Hanging On
by Court on 09.29.08, 6:10 pm
Around 17 hours of play have passed since the players sat down with their starting stacks of 20k chips. Tim “Tmay420″ West finished Day 1A a mere quarter shy of his starting stack and has been short for the entirity of day 2 play. He is now down in the 10 big blind area where options are pretty much limited to pushing all in or folding your hand.
If good things come to those who are patient, there should be a bright future for West. He has been the epitome of patience, folding ragged hand aftrer ragged hand. Finally he did move in for exactly 9k (blinds are 500 / 1k with a 100 ante) and picked up the blinds. Tim showed the 2
and another player at the table said “He’s not a super nit.” Even playing the short stack West looks to be having as much fun as anyone. Next up for him will almost surely be a double up or a bust.
The table with West and Jonathan “FatalError” Aguiar (right) is short stacked all around with no huge stacks and most of the players below average. A new addition to the table picked off a player when his aces held up against AK, and when the next table broke Jeff “ActionJeff” Garza found his way to the empty seat to the right of Tim and two seats to the left of Aguiar. “Finally they brought a fish to the table,” Aguiar said in a sarcastic tone about Jeff’s arrival.
Brian “sbrugby” Townsend has jumped to the top of the chip counts, sitting with 260k. Over at the feature table Jamie Rosen saw his day come to an end shortly after dinner. “Up and down,” pretty much summed up what Chris “Moorman1″ Moorman thought of his day so far.
