the 21st hand of the tournament.

6♣T♠ He calls and I check. 6♦2♦9♣ flop and I check-call his bet of 60. Q♠ turn and I check-fold to another min-bet. Down to 490.

6♠J♥ Fold the small blind.

K♦7♠ He folds.

8♠7♥ I fold.

9♥A♥ He folds.

2♠6♥ Not back to this, please. Fold.

9♣2♠ He limps in and the flop is 4♦3♦2♥. I do have a pair, so I jam the last 400 in, he calls with J♣A♠ and the board is safe for me. I hate to double on that hand, but there you go. I’m in the lead with 920.

4♠6♣ Blinds to 40/80. I fold my small blind.

8♠8♣ I shove, he calls all in with 6♣5♣ and the board runs out 4♠T♣K♣9♥Q♣. back down to 260 aka 3.25bb.

4♦9♥ Fold.

Q♠T♥ He limps, I shove and he calls with 2♥3♠. I double to 440.

A♥A♠ I still only have 4.5bb. I shove, and he calls with A♣5♣. Reasonable, and this time the spade flush runs out for me. Up to 880.

Q♠A♠ He limps, I shove. He calls with 5♦Q♦. I’m 70% to win the pot and the game, but the board runs out 8♥6♠2♥2♠6♥. I make two pair with an ace, but he has the crucial eight for the better two pair. Down to 260.

6♥8♦ I shove, he calls with 5♣Q♠, and I spike an eight on the river to double to 520.

4♥A♦ Old pattern. He limps, I shove, he calls wih K♦5♦ (59%/41%) and the board is T♠4♠6♠3♠ no don’t do it! 2♣. Couldn’t even give me a spade on the river to make the flush instead of the straight.

 

PNW Poker Leaderboard — 12 July 2019

Posted on by

The PNW Poker Leaderboard is mostly reserved for major poker achievements; scores of $10K or more and those which represent a 400% ROI. If someone min-cashes a $10K normally, it’s not going to get on here unless they cross the $50K payout threshhold, or I’d be just posting every single cash from PNW players in high buyin tournament. Ain’t got time for that.

That said, because the WSOP Main Event is such a big thing in the poker world that I cover it the way I have been the past week, I’m going to run down the folks who’ve cashed the Main and how it affects them on the Leaderboard. One thing you’ll notice here is that there are people in the list who were not on the daily reports, because their Hendon Mob profile home town does not match their WSOP profile.

Other Stuff

From Bremerton, Austin Hortaleza dragged down the win in a $200 buyin Rio Daily Deepstack the day before the 4th, then he came in 12th out of the 870 entries in WSOP #75 NLHE Little One for One Drop just a couple of days later. They were his third and fourth recorded cashes. He debuts on the Leaderboard at #2117.

Coming in at 28th in the same event was Rafael Lebron from Puyallup. And Ridgefield’s Jeffrey Bushaw got his biggest recorded cash for 35th, less than a week after a decent showing (60th) in WSOP #69 NLHE Mini Main Event (5,521 entries). Lebron moves up one spot on the Leaderboard to 61; Bushaw jumps from 1227 to 705.

James Romero (Portland) makes a rare appearance here outside of the high roller events but, as usual, it’s up near the top of something, this time at 3rd in the Venetian/MSPT #75 $1M GTD NLHE MonsterStack. The event drew 2,232 entries and more than doubled the guarantee.

Did someone say Limit Hold’em? Yes, it was Tam Hang (Lynnwood), who came in 3rd in the WSOP #72 LHE Championship. 118 entries. Hang maintains his position at #16

Portland’s own Ming Zhu was the 11th-place finisher in WSOP #64 NLHE Crazy Eights (10,185 entries), which pops him up almost 50 spots to #126. Before he cashed in the Main Event (see above) Dien Le of Bellevue took 67th in the same event (both cashes moved him ten places on the Leaderboard to #99). Right behind (or before, depending on which way you look at it) Le was Salem’s Tam Nguyen, in 68th. He maintains on the Leaderboard at #27.

Shelton’s Loren Camp jumps 450 places to #326 with a win in the 496-entry Aria Poker Classic $100K GTD NLHE Seniors in the middle of June.

