I worked briefly with\u00a0Molly Anne Mossey<\/strong> during my stint as a poker reporter at the\u00a0Word Series of Poker<\/strong> back in 2016, and following her career arc\u2014mostly via Twitter, but every now and then in a news article with Jacki Burkhart<\/strong><\/a>\u2014since then, I was impressed enough to consider something I have only done three times in the past:\u00a0buying action<\/strong>. So I sent a couple of quick messages and shipped her enough to cover the 5% she was offering on her part of the\u00a0EPT Barcelona Main Event<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I’ve had pretty good luck with my stakes in the past. Years ago, I bought a friend into a game at\u00a0Encore Club<\/strong> just after he’d been laid off because I could sympathize. That didn’t pay off, but the next time he was selling action, I took a 10% piece of a\u00a0Muckleshoot <\/strong>main event and got a min-return out of it. Then I had a bit of Jacki’s\u00a0Poker Night in America<\/strong> cash game winnings, which made my overall action profit about even.<\/p>\n

It was all dwarfed by buying 5% (with markup) of Molly’s \u00e2\u201a\u00ac5,300 <\/b>\u00a0<\/strong>($5,875) EPT buyin. But by 1pm our time today, it had panned out. Molly had a tough start on Day 1B, but she had a couple of doubles\u2014including one just before the end of the day<\/a>\u2014that put her back over starting stack. So I’m stoked! There are 191 players left from the field of 1,988, Molly’s already made a couple of pay jumps, and despite a rough last level of Day 2, she’s bank on chip average going into Day 3.<\/p>\n

Lost 140k the last level of the night, but still managed to bag up 309,000* coming back to 3k\/6k tomorrow at noon for Day 3 of the #EPTBarcelona<\/a> @PokerStarsLIVE<\/a> Main Event. <\/p>\n

*Silver lining, still had enough chips so that my bag stood up on its own \u2764\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/erQHfoscHK<\/a><\/p>\n
