$3,000 H.O.R.S.E. event, $3,000 NL Event
I am writing from Event #29, the $3,000 NL Event. Since I have last posted, we finished event #22, the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. event. Jens Voertmann won the event, but it was a fantastic final table with Marcel Luske, Steve Zolotow, Hoyt Corkins, and Jennifer Harman. Out of those four, only Marcel had any real shot to win as he finished 3rd. He was up and down a long time but finally his loose style caught up to him. I am glad that Voertmann won out of the two left, especially after one hand late. Doug Ganger and Voertmann were playing a hand of Omaha Hi-Lo where Ganger slowrolled Voertmann. After that hand, it was as if Voertmann said, “Ok, we play now.” He just flattened Ganger after that point.
Today, I am covering the $3,000 NL event. Some big names, but a lot of the top tier names are over in the $10,000 Limit Event. I would much rather be there, but I guess I have to do time in the NL jail. Actually, it’s not too bad to cover. Its actually simple. I think thats the point. Its so simple a game that after a while, everything is routine.
After this event, in three days I cover the $10,000 Omaha 8 or Better World Championship. That should be a lot of fun. The only down side to all this is that I am beginning to miss some of my friends, which was to be expected.
Unless I make a last minute change, I probably wont play in a WSOP event this year. I am planning on playing the Stud 8 or Better event down at Binion’s on the 24th, but right now anything else will depend on my schedule and how I feel. I may hang around and play over at the Orleans open next month, but I haven’t decided.
Anyway, I will try and write again before the end of the 3k event, but this event isn’t all that exciting.
