Masida Goes WSOPE!!

After I got knocked out of the of the OFC buyin I played a few other games before I went to bed. One of them was a "WSOPE2009 invitational freeroll" at Betfair. Prizepool was $ 0 (little strange) but it was a freeroll, so lets go. Everybody went allin with the first 5 hands and I was still alive with a 10K chipstack. I was't paying to much attention to the game, because there was no prizepool and I was playing 2 other final tables at Landshark and Rio's.

When there where about 25 people left and my stack was decreased til 10K i went allin with ATs against AA and KK and I flopped 2 tens and I went on Got QQ twice in a row and collected some chips and made it til the final table.

In the main time I made it to the HU in both other games, and I lost them both >:(





So only 1 screen open in a freeroll without a prizepool. I was searching internet and found the prizepool of last years Betfair invitational freeroll:
- 1st gets $550 seat in the Sunday WSOP Europe final
- 2nd and 3rd get $55 WSOP Europe Level 2 seats
- 4th till 9th get $5.50 WSOP Europe Level 1 seats
So I thought if I'd win anything, it would be something like that. But still no guarantees. Everybody at the final table was asking what we could win, and nobody could give a clear answer.

I just played on and I was one of the shorstacks at the table, when I found 77. I called a shove from another shorstack and won the coinflip. A few hands later I got KK in the small blind, everybody folds, I limped in to the big blind and I expected a shove. He did with 2 livecards, but he didn't hit I was ganing on the chipleader when I found A5 and called the chipleader. Flop A55, I checked, Chipleader raises allin with A4 and I call with my Full house. Former chipleader donks the rest of his chips to me too, and all of a sudden I was HU with a 3 to 1 chiplead. First hand in the HU villain shoves and I found 33. I couldn't win anything so I called He showed AJ, flopped a J but I turned a 3 for the victory.



I send an e-mail to Betfair about the game and that nobody knew what we could win, and I went to bed. Didn't hear anything on monday, so I send a new e-mail. And tuesday night I got this:

I gonna sell some %% of the buyin (50% max), so if you're interested, keep watching this thread or send me a PM

We still on for a meet up and a beer or two Mas?

So your in for Event 1 Mas???
i'll take 10%

As most of you already know in September I’m taking off to London to play event 1 of the WSOPE with a ticket I won in a WSOPE invitational freeroll at Betfair. I’m busy arranging hotel and flight atm, but because the event is way above my bankroll I have decided to sell some %.

The events buyin is GBP 1060 and I will sell pieces of 1% p.p. with a 50% maximum. First come, first go. I sell % private and at other pokerplaces, but I will announce everywhere when I sold 50% and to whom, so everybody knows if I sold to much

There can be paid through Neteller or Pokerstars. My pokerstars-nick is Masida78 and for my Neteller you can send me a PM, so I’ll send you everything you need to know.

I sell 1% for $ 17,50, EUR 12,50 or GBP 11,=. Rounded amount to keep it easy, your choice how to pay, you can choose between the 2 methods.

As said I’ll place a list with backers. I’ll also post some hands or special things at the pokerforum, a pokerblog or Twitter. Pokernews.com will do liverreporting in London and the WSOP-site itself will have a chipcount or something like that too. More info about the tournament is on http://betting.betfair.com/poker/wsop-europe/ en http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/tourney/tourneydetails.asp?groupid=668.

You can find my pokerstatts at OPR http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/Masida78/poker/results/CE0306D645EF4805911D1F9EA8BCB741.html?t=2 and sharkscope (Masida @ PartyPoker, Masida78 @ Stars), but these results are mainly from this year. Before this year I mainly played freerolls (since 2007) and won a lot of $ in these. This month I played 2 bigger Dutch live-events, the Venlo VIP-days Summer Classics, the EUR 100 1R1A and the 50 rebuy. Unfortunately I finished those at place 100 and 48. And now it has to happen in London for a for me unknown buyin, but shipped as a freeroll, it stays a freeroll

If you’re interested or have questions, post the questions in this thread or send me a PM. If you want to send money through your pokerstars-account you can do it through a playertransfer or else you can send me a PM. I’ll post it here first, so you have some time to back me first, if I post it first on another Dutch forum I think the % will go to fast.
