Was that it??

Yes Im sad to say it was, after 13 hours with 2 hours left for the end of the day I went out. :(

I got a bad beat just in the beginning with my KK and was fast down to 7000 chips.
I kept myseft there for about 12 hours a little up and a little down until I finally was at around 6000 chips, I get dealt AK in the small blind.

UTG raises the blind(300+25 ante) to 1200.
Everyone folds upto me.
Being pretty shortstacked(average about 20k at the time) I move all in.
He calls me and show pocket 10

Flop is: A J 5

But alas

Turn: 10
River: 6

And EgonOlsen is out of this years WSOP. :(

1 neat thing though, I had Howard Lederer at my table all night, he went bust about 2 hours before I did.
Phil Hellmut and Doyle Brunson also went out today while I was still there.

All in all I dont regret much of my moves. I had AK 4 times, the 3 first I hit nothing on the flop and had to fold.
2 times KK, 1 i lost in the beginning and 1 later that I won preflop with a reraise.

I also got to bust out 1 other player when he moved all in on the button and I called him with AQ flom the big blind. He had K6.

So it was a great experience even though I am a bit sad atm not making the last 2 hours of the day. 10.000 people is in this year, I went out at about no. 1000 out of 2400 today. :(

Live from vegas

Finally I arrived in Vegas after 20 hours travel.
After I got here I hooked up with Mada1970 from poker.com and with him and his friend bags we went to The Rio.
I got signed up for the Main event, gonna play on day 2, the 29th.
Then we just hung around looking at the games and all the darn pretty persons of the female sex here. and there is a lot. *lol*
I got to say hello to Men "the master" nice little fella. :) and saw a few og the other well known guys(Helmut, Raymer and Moneymaker)
I must say hooking up with Mada was a great idea, the guy has no shame so we also got VIP passes to the websites stands in the big hall even though it was not open yet. Seems they award boldness here a lot.
We also hit the driving range where we got to drive a Corvette and a Pontiac Solstice, very neat cars.
Im so happy every single building here have Aircon, because its so darn hot you can hardly breathe outside.

Later Mada and I went back to the Sahara and joined a little tournament with about 159 people in it and here I got my first bad beat. *lol* Guy moves all in preflop and I have AA on the button.
I call him ofcourse and he shows J4, but but. 4 on the flop, a J on the River and I got my first AA busted. :( that halved my stack and after that my cards also died. With blinds at 3k I had to make a move with my A9 suit UTG, but I got called by the chipleader with AQ and I was out in 38th place. money for 11 only.

Now Im waiting to get contact to the poker.com guys and see whats planned for today.
More updates to come later.

SignUps for the freeroll

There seems to be some confusion as to how you need to sign up for it.

I got a lot of emails from people requesting the password, yet I dont have a single new sign up under me.

So either people dont get the point or poker.com made some mistake.

Let me say again, you need to sign up to poker.com using my link. This means IF you already have an account on poker.com you can NOT join in the freeroll.

Since no one figured that out? I will check to see if poker.com made a mistake and if they did, I will make a new freeroll at a later date.

But make sure you did it right or I can not invite you to the freeroll.

Sorry if this all was unclear to you.

Brgds

Egon

Bad timing for a bad beat streak.

Ok this week have just been terrible. in every tournament I have played I have ended 1-4 places from the money.
IN EVERY SINGLE ONE.

and now to cap it I lost 2 hands to suckouts and just went out of the 1000$ GTD.
Man I hope this will not go on in Vegas

How do you like those 2 hands?

Second day on the Lassur.dk Leaderboard

Did not go so well as I had hoped.

In the wednesday Leaderboard I made only 4 points, but since I became second last time Im still 3rd overall.

In the highroller(the 10k GTD) I ended 43 after a field of 137, getting me 0 points. :( Points start at no. 40
But after my 5th place last time Im also still 3rd on that leaderboard. Good thing is 2 Lassur.dk users made the money in 8th and 5th places. Very nice.

