WSOP Fantasy -Event #14: $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball

OOPS!! I thought the only event beginning Saturday was the $1k donkament. But the $1500 2-7 Lowball being played no limit started last night at 5PM Las Vegas time. Since I failed to select new horses the players I picked for the $1k carried over. Therefore, I have a ton of players who have probably never played a hand of deuce-to-seven as my picks;

Position Player
A Player James Akenhead
A Player Shannon Shorr
A Player Annette Obrestad is playing
A Player Lex Veldhuis is playing
A Player Vitaly Lunkin
B Player Praz Bansi
B Player Jeff Madsen
B Player Nikolay Evdakov
B Player Joe Cada
B Player Sorel Mizzi
C Player Annand (Victor) Ramdin
C Player Erica Schoenberg
C Player Tim "Tmay420" West
C Player Erick Lindgren is playing and made it to Day 2 and busted before the money
C Player Adam Levy

For some reason, I find all the No-limit hold-em low-buy events mind-numbing to follow this year. Seems like the name players chip up early, bust-out and move on to the next tourney. Not sure if this is because they just don't know when to change gears once they hit the 4th or 5th level, or get bored and its only $1-1.5k or if its the structure that causes them to play that way. Seems like they are all played turbo. I've said it before and will say it again. I'd rather play the Venetian Deep Stack series then a WSOP donkament. I'm beginning to think the low-buyin events cheapen the WSOP.

WSOP Fantasy - Events 11-12 - $1500 NL & L DONKAMENTS

2 Donkaments begin today: One of the No-limit variety and the other of the limit variety. Tomorrow the second of the $1000 super-donkaments begins. Last year there was 1 $1000 buy-in open event referred to as the "STIMULUS SPECIAL".

Here's hoping that Kirk Morrison shakes the bad ju ju and has some run good so CK and I can get our Kirk fix. Hopefully, he doesnt head back to the hills of New Zealand before the Main Event comes up. I finally cracked a top 2000 finish to earn a spot in my first FULL TILT freeroll thanks to ROOTHLUS aka Adam Levy in a donkament no less. I should also earn another spot thanks to Neil Channing's runner-up finish in the 5k shoot-out.

I did pretty good with almost all my 7 Card Stud horses playing. I Missed on Jason Mercier not realizing he wasn't due back till Sunday even though i had read his tweet. Not sure if David Williams is playing. He was in Puerto Rico playing MAGIC and relaxing after his big WPT Championship win. Per his tweet yesterday this was to be his first event. Waiting for a PokerNews confirmed sighting or live update.

More donkaments on tap for tomorrow!!

Another day another donkament. Annette Obrestad made her WSOP debut but busted early when her set of 7's got out drawn on the river. Standard as the on-line pros would say. And welcome to the WSOP, Annette. I'm sure she will fair much better in one of the larger buy-in events.
