NYC, Boston and Foxwoods
Thursday, November 19, 2009 - Liv Boeree
Well Foxwoods is over and no WPT title for me this time but it was a lot of fun. My first day I had Lee Markholt to my right along with Ted Ely, Terrance Chan who were also on my table. I lost a big pot very early on to Terrance with 88s where I bluffed one too many streets but made it back to starting stack and then won a decent pot where I turned the nut flush and had my opponent bluff of a significan amount on all three streets (I check to him each time as he had position) and he took the bait on the river with an over pot sized bet – as the board was paired I was only gonna call and it turned out he had King high – lovely! I ended up finishing day 1 with around 40k which was pretty comfortable. Day 2 looked like it was gonna be really good as I had a pretty soft table of unknowns (except for Brock Parker on my left which wasn’t fun) however I lost quite a big pot to a lady who flopped the nut straight vs my top pair top kicker (yes, she called a raise out the BB with 10-7 off) and it came J 9 8 and then I whiffed every other hand after that resulting in me getting short and reshoving over an aggressive late position raiser that didn’t work out my way… Anyway, after that a group of us WPT rejects headed on a roadtrip which has now just bought me to NYC where I am presently. On the way we stopped off in Boston and had a raucous night involving Uncle Kracker and Train (don’t ask) at the House of Blues and then a long ass bus journey to NY. I need a night off!! Coming up next week is the USPC and a deepstack tourney at the Borgata in Atlantic City which will be my first time there too, can’t wait!

I just saw you with Queens get beat against an unlucky Ace on the turn, in the Pokermillion. Your blogs pretty intense, you really understand the game.
