#795 – 2009 WSOP #53 – Vegas on $2,000 a Day #8 – Daddy’s STILL Got Chips
It’s 4 AM and I just got home after playing Day 2 of the $2,500 Razz. I made it into the money and broke my long cashless streak at the WSOP, stretching back to early in the 2008 Series, after I cashed in the $5,000 Mixed Hold ‘Em. I lost nearly all my chips on one disastrous hand after we got into the money, but rebounded to end the day with 102,000. There are 13 players left and I have roughly half the chip average.
I’ll make every effort to wake up in a few hours and complete the Daily Tily before going to play … but the road to hell is, likewise, paved with good intentions. If I’m unable to complete the Daily Tilt, I will do so after I’m done playing Day 3 and whatever else happens, catching you up on all the Full Tilt pro action as well as how I finished in the Razz. Finally, Shauna has transcribed about a half-dozen blogs for me, which I have to edit before I can post – I expect to get to that after the Razz, too.

Good luck, Michael.
I think you’ve got a great shot at winning this, if someone kidnaps Lisandro.
I wish this event was offering a live feed.

I had to pull your book out to see who wrote the chapter on Razz.
If Ted Forrest (and Huck too) aren’t sweating you at the rail, I’d be disappointed.
I love the first paragraph of the Razz chapter:
Razz, a thoroughly frustrating form of poker, is currently exacting its cruelist revenge in history: despite all reasonable efforts to assure its extinction, it refuses to die.
