He played in event 35.....$1,500 NLHE event. There were close to 3,000 people in it. Everyone started with $3,000 chips. He hovered around that for a few hours. Ended up winning hand bluffing with garbage on the button (his first bluff in about 5 hours). He got called, but won the hand when he pushed in after the flop.
He ended up getting busted with A-K to A-Q when a guy hit a runner-runner straight. All the money went in on the flop when an ace hit.
He knows I'm a tight player, but he e-mailed me and said I'd look like Gus Hansen compared to the play he saw. I'm not surprised.
The $,1500 NLHE WSOP events are tough because of the huge fields and aggressive structure. If you don't get hands early, you end up having to gamble just to get enough chips to hang around. Nothing most people don't know. He said he had a blast, but it's apparent he didn't play many hands.
And by the way, this was a gift from his wife. Not too shabby.

It was definitely the main event, it said Jamie Gold was the winner last year.
