PokerStars pro Steve Paul-Ambrose gets in WCOOP time when he can.
by Steve Paul-Ambrose
My WCOOP has been pretty uneventful poker-wise thus far. My now two week old daughter has made sure of that!
I did however get a chance to host the final table of what will surely be the largest field tournament this WCOOP. Over 15,000 players entered Event 6, with three turning $100 into more than $100,000.
In a lot of ways it was a crazy final two tables. A number of players had big chip leads and saw them disappear. The most ridiculous hand (probably of the entire WCOOP) came heads-up. No deal had been made so they were playing for the bracelet and about $50,000. Not a bad time to get quads against an overfull.
That's exactly what vakAAttack did for all the chips. Seemed a fitting end to a tournament where more than 15,000 players busted in less than 10 hours.
As for the rest of my WCOOP, I've only played three events so far, all of them last Sunday. I had chips early in two of the three before some ill-advised bluffs and running AK suited into AA left me with just a min-cash to show for the day.
Things are starting to calm down at home now so expect to see me at the tables a fair bit the rest of the way. I'll also be hosting a couple more final tables, and hopefully playing at least one as well. Good luck the rest of WCOOP.
See you at the tables!
