The next best thing to being at a final table is to watch a friend make it there. Shocking enough, Eric Baldwin made the WPT Championship final table. It was a final table with David Bennyamine, Billy Baxter, David Williams, and Sean Buchanan all joining him. Eric played really well and earned himselft a spot heads up for 1.5 million. David Williams had him at a 3 to 1 lead, and early on Eric 3 bet shoved for 23bbs with A5hh. Somehow David made the call with 22 and it was close to a flip going to the flop. The flop was A76 giving Eric a 8 to 1 advantage, but a 2 hit the turn and Eric was drawing dead. 2nd was good for 1 million and Eric's largest pay date. Congrats! With some of Eric's friend from back home and the drunken fools already here it should make for one of the best WPT episodes ever.
I played the 5K at Caesars yesterday. The field was pretty soft and I was fortunate to find some soft tables. I chiped up to 52K by dinner break (starting stack 25K). Then I got in a huge pot with Cantu when I held QQ vs his 88 all in pre flop. Board was QJ5....9.....10 giving him a straight. It was a 58K pot and I was devastated. I managed to work my stack up to as high as 90K before losing a wierd pot at the end of the night with 2nd pair. I ended the day with 65.5K. Day 2 starts in a hour.
