WSOP Event #40 $1K NLHE Seniors Day 2
Despite what the Chip Count says, Seattle’s Alice Parypa is still hanging in with more than 10BB as one of two PNW Seniors still in the game, according to the official EOD2 report. She’s in 41st place out of 41 65 players. Anthony Simpson of Pasco, Washington is the other. They’re guaranteed at least $12K $6.6K each. There’s $613K up top. Only ten of the returning players failed to cash, with 25 making the money. I’d like to take a moment to mention there are two players added to the list below who were listed with California hometowns on the EOD1 report, but in Washington and Oregon on Results.

It’s a limit, split-pot game, the money bubble won’t break until later today.

Today’s Las Vegas Series Events
My article examining the how time-to-bubble increased due to the larger chip stacks at the WSOP this year (coupled with blind structure modifications) hit just after the WSOP announced plans to address the issue which had been simmering since the beginning of the series three weeks ago.
Bovada $4K NLHE
It’s the morning Bovada $11 tournament. As usual, I get in a few minutes late. It’s a classic example of bad judgement messing everything up after doing things right for a couple of hours.
Hand 3 [qs jd] UTG1 T10K 30/60
I’m in seat 1. I raise to 150, BB calls with [js jh]. The flop is [4s 4h ah] and I c-bet 200. BB calls and [ks] hits the turn. I throttle back, he checks, it’s [2c] on the river and we check to him winning the pot.
Hand 18 [kh ts] HJ T9.4K 50/100
UTG1 and UTG3 limp in. I raise to 350. SB calls with [7c 7d]. UTG1 calls with [qd jh]; UTG3 comes along with [ks 3s]. The flop is [5c 2s 5s], UTG3 bets 250 on his flush draw and gets called only by the sevens, which end up winning.
Hand 20 [3s 3c] UTG2 T9.1K 50/100
UTG raises with [jd ah], I call to set-mine, BB comes along with [jd ah]. The flop is [9c 5d jc], I fold to a bet from UTG, and they end up chopping the pot.
Hand 28 [9s ts] UTG3 T8.7K 75/150
UTG raises to 600, I call along with HJ. The flop is [ah 7d kh], entirely too high and red for my taste, so I fold to a 1.3K bet from UTG, who has [ks kc]. HJ [6h 7h] goes all-in on the turn with bottom pair and a flush draw and gets eliminated by the set of kings.
Hand 29 [ad kh] UTG2 T8.1K 75/150
UTG1 raises to 300 with [9s 9d] and I 3-bet to 1K. He calls, the flop is [5s js 4d]. He checks to me and I go all-in. He folds. Finally I win some chips.
Hand 31 [kd 4d] UTG T9.4K 75/150
I raise to 400 and get two callers. The flop is [6h 3c 4h] and I c-bet 550 on bottom pair. It’s actually good against [jc as] and [td ac]. Back over starting stack.
Hand 34 [7h 5h] D T10.2K 75/150
I follow UTG and UTG2 limping into the pot, and SB comes along. The flop is [jh 7d 3d], SB checks, BB ([jd 5d]) bets 300. UTG with [7s 7c] for a set calls, UTG2 ditches [5s ad], I call, and [qs 9d] is dropped by SB. The turn [9h] makes my flush draw look better, but when BB bets 825 on top pair and the other red flush, and UTG raises to 2K with his set, I chicken out. BB calls, the [8h] would have completed my flush, both players check the river and the set wins.
Hand 36 [6s 6h] HJ T9.7K 100/200
UTG2 min-raises [as ac], and gets calls from me and both blinds ([tc jd] and [ah 7h], respectively). The flop is [4c 2d 3c], which is tempting but everyone folds to a 1.2K c-bet.
Hand 37 [jd tc] UTG3 T9.3K 100/200
UTG2 limps in with [6d 8d] and I raise to 600. BB calls with [ah 3s] and UTG2 comes along. BB bets 950 on the [6c qc 4s] and I fold along with UTG2. Not sure why he folded his middle pair if he’s going to play those hands.
Hand 38 [jd qs] UTG2 T8.7K 100/200
I open to 500 and get called by HJ ([5d ad]), CO ([ah 3h]), and BB ([kc ts]). The flop is [6s ac 9s], I c-bet my air and CO and I are HU to see the [3c] turn. We both check, I bet 2K on the [8c] river, he calls, and his two pair wins.
