While I had 7 suckouts in the 5k NLH event #22 today one was enough to throw me out of the $2000 NLH event. Over 1,600 players entered, 153 in the money. With 250 players left I had to see Katja leaving, she lost half of her above average stack with in the small blind vs. in the big blind and then the rest of her stack with on a board with 2 spades vs. . She was left not even 5 minutes when I made my biggest, best laydown so far – I had and the board was and the action was so that I was sure to be beat and I open folded my aces and the guy showed his pocket – wow. Still, I had 30,000 left with an average ov 27,000 (that pot still costed me over 20,000). I found in middle position, a bad player on my left limped for 800, I made it 5,000 to go, he called. Flop came and he checked. I went all-in without any hesitation and he INSTACALLED, showing . Wow. For all his chips. Either great play or just crazy. I had the sympathy of the whole table and 900 chips left which I got in blind in the next hand, ready to start another race as two days before. But it was not to be as I ran into kings there and within 6 minutes I was from double average to nothing, leaving the room, stunned.

Tomorrow I will make a WSOP pause – there is only a $1,500 event which will be huge so I go and play a $5,000 event at the Bellagio cup.
