It’s a wonderful time in my little corner of the world. If I could just avoid the impending change of weather towards Winter than it would be pretty close to perfect. I’ll be fighting ol Mother Nature on my terms this year, it will be the tropics or the desert for this middle aged degenerate. The sporting world is in full swing around me, my favorite baseball team is in the playoffs trying to defend their title, football (the American version) is a quarter of the way through their season, professional hockey is underway, and I was able to watch live as my beloved Chelsea schooled the Scousers in the EPL (spell check doesn’t understand “scousers”. Neither do I).
The poker world is also primed for another burst of activity. The WSOPE just crowned themselves a new champion, there are WPT, EPT, and other tournaments across the globe drawing crowds looking for the big score. The big bang is just a few short weeks away when the 2009 World Series of Poker Champion is determined at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The anticipation is beginning to grow and your humble blogger is making his plans to be there when it goes down.
There also looks to be some carryover from the latest run of big online tournaments. The Big Money Sunday tournaments drew a huge crowd yesterday with all blasting past their guarantee prizepool. There were some big names running deep in the fields and plenty of action. Early on I was railing Matt “All in at 420″ Stout and Lee “acumen53″ Childs in the $750k hoping for one of my Borgata regulars to hit big again. The both made the money with Stout giving me the best chance before crashing out in 16th. The best run by a Full Tilt pro on the day was from Martin Klaeser who just missed the Sunday Mulligan final table going out in 11th.
The most interesting name of the evening came out of nowhere. I only marginally keep an eye on the $200,000 Double Deuce these days because the field is monstrous and it’s very rare to see the same names near the top on a regular basis and even less to see a big name at the top. Dutch “Dutchalicious” Boyd was just cruising along without anyone paying him much attention, it’s my job to rail the tournaments and I didn’t even realize he was running deep in the Double Deuce. The WSOP bracelet winner can be a polarizing character for those with a long poker memory, it’s not often you can find someone who doesn’t have an opinion on the player. With all that aside, Boyd had a shot to outlast nearly 11,000 other players and pocket over $34,000. That is only $1,000 shy of the amount he earned for taking down FTOPS XII Event #19 during the spring.
Boyd was unable to complete the feat finishing in 5th place. Characterizing some of the play common during the Double Deuce, the tournament was eventually won by Dannish player leking1 who displayed some of the worst poker moves I’ve witnessed in my long life. Fortunately for me, I don’t believe leking1 will be tracking me down to dispute my opinion. It is truly a entertaining and frustrating tournament to witness.
Please come back later this week as I will be joined by a few blogger friends as we begin to handicap and preview the upcoming November Nine matchup.
