This weekend I was invited to go to Laughlin, for a WSOP ME freeroll courtesy of Harrah's, Laughlin. I have played in a good many of these in the past, but my personal best was making it to day 2 at Bally's a couple weeks ago, for $100, but not making it to the finals.
This weekend was so different, I don't have the words for it. On Saturday, I played the 1st round. It was a double shootout.Top 2 finishers from each table (of 10) from each session, made it to the semi finals. There were 240 (I think) entrants. I made it to the top 2 on Saturday. This win gave me a ticket to the Semi finals. That game played down to a single winner. I will post the pics of the semi final HU and my winning hand from the semi final table, after the text.
I won that table. Thirty minutes after that game, the final table play began. All 10 finishers from the semi finals made it to the money. 10th-5th got $250. 4th got $500. 3rd got $1,000, 2nd got $2,000 and 1st place got either the WSOP ME seat or the cash equivalent translation of $8,000.
When I knocked out the guy in 3rd, I ask the other man standing if he would chop. he said no. So, I went to super aggro mode and in 3 hands he asked me if I still wanted to chop. If I said yes, I had a guaranteed $5,000. If I said no, I had the 'possibility' of $8,000 or $2,000. Well, I had 2 high credit card balances and the $5,000 would help me almost pay them off entirely, so I said yes. We shook on it and split $10,000. This is my best brag, ever, because this is such an improvement from all of my earlier outings in these Harrah's WSOP ME freerolls.![]()
WOW very nice Jane, glad to hear you did so good!!!
I think you may have beat him but taking the $5,000 was a good choice also. Hope everything else is ok with you, havent seen you around.
Congrats Jane!!!
That's so awesome. I'm glad you were not only able to have some fun but win a nice chunk of money in the process.

I forgot about poker press box (and kept wondering why I wasn't hearing any topic updates on WDIAV)...then I remembered, lol. what a ditz I am.
Amazing how no one ever wants to chop until they see you've got some skill.

LOL. I thought the same thing, but didn't care. I wanted the money to pay off bills.
Were the players pretty good overall? Locals?
