Go Ray!!

My good friend Ray Coburn made it to day two of the $2,000 pot-limit hold'em WSOP event, just the second lifetime WSOP event he's played. The event is down to 45 players. He's on a bit of a shortstack, but he's wicked good, so I'd say he's probably even money to take down the $270,000. I won't accept bets on him with those odds either... obv too +EV for you bitches. Do it, man!!



---------------------

Update: Ray made final table. He's the shortstack though and only has about 8 big blinds. I was thinking about flying out there early tomorrow morning to watch, but he's probably only worth about $40k right now, so I can't justify the $700 plane ticket (let alone the abandonment of EV in the online Sunday tournaments). Nonetheless, good luck to Ray. With an early double-up, he'd be in good shape to take this down. DO IT!

---------------------

Results: I was able to watch Ray at the final table with WSOP Live. For those of you who care a lot about tournament poker, WSOP Live is well worth the $50. Anyway, Ray played fine, but busted out in 8th after his 44 couldn't hold up against AK preflop (with a dead ace folded). He got $23,000 for 8th, a fine showing. Nice job, kid!
