Here is where it all melted.
I have 196k returning from break. 8k/16k level.
I am the BB in Hold’em.
First hand I see one flop in w/8
6
when calling a CO raise from the BB and ch/fold a QTT all red flop. I have 180k chips.
Next Hand.
Folded to me in the SB and raise with Q
9
and Jimmy (mig.com) 3-bets the BB, I call. (-24k)
Flop: 7
T
J
BOOYA!
I check-raise (-16k)
Turn: 2
bet/call (-16k)
River: T
bet……………..tank………count down of his chips, look at the clock…………………..call.
He has Ac9c, and the table is surprised but helluva call anyway. (-16k)
I have 108k.
VERY NEXT HAND
Folded to me on the button I raise A
J
, Jimmy-mig.com 3-bets the SB!!!, I call (-24k)
Flop: 7
8
T
, he bets I call. (-8k)
Turn: K
, he bets, I think about rasing but I’d rather make 2-bets on the river and not pay 3 to see, and call. (-16k)
River: 3
, he bets, I fold. 
And there I am. Grinded to a nub in 3 ****ing hands.
I am left w/60k.
Funny I stole the blinds in the NEXT hand in Hold’em w/A
T
and got to 72k. Then played some sick hands in Razz after, maybe saw on flop in O8, c/f.
This is all after running a Stud-Hi Squeeze play earlier.
Mickey opens w/a T
6, 6, 2, 3, all fold and TStoneMBD re-raises w/a 9:daimond: and I have 5
as a door and I snap-3-bet, (A
5
)5
as I know Mickey will fold a T here, and TStone might even fold a 9 here thinking I can only play an over-pair this way.
Bring folds, Folded by Mickey and back to TStone and he thinks for ever and folds. And I show him the 5. 
I played some of the best poker of my life. Against the best in the world.
It was a fantastic opportunity and I feel like I’ve improved immensely watching the best. Hopefully I’ll have time to write up more. I just hope to not run as bad next time if I get the opportunity.
Thanks for your support everyone,
Joe
There are 67 left. We should run up to the money today, or close. (16) I played very well and hope to catch some cards to keep up with the pack. I have a decent seat today.

Mike is an excellent player. East Coast High Stake guy who I’ve played with. There are a couple of PLO internet players and two really short stacks.
Run good on my time please, dealer!
Run good one time! I am really focused and may make some updates on FTSweat.com but no promises.
Ok, it’s my time.
I took a huge gamble with 28% equity to try to get the chip lead. I had 2345 but was pretty sure one of my opponents had X666, and there was one Ace out. I tried to jam out the other low on 4th and got committed a bit. Either way, I didnt get there obv. I still had chips left as they jammed themselves all in and I had them covered. I make 1/2 or scoop that pot, I would have been in great shape. I busted out 40th.
I am debating playing the Omaha event today. It’s the $10k World Championship event. I am unsure as of this morning but may come around to it.
Day 2 of the World Championship Stud8 Tournament. You can find updates at www.ftsweat.com and http://www.deucescracked.com/forums/24-WSOP-Vegas-2008
My good friend and fellow founder of DeucesCracked, Chris Vitch, aka DeathDonkey is at the final table of the $10,000 buy-in LHE event.