Steve Harper (Portland) climbs nearly 30 places to #213 with 2nd place on one of the $400 Rio Daily Deepstack tournaments.

Joshua Griffith nearly made it to the final table in the WSOP #77 LHE 6-Max (yes, Limit again!). He took 9th in the field of 193 (right behind Jeff Shulman) for the biggest-ever cash of this Portland player. He moves from #1722 to #1114.

He was on a Main Event feature table. He was on a Tag Team with George Wolff, Angela Jordison, and Jacki Burkhart, and he got 8th place in the Venetian #86 $200K GTD NLHE Double Stack. Eugene’s Mason Barrell beat out nearly 900 other contenders in a tournament where the prize pool neared $500K, and he moves 16 places on the Leaderboard to #196.

Finally for this edition, Shoreline’s Victor Chung was 20th of 1,363 entries in the Venetian #91 $1M GTD NLHE Summer Saver. His second-largest cash (after cashing the Main Event last summer) puts him up to #760 on the Leaderboard.

PNW Poker Players: 2019 WSOP Main Event Day 7

Posted on by

Sorry for the lateness of the post, I was working on a new edition of the PNW Poker Leaderboard last night and just didn’t manage to get even this minor post done before work.

Essentially, everyone from the PNW contingent has been eliminated, apart from Preben Stokkan, the Norwegian pro whose WSOP profile says is from my hometown of Corvallis, and who is—amazingly enough—still in the game with 30 players remaining despite having been down to a single big blind on Day 3, up to the chip lead by the end of that day, then 104/106 at the start of play yesterday.

As always, in addition to PNW players, I’m on the bandwagon for Hossein Ensan, senior EPT crusher, who was 2nd in chips at the end of Day 6 and is still in the top 4 (all between 30M and 40M).

So who knows Ian Pelz? The WSOP reports say he lives in Eugene, but most of his previous cashes come from Illinois and Colorado (he won the opening event of the 2018 Colorado Poker Championship) and Hendon Mob says he’s from Boulder. GL to him!

Play starts today (106 players remaining) at 80,000 for the big blind, so even Shane Abbott and Preben Stokkan still have 10bb. It’ll be 200,000 by the end of the day. Stokkan famously was down to a single big blind at the first break of Day 3 before he ran it up to EOD3 chip leader. Maybe lightning will strike twice.

Great job to Jacki Burkhart, Nick Getzen, Mans Montgomery, and Jeffrey Dewitt for making the money and bringing at least a little of it back to the PNW!

PNW Poker Players: 2019 WSOP Main Event Day 5

Posted on by

If you haven’t already had an opportunity to check out the article I posted last night (“Dropping Like Chandeliers”), it has a little interactive chart showing the percentage of the field making it through to the end of Days 1 to 4.

In addition to more players making it through to Day 5 this year because of the size of the field (354 from 8,569), a higher percentage of entries got through Day 4 than in any year since 2014 (4.13%, slightly more than 2017, but fewer than 4% made it in 2015,2016, and 2018).

Even so, the task of rounding up the PNW players in the field is, sadly, easier by far today. On the bright side, though, hometown fave Jacki Burkhart has officially made a deep run in the Main Event, and ditto for Eugene’s Ian Pelz. Kudos also to Mans Montgomery from Idaho, and Shane Abbott and Jeffrey Dewitt from Washington. And, of course, there’s Preben Stokkan.

Players this deep are approaching payouts of $40K. The $100K mark won’t be reached until there are fewer than 73 players remaining. We probably won’t get there until sometime on Day 6, so today is all about slowly climbing the pay scale from a $30K to $60K.

The big blind inthe first level of Day 5 will be 24,000. By the end of the day in Level 25, the big blind will be 60,000.

Pelz starts at a table with 2013 Main Event runner-up Jay Farber.

PNW Poker Players: 2019 WSOP Main Event Day 4

Posted on by

Congratulations! You’re all in the money!

Play ended as the clock counted down the last minutes of Level 15 and the money bubble popped with 1,286 players remaining from the field of 8,569. The remaining PNW group includes 11 from Oregon, 4 from Idaho, and 20 from Washington.

More or less.