So a pretty slow week for me, Seems to get donked everytime I pickup a good hand, no luck this week. Lets see the next. :P

Another grinding day

Made a little more cash to donk away in vegas.

Around 600 Euro on point in the 10k Tourney
and 500 Dollars on Poker.com after getting 3rd in a 3$ NL and winning the 1k Guaranteed.

Not bad playing lowstakes. :)

And I booked my hotel for vegas after talking to Mada from poker.com that is also going.

Sahara it became.
http://www.saharavegas.com/

Nice enough I suppose and not too pricey. :)
Now off to find a flight, darn they got up fast in prices.

Life goes on

Ok, now all the planning. Im really bad at that kinda stuff. So many hotels to choose from and I have no clue where they are. I dont want one 50 miles away from the playing field. *lol*

But think I have settled for this one.
http://www.travelstart.dk/view.jsp?supplier=TO&hotel=3874&city=LAS

Its as good as any other and with the Plane ticket pretty much taking all the spending money, its also not too expensive. Im just glad I won that 4k Euro earlier in the week, so I can afford to live too. *lol*

Then there is Visa, man is that complicated, I dont even get half of what I have to do. :D
but I will sort it out...I hope. :)

Well on to planning. :)

When Dreams come true

Ok, my week just culminated with my greatest win ever...

Wednesday: Won Highroller Leaderboard on lassur.dk. 400 Euro
Thursday: 2nd place in the 25k Guaranteed on Pointpoker. 4228 Euro
Thursday: Winning satellite to the 60k Guaranteed on Pointpoker.
Friday: 5th in the BloggerTour Qualifier getting me a ticket to the Grand Final on Poker.com
Saturday: ..........

WON A WSOP SEAT YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yeah baby, WSOP HERE I COME....

One of the biggest dreams for all online pokerplayers and its all MINE. :D

After playing 4+ hours in the Grand Final I manage with some luck I must admid to win the headsup after pretty much being one of the chipleaders through the whole tournament.

Since poker.coms hand history is not working at the moment I will try to recap the 2 deciding hands from the HU to the best I remember, which might not be all precise.

Going into to HU against OhioMike i was shortstacked, about 50k to his 150k in chips.
Knowing I had to doubble fast, since I knew he would raise all my BBs I tried to be agressive, which is hard being lowstacked.
But my cards was totally dead, nothing but 85 and 74..
I had 65 suit so I decided to reraise his initial raise to my BB which he called.

Flop Q 6 3 (i think, dont remember the unimportant cards)

I took a chance here and went all in, desperate for the extra chips, but alas, he called and showed Q2
Now at this point I kinda gave up in my mind

Turn: 9

River: 5 Yes baby, I hit the 2 pair on the river, doubling instead of getting a new monitor.

This hand put us on even terms and after a little back and forth I became a slight chipleader.

Final hand:

Im dealt J9 in BB
Mike clickraise my BB which I call.

Flop: Q 9 6
I decide to bet on that one and he moves all in on me.
I though a bit seeing VEGAS everywhere and said out loud to the 7 people standing around me, NO HE BLOODY DID NOT HIT THE Q AGAIN and I called.

Mike showed A6 suit and I felt I had it.

And yes no help for either on turn and river and EGON IS GOING TO VEGAS

Thanks everyone for coming to watch the game and Specially to poker.com and pokerbloggertour for giving me this chance to make a dream come true.

Lassur.dk users and Poker.com Forumteams, specially Blind Bullies. YOU ARE THE BEST

ok thats all I can handle now, if I missed something its only because I cant think clearly.

Watch out Vegas, Egon is coming to crack your safe. Yeah Baby, you know it. ;)

60k Guaranteed

And today I manage to become 1st in the 60k Satellite getting me a ticket for that tourney 20th of July.

Im on a roll. :P

My best win so far

Yesterday was a great day for me.

Came 2nd in a freeroll on Pointpoker. Felt good and wanted to play the 25k later, but did not have enough for the buy in.
22 min before it started I played a SnG, after 21 minutes I won it and just had enough for the 25k

To make a long store short I came 2nd in it netting 4228 Euro....

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
