LOL 10K PLOAMENTS!

So today Rob, Devin and I headed to the wynn to play some cash. We got there and realized the 50-name long waitlist just wasnt gonna cut it, so after meeting up with Rob's friend and hanging at Bally's, we headed to the Rio to sweat Jonas (Riverboatking) in the 10k pot limit omaha WSOP world championship event. Jonas is an absolutely sick player both at PLO and NLH and despite him being a cash game player (this is just his 5th live mtt ever!), he was chip leader from 70-17 players left when he took a hit against the biggest fish at the table in two pretty big pots, and against Doyle Brunson with 14ish left for a lot of chips as well. The donkey cold called a pot size pf open with AJT5 rainbow and they got it in on a QhTh5 flop. OBV. The donkey later busted someone when he was obviously up against the nut straight on a flop check/raise all in when he had a bare flush draw, and drawing to just seven outs (AI player had 2 hearts for the straight flush draw as well), of course hits again.
We went to dinner with Jonas, he got his game back on, and he was still ready to go and playing solid poker. Finally, the 10 player final table bubble busted with David Chiu going out in 10th to the big donkey when his AAxx got cracked by ATJ8 double suited on a J8x flop. gg David.

Even though the stacks are shallow when they ended blinds tonight at 15k/30k, Jonas is 6th/9 going into the final table and is probably the 2nd best player at the table next to Patrick Antonius. The final table lineup is: Brunson, Antonius, Marco Traniello, Jonas, Robert Mizrachi, and a couple of no names. Sick sick final table, and ill be there tommorow with the gang to sweat and watch as 2p2 [hopefully] FINALLY takes a bracelet. gogogog RBK! Thanks for reading.
