The Juice goes to the WSOP!

So old Davey made the trip to "Lost Wages, Nevada" for the WSOP and I understand that neither will ever be the same..... He asked me to BLOG it for him since he is so technologically challenged! I'll try to do this from some quick notes....

Dave's day one began with the Juice playing only quality hands.... I can only assume that means the Q, 3 was suited... LOL. No, he told me that he played only quality hands and very tight all day, 100@ solid, no bluffing. At one point the had accumulated about $19,600 in chips.... The hand that did him came at 9:05PM of his first day. He is in late position with Qh, Jh and calls the $600 blind with about $11,700 in chips. The flop is Ah, Kh, 5h and the big blind bets $600 and Dave raises to $1200 WITH the NUT FLUSH and the Royal Flush re-draw..... Sweet! The big blind pushes all in for about $7,600 and of course Dave calls and I think any of us would call at that point. The big blind turns over AKos and hits the King on the turn. The general consensus of the table was that the guy was an idiot and just got lucky..... But, Dave still has an out.... the old 10h. And I'm sure that he were playing it against me, he would have hit it, but the river was a brick.... The next hand with only about $2300 in chips, he gets AJos and pushes all in and gets a caller with I believe that he said pocket 10's. The board came 6,6,6,4,2.... So the low got there!

The rest of the story is perhaps the best part.... as Dave pushed all-in, he appropriately stood up when he was called and his tournament life was on the line. Once the final card hit, a muffled announcement came over the PA and applause errupted. Dave thought that perhaps the announcer had gotten word that "The Juice" has just busted out and as he looked around, he saw no one else standing up but him and most people applauding and looking in his general direction.... So he gives a royal wave before he looks behind where he was standing to see Doyle Brunson exiting from the tournament having just busted out as well and waving politely to folks applauding.... I hope ESPN got that.....

At any rate, we're glad to have you back..... yep, when Dave left Nevada and came to NC, the average IQ dropped in both states......

Back to the felt!
