I'm sure the kid looked him up on Hendon Mob and saw Anthony playing hands like 2222.

Good news is we made 2nd break on only 1 bullet
Bad news is we've just been bleeding chips slowly. Lots of big stacks (60-100k) at my table
We led a QT9 flop holding QJTx and had to fold to a raise by a solid player who had 4 people in the pot with him
We are back down to 25k. Not in danger zone, but lost some from when we were close to 50k
Will update after break on final field size and payouts, will be over 100 players

Not sure if you guys saw, but this tourney also introduced a BB ante just like in NLHE, which no one seems to like (inc the dealers), but ensures the game will end quicker (i.e. good for the house)
The BB ante is NOT factored in when raising preflop, but is post-flop

Checked to me, I bet 6k, he calls. I figure he might have a KQ type hand, I'm hoping for an 8 on the turn
Turn
Bingo bango bongo Vince!
He checks, we bet 15k. He checkraises to 35k. We rip, he snaps
I announce I have the nuts and he says "me too, do you have any redraws?" and I say no
Then we flip our hands and he has
Someone speaks up and says "you don't have the nuts" and that's when I realize I've been wamboozled with the worst turn card, leaving me drawing to a Q for a chop
It doesn't come and he has me covered. I'm out in 20th of 107, nine spots from a cash. Absolutely devastated.
I was so focused on hitting the card to make my hand, and he was outplaying people in pots I figured he was running a bluff into my nuts and missed the Q9 possibility
I had just gotten a solid stack together and thought for sure I was doubling through this kid

It really was. My heart absolutely sank when I realized I had just blown a 90k'ish stack after struggling late in the tourney with a shorter stack
This kid had been playing back at people a lot if he sensed weakness
On the flop it was checked to me on the button multiway, so took a 6k stab at it and he called
In my head I'm begging for an 8 and hit it. When he checks to me I specifically bet 15k hoping he would sense weakness and try to bully me off the hand
When it worked I was ecstactic, thinking "I finally got this fucker!" and was convinced I had just made a well-disguised nuts he wouldn't put me on
When he snap-called I was expecting him to maybe have a pair, two pair or set PLUS straight draw
I was absolutely crushed when I saw I had missed the Q9 possibility
This was the closest I've gotten in the WPT series, I was finally going to get a stack and make a real run at it and make my backers proud (and a profit)
I'll recover, but this one hurt a lot
Still got the O.E. tmrw, the satellite to the main thursday and a 50k gtd next week

Anthony, I know today's outcome was a disappointment. But take some consolation in the fact that you are the 305,128th most popular poker player in the world!
