Well I was poking around yesterday with a goal of making it into the 150 and 100 seat guaranteeds at PokerStars and Full Tilt respectively when I came across a $1 rebuy with 1 main event seat guaranteed on Bodog. Since there were only 700 people signed up, I knew there was going to be a huge overlay so I threw my hat in the ring. Well I ended up in this tournament for $2 total and just kinda poked my way along until before I knew it we were under 100, then under 50 people left. Once it got under 50, I started to think I had a real shot at getting a WSOP seat for less than a cup of Starbucks coffee. Then came “the hand”. I was a little bit below average chip stack with 40,000 and was in middle position with KK. The big stack at the table with about 230K raised it to 6,000 (blinds were 1K/2K). I think about just pushing since it will be damn near half my stack, but decide to just reraise to 18K. If I get called, I am capable of getting away from it on a dangerous flop like AJJ or something. Well, unexpectedly, he reraises me all in. My spidey senses did start tingling a big, but I knew I was gonna have to double up to make a run at this so I was happy to get all in preflop with KK. Well of course, he had AA and no magic happened, so I went out 45th and so goes my dream of the $2 WSOP seat . Actually I have another shot at it tomorrow since they are having another one of these. Look for me on Bodog if you are playing.
