A Paul Wolfe Update
I caught up with Paul Wolfe at the dinner break. After getting extremely lucky to double up and stay alive, Paul has managed to build his stack. He told me about his day:
JG: How did you accumulate chips?
PW: Playing bad and catching. [laughs] Three times I raised and got re-raised with hands I couldn’t call with – A-7, A-9. Then there was a raise on the button; I re-raised with A-K and he laid it down. Another time I re-raised a late position raise with A-4, and I took that down. Then there was a raise and a call. I re-raised with A-K and took that down. Then I had A-9, raised and was called by a blind. The flop was King-high. He checked, and I bet out and he folded.
That’s it. I haven’t shown down a hand in four hours of play. I’ve played a total of one flop.
JG: How’s your table.
PW: It’s good. Josh Arieh’s at my table. He good, but other than that I love my table. We had a girl call a guy down with Ten-Four. She thought she had Ace-Ten. There was an Ace on the flop. What a look on her face when she saw the four – total shock.
JG: How are you planning on playing the coming levels?
PW: If I don’t have to show a hand, that would be great. I haven’t had a pocket pair since the first level of the day. Hopefully my cards will pick up.
JG: Best of luck.
PW: Thanks.