Hand 59 [th qc] D T3.7K 150/300/30
I’ve had to lay low for a little while. Haven’t played a hand for more than twenty minutes. Been moved to seat 7 of a new table and I’m down to 12BB. Everyone else at the table has 40BB or more and seats 3 and 6 are more than 100BB deep. UTG1 limps [4c 4s]. UTG2 has [ah 5h] and makes it 900. CO 4-bets to 2.7K and I decide to throw in my fate with the Portland Nuts and shove. UTG1 and UTG2 fold. CO has [ac ad] and calls. The board runs out [jh 8d ks 2h 9h] and I make my straight for a double-up. It’s just a scratch for seat 6, but then he goes a little berserk and loses 11K on the next hand, raising and calling a 3-bet of 12BB with [ts 7s] pre-flop.
Hand 63 [9s as] UTG1 T9K 200/400/40
I opened to 1K and UTG2 3-bet to 3.9K with [jd td]. I called and made an open-ended straight draw on the flop with [7c 8d 6c]. With more than 6K in the pot, I shoved my remaining 5K and he called. On the face of it, he only had 26% equity, though cards discarded by other players slightly improved his odds. [8c] on the turn and [6h] for the river and I doubled up with an ace kicker.
Hand 65 [9d ts] BB T18.9K 200/400/40
UTG raised to 1.7K with [qs jh] (a decent hand). HJ called holding [qh as] (a decent-er hand). I plopped out the extra chips to call. The flop was [9c 7d 3s] and I took a stab at it, shoving 17K back. UTG went all-in for less with just two over cards. I had four to a straight on the [8s] turn, which meant he couldn’t win by pairing his jack, HJ had tossed one of the queens, so he was drawing slim and the [4h] river eliminated him.
Hand 70 [6c ac] UTG1 T34.2K 250/500/50
I opened to 1.25K and got called by BB with [7d 7c]. He jammed his remaining 8.5K on the [ks 6h 8c] flop. I had bottom pair and was on a roll. Hit the [as] on the turn, the river was [4c] and he was out.
Hand 72 [qs ah] BB T44.5K 250/500/50
UTG was all-in for just 1.3K with [9c ts]. CO called holding [ac 2h], then SB 3-bet to 5.6K with [5s 5c]. CO had 30K, SB a little less than 20K to start, so I squeezed with an all-in. CO folded and SB called. The board was [kd 8c qc 3d kc] and my queen saved the day. The table broke and I moved to seat three on the new table.
Hand 75 [qh as] UTG T66.8K 250/500/50
Different result with the same hand a couple minutes later. I raise to 1.25K, BB 3-bets to 7.5K with 8K behind, I shove, he calls he has [kh as], yadda, yadda, yadda, and I lose.
Hand 80 [6d ad] HJ T50.2K 250/500/50
Have I mentioned that at this point I’m fairly far ahead of anyone on my table? Seat 2 is empty. Seats 1, 5, and 7 have about 10K. Seat 6 is down to 5K. Seats 3, 8, and 9 are between 15K and 25K. I open to 1.25K, HJ calls with [6c 4c], CO comes along with [kd jh], and BB is in with [kh jd]. The flop is hardly conducive to anyone’s hand: [7h qd 9h]. We all check it down through the [2c] turn and [3d] river and ace high is the winner.
Hand 85 [td qh] D T53.4K 300/600/60
UTG limps with [4h ad] and just 6K. I raise to 1.8K. Everyone folds.
Hand 88 [9h jh] UTG2 T55.2K 300/600/60
My stack is more than twice as large as anyone else at the table. I open to 1.5K and SB calls with [7s 7h] off of the only stack with more than 20K. That brings BB along with [kd qh]. The flop is [5s ah as], both the blinds check it and I c-bet 2.2K. Only SB calls. We both check the [jc] turn and [5d] river and I get a little bigger.
Hand 105 [ac qc] UTG2 T57.7K 400/800/80
I raise to 2K and take it. Even though I’ve been fairly quiet for a while, nobody’s really chipped up. The closest stack is in seat 8 (SB) who has 27.5K after the hand.
Hand 108 [ac th] BB T59.2K 400/800/80
UTG1 min-raises, I call, he c-bets 1.6K on the [9h 9c 3c] flop, I call, we check [4d] on the turn and [qs] on the river, he shows [as tc] and we split the pot. Nice hand, nice hand….
Hand 110 [tc js] D T59.2K 400/800/80
I raise to 2K and SB calls with [9d th]. Effective stack is 12.2K before the hand starts. He bets 3K on the [ah jd 8s] flop with his open-ended straight draw, essentially committing his stack. I shove, he calls his remaining 7K and the turn is [2d] with [jh] on the river. Win for me.
Hand 130 [th ks] UTG T67.7K 600/1.2K/120
A whole level goes by with no action from me. There is now a stack in seat 7 (I’m in 3) with 104K. I open to 2.8K, getting calls from UTG2 ([qh jd]) and CO ([qd tc]). Everyone checks the [ah ac as] flop. The turn is [jh], I check, UTG2 makes a bet of 2.4K and wins.
