WSOP: The Dream is Over.

I just received word that my dad was KTFO. Sucks man, he was doing so well. He went all-in with AQ and the other guy had AK. He caught a Q on the flop and the other guy river-ratted the K. Pisses me off. I really wanted my dad to make it to Day 3.

Oh well, there is always next year and this time, I’m going with him.

WSOP: Dad doing well on Day 2

Just got off the phone with my bro:

My dad went down to $2K (which seems to be the magic number) and built himself back up to $13K (where he started the day). They’re on break right now so we’ll see what happens when they get back.

Stayed tuned for further updates.

I promise to return to posting about CF related stuff soon (does that make you happy, Mr. Stephen Cassady). With the excitment surrounding my father and me being up to my eyeballs in work right now, I don’t want to rush a post and it be something totally stupid.

<CFWSOP> Update: Dad going to Day 2!

This is suppose to be a CF blog, but anywho. Quoted directly from my brother:

Just wanted you all to know that Dad made it to Day 2! His chip count at the end of today was $12,275. While he had a lot more chips during the day, towards the end he wasn’t getting any hands. None the less, he played very well and didn’t go chasing hands.

He played from 12pm until 3:30am. We’re both tired as hell, so if any of you call earlier then 12pm our times, which is 3pm your time, I’m going to kick some ass when I get home

He plays again on Tuesday at 12 noon. You can go to www.worldseriesofpoker.com and the chip counts will be displayed for the day.

Anyway, I’ll keep you all updated. Please be sure to forward this email to Louie and Mike L. I don’t have their email addresses on hand. Also, someone please call my mom and tell her.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

PS: I love you Laura.
PPS: Tony, kick the dogs for me

Awesome, totally awesome. I know my dad is going to increase his chip stack on Day 2. During day 1, he was down to $2K and started to play reckless like he normally does and got backup to $30K. The thing that pisses me off is that PokerStars still isn’t tracking his progress. This means have to wait until I talk to my brother, or he emails me until I get updates.

<CFWSOP> Wish my dad luck!!!

Just a quick note (I think my dad would appreciate it).

My dad is out in Las Vegas right now competing in the WSOP (World Series of Poker). He won a the seat off a satellite on PokerStars. With the seat comes some other perks as well:

1. He was also invited by UltimateBet to go to the Vodoo louge for a pre-game party (it’s impossible to get into that place without knowing someone).
2. His room is paid for for the duration of the tournament (as long as he keeps advancing).
3. They’re giving him $1000 spending money.
4. If he makes the final table they will give him an additional $100,000.
5. If he wins the tournament he will get an additional $1,000,000.
6. Obviously he will become a spokesmen for PokerStars and get all the benefits that come along.
7. They give hime shirts, hats, pants and other PokerStars gear to wear during the tournament (this is required to get the additional money).
8. I get nothing

He starts playing tomorrow at 12pm PST. I will try to update my blog with his performance. My brother is out there with him for support. Personally I think my brother is jinxed (he already had his luggage lost, but they did find it). I just hope he knocks one person out.

GOOD LUCK DAD!!!!