The wild story of the day belongs to a nominally PNW player, Preban Stokkan, who has a US flag and listed hometown of Corvallis on reports and the WSOP player database, but whose Hendon Mob profile lists as a Norwegian living in London with over $1.7M in live tournament earnings. He was down to a single 5K chip at the first break of the day but he’s in the chip lead now.

It’s not unusual for the WSOP player database to have incorrect or just old info, or for non-US players to claim a US hometown because they were in the US when they first played the WSOP or tax reasons (or even for players from different states to have not updated their info: looking at you, Nick Getzen). That’s why Annie Duke and Esther Taylor-Brady are still at the top of the Oregon leaderboard on Hendon Mob.

PNW Poker Players: 2019 WSOP Main Event Day 3

Posted on by

The final day of registration on 2C picked up an extra 344 new players on top of the 3,664 that finished Day 1C. That number was reduced to 1,793 by the end if Day 2C, and now the whole gang from all starting days is together for Day 3 at 2,880 players.

For players listing residence in the Pacific Northwest, the survivors include 5 from Idaho, 39 from Washington, and 24 from Oregon.

The big blind at start of play today will be 2,400. By the end of the day it will be 6,000. 1,286 players will be paid, that number should be reached at or neat the end of today.

PNW Poker Players: 2019 WSOP Main Event Day 2AB

Posted on by

There were 3,248 players coming into Day 2AB from Days 1A and 1B, with another 100 or so electing to late-register before the start of play. Out of that, 1,087 players remain. If you were watching ESPN/PokerGO coverage for the day, it was pretty much the Jacki Burkhart show, as her table featuring Chris Moneymaker was the main feature table for the day, Moneymaker didn’t bust (despite being at risk a number of times), so it stayed that way, and her commanding lead at the table and personality got her a lot of love from the hosts.

She led a discussion about “keeping the band [at][the][feature][table “” not found /]
together”, which it did for a surprisingly long time, though people started to drop as the night went on. There was ample Oregon rep at the table, with Jacki, Andrew Seidman (still listed from Portland on the reports though Jacki told me he now lives in the Bay Area), And there’s Josh, dealing!

It should be a very happy birthday for her.

Day 2AB survivors include 8 Oregon players, 14 Washington players, and 2 from Idaho.

https://twitter.com/BJNemeth/status/1147647133027356680

Today’s 2C starts with an 800 big blind/big blind ante (Level 6); The day will end with the big blind at 2,000 (Level 10). Approximate cost per level in blinds:

  • Level 6 (400/800/800 bba): 13,300 chips
  • Level 7 (500/1,000/1,000 bba): 16,700
  • Level 8 (600/1,200/1,200 bba): 20,000
  • Level 9 (800/1,600/1,600 bba): 26,700
  • Level 10 (1,000/2,000/2,000 bba): 33,300
  • TOTAL FOR DAY 2: 110,000

PNW Poker Players: 2019 WSOP Main Event Day 1C

Day 1C was pretty dramatic, with one player attempting to swipe a stack from the player next to him (arrested), the “unmasked bandit” who shoved blind, exposed his cards, and stood up to pull his pants down and throw a show at the dealer (disqualified after winning the hand and escorted off the property, only to repeat the stunt dancing on an Aria gaming table), and, of course the earthquake that forced an early dinner break.

There were 4,879 entries for Day 1C. 3,664 continue. There have been a total of 8,132 entries so far in this year’s Main Event, entry still open through noon tomorrow for Day 2C.

Today’s 2AB will combine the players from Day 1A and Day 1B. Play on Day 2 starts with an 800 big blind/big blind ante (Level 6); The day will end with the big blind at 2,000 (Level 10). Approximate cost per level in blinds:

  • Level 6 (400/800/800 bba): 13,300 chips
  • Level 7 (500/1,000/1,000 bba): 16,700
  • Level 8 (600/1,200/1,200 bba): 20,000
  • Level 9 (800/1,600/1,600 bba): 26,700
  • Level 10 (1,000/2,000/2,000 bba): 33,300
  • TOTAL FOR DAY 2: 110,000

Day 1C survivors include 27 Oregon players, 56 Washington players, and 5 from Idaho, with Portland’s Steve Harper and his Tiny Nut (all hail Battlebots) on top of the PNW crew.