Hand 132 [tc qh] SB T63.5K 600/1.2K/120
There’s a 1BB stack in seat 1 (CO) and a 4BB stack on seat 4 in the BB. D in seat 2 has just doubled up to 61K.UTG3 fancy-play raises to 4.8K with [6d 7s]. CO goes all-in with [ad qd] . I call the raise, then BB shoves for 1.2K more with [2c td], hoping to get max alue if they hit. UTG3, the original raiser, started the hand with 30K and makes the call, as do I. We check the board down as it reveals [ts jd 8c 7d 3h]. I take the pot and side pot.
Hand 133 [9c as] D T76.7K 600/1.2K/120
I open to 2.8K, get called by BB with [7d ad], and we see the flop of [6d 5c ac]. He donk-bets 2.4K with 27K behind, I raise to 6K and he folds.
Hand 135 [ah kc] HJ T82.5K 800/1.6K/160
UTG limps in with [qh 8h]. I raise to 5K and he’s the only caller. The flop is [kd 8d jh]. He checks, I bet 8K with TPTK and he shoves for 21.2K. It costs me 13.1K to call and the board runs out a pair of threes: [3d 3s]. The 56K pot puts me over 100K and near the top of the leaderboard.
Hand 137 [th kd] UTG1 T112.1K 800/1.6K/160
I raise to 4K, SB shoves 21.4K with [kc qs] and I fold.
Hand 141 [3h ah] D T105.1K 800/1.6K/160
UTG1 limps with [ts qd]. I limp in since SB is in shoving/squeezing territory with 20K, and sure enough that’s what he does with [9d 9c]. He takes the pot.
Hand 144 [ks qh] UTG2 T103K 800/1.6K/160
I open to 5K, SB—one of what are now three 100K stacks at the table, with the addition of one in seat 2—calls, as does BB, with 27.3K.The flop is [js 7s 3s], SB checks, BB shoves for 22.2K, I call with my king-high spade draw, and SB folds. A pair of tens shows up by the river, giving BB a full house.
Hand 146 [jh as] UTG T75.4K 1K/2K/200
I open to 5K and the guy I just doubled up in D position shoves 68.3K. Leveling or inducing? Inducing, as it seems, since when I call he has [kc kd]. I do have some outs, but none of them show up on the [qd 7s 2s 9h 6d] board and I’m just about toast after being in great position ten hands earlier.
Hand 147 [kd 2h] BB T7K 1K/2K/200
With 3.5BB, I’m not sticking around long if I don’t do something. UTG3 limps with [5s ac]. D and SB limp with [td 9c] and [3h 6s]. I check. [ad 4h 5d] and UTG3 has two pair, so he bets 6K. SB calls with an open-ended straight draw, He calls. I, amazingly, have a gutshot. I call and aI’m all-in. [8c] on the turn, UTG bets 14K and SB goes away. But the [3c] river makes my wheel and I’m back in business, taking the bulk of the pot.
Hand 160 [2s as] HJ T17.1K 1.25K/2.5K/250
I shove and win.
Hand 171 [9s 8s] UTG1 T15.1K 1.5K/3K/300
Blinds coming round again. 5BB stack. Shove time and I take it.
Hand 179 [jc th] UTG2 T15.4K 1.5K/3K/300
Blinds coming round again. 5BB stack. Shove time and I take it.
Hand 188 [9h 9c] UTG2 T15K 2K/4K/400
UTG raised to 21.2K with [qd qs]. I went all-in to call, and just as it should most of the time, the better hand won. After being on top o the leader board briefly, I bust two places short of the money.
VPIP: 19%. PFR: 13%. Went to showdown with more than 50% of VPIP hands. Won 66% of showdowns.
Three hours and fifteen minutes. 188 hands. 56th of 459 entries. -100% ROI.

WSOP Event #28 $1.5K NLHE Monster Stack Day 2
The second day of the Monster Stack came to an end with 272 players remaining from the 7,192 who started. 20 of the players remaining in the field are from the Pacific Northwest, including two of the top six. Wayne Keller of Washington is second in chips with more than 1.25M; Yao Sun of British Columbia is in sixth place to start Day 3, with just over 1.1M.
Ninety of the 132 players making Day 2 didn’t get into the money. Among those who did were BC’s Trevor Hughes, who managed to survive from just 6,100—last place on the PNW chip count (2,036th overall) after Day 1 and less than half the starting stack—to get into the money at 703rd. Busting not long after him was Terrance Kalaf, who started Day 2 24th in chips (first among PNW players) but exited in 694th.
Michael Wimberly (WA) and Jaqueline Burkhart (OR) were at the top of the chip counts early on; both are still well-placed for Day 3. And friend of the blog Robert Brewer is in the money in his first WSOP event of the season.
