WPT Championship
Sorry for not updating my blog in a couple weeks. Anyways yesterday I arrived in Vegas for the 25k WPT Championship. I'm going to play the 5k tomorrow then the 25k on Saturday. Should be pretty sick, I have never played a tourney over 16k-ish (EPT Monte Carlo) before so it should be a good experience. I'm confident I can do some damage. Since my last blog I grinded scoop almost everyday, and bricked them for the most part, except for getting 5th in the $530 6 max for 33k. That tourney was a lot of fun, 6 max tourneys are always a lot of fun and the tourney went pretty smoothly for the most part as I cruised until about 8 or 9 handed when I lost some big pots and became short going into the Final Table. I lost a pretty huge pot with AJ v J2hh on the Q Th x Kh Ah, when the eventual winner check min-raised the river and I was forced to call. Then the button opened for 2.7x and I shoved 15bbs in the BB with 22. He had 77 and that was GG for me. I was happy with how I played for the most part, so I wasn't too disappointed with the finish.
On Sunday was the 10k SCOOP which I was really looking forward too. After a Easter Brunch at my Aunts home, I raced home and played the the 10k and a couple others, I built up a nice stack in the 10k then lost KK to AK for 62k at 300/600, and all of a sudden I was short and couldn't get anything going and busted soon after. I haven't played tourneys since Sunday, and I haven't played a live tourney in a while, so I can't wait for the 5k and 25k coming up. Alright that's all for now.

NCAA Tourney + SCOOP
So unfortunately Maryland ran into the buzz saw that is Memphis and lost in the second round. O well. But the rest of the NCAA tourney has been pretty awesome, Saturdays Final 4 games should be fun. I think UNC is clearly the most talented team in the Final 4, but can they play enough defense to take it down is the question. I think they are the favorites right now, but 'Nova is playing great and could definitely win that game, Dante Cunningham is very sick. Cunningham V. Psycho T should be an awesome match up. In the other game, Michigan state plays UCONN. This game will most likely be a lot more boring and low scoring then the other game, but should be a good one nonetheless. I think UCONN is the better team, so I'd expect Thabeet and company to advance.
So the SCOOP starts tomorrow, and I'm really pumped and ready too get a big score this series. The structures for these tourney are almost too good. They are going to take a longggg time, but it should be worth it! After SCOOP, I am going to Vegas for the 5 Star World Poker Classic/WPT Championship, and then I'm either going to Monte Carlo or going back home for a while...and then WSOP!
