Quest of a Closet Poker Player

Lucko is back up to 49k while sprstoner sits at 39k after an early confrontation with quads. He lost the battle.

The 3s at Table 40.

The 1s. I interviewed Chris, so I’ve got no interest in Lucko grabbing his scalp. Let’s let these guys attack the other end of the table.

Shawn has eighteen identical shirts, so the only thing that changes are his chips. Just saw that he busted with jacks vs 5-4s. He had a sick run of bad hands, but still a brutal ending.

JC Tran and Jeff Norman are Top Five in chips. Need to try and track down Shawn to debrief.

UPDATE 4:30PM

Lucko is up to 78k at a crazy table. “There are alot of really loose players. Everyone wants to play with Moneymaker, and he wants to play ever pot.” He and Shawn went out back to chat. Shawn ran into a real series of dumb hands over the first two days, crazy plays when he had good hands. He lost every race against flush and straight draws, or he’d be in great shape.

UPDATE: 7:00PM

Chris Moneymaker is out, and Lucko has held steady at 75k. The 6s that took out Moneymaker is now the chipleader at the table, although there really aren’t big stacks there compared to other tables.

UPDATE:  9:35PM

I walk out to make a final run before heading to the house and Kevin is walking down the hall.  After his gutteral screams:  “I’d been waiting on this guy all day, he was playing like a total retard.  I raise, he calls.  Flop comes jack high, he gets all his money in with J-8, and I’ve got kings.  Jack on the turn, he catches a five-outer.  It was a 120k pot.”  I’m sure he’ll have the full recap, but as sick as it can get.
