This year's World Series of Poker has over 8000 entries and 4 "first days." Phil Helmouth and Doyle Brunson have already been knocked out, though Helmouth did get his 10th championship bracelet in an event earlier in the week. That leaves Helmouth, Brunson and Johnny Chan tied for the most bracelets ever at 10 apiece. Helmouth went out with A/Q vs. 7/7. Been there done that. Been on the other side, too. Of course, then the board came AAQQA. <G> I pulled one Helmouth would have loved yesterday. I was down to heads up in a sit and go tournament, and had 2/2. I was shorter stacked than the other guy and the blinds were sky high. I only bet deuces under special circumstances, but I had to take a stand or risk being blinded off. So, I went all in. The other guy turned over 9/9 and I started making noises about good game and congrats and I hope your dog dies of rabies after he bites you <G>, when the flop came. 2/2/6. Whoa, baby, it is better to be lucky than good. I ended up rallying from there and winning the SNG. The other player was a gentleman and did not cuss me for sucking out. That's rare online.
