I got sick of watching these guys play, and decided to enter a $125 satellite to the $1,000 WSOP event that was taking place on Tuesday. I'll keep this story short, as it is a painful memory for me. I was really hoping to get to play in a WSOP event, and this satellite was my chance to do just that. It was a 10 man satellite where first place received entry to the $1,000 event the next day. I was kicking ass and playing about as well as I know how. I got down to heads up, and got KK all in preflop against AQ. Long story short, my opponent hit his A, and knocked me out the next hand (after I was left with basically nothing when my KK was cracked). I win that KK hand, and I'm in the Event #44 that took place on Tuesday, which had a $180k first place prize. That woulda been a great experience to simply just "play". But I guess it wasn't my time - and I sure as hell wasn't planning on putting up the $1,000 directly for the event. I am convinced that if I continue to outclass my opponents, great things are going to happen to me in the poker world. I just need to keep a level-head and stay patient. It won't be long.
Pretty distraught after what happened in the satellite, I decided to call it a night - and put an end to one of the most eventful days of my life.
