In my last post, I talked about how I was on to round 2 of the NBC Heads-Up Championship after I defeated Daniel Negreanu.
I faced Pieter De Korver in my next match and ended up beating him as well. I had the chiplead for almost the whole match and was winning probably 70-75% of hands, but when the blinds went from 600/1200 to 1k/2 we got it in for his 11 bb stack, him holding A10 vs my A9… 9 on the river, no big deal!
If I had lost this pot, we would have been back to even in chips with 20 bbs each.
In my next match, I faced Phil Laak. This match started out completely opposite to the match with Pieter. Laak crushed me in the beginning stages of the match beating me on almost every hand.

On to Round 2 of the NBC Heads-Up Championship

After my 3rd place finish at the High Roller event in LA, I knew I needed to make my way back to Las Vegas. I had an invitation to play in the NBC Heads Up Championship, how could I say no to that?
I came back that same night after the finish of the High Roller event. I rode back with a couple buddies crammed in their tiny 2 door car… I rode in the back seat!
We left around 2 am and arrived in Vegas around six. It was a miserable drive, but I was happy to finally get here.
I chilled out the first day I was here, just hanging with friends, drinking some beers and having a good time. The next day was the drawing party for the event. It was pretty cool, I was able to bring two of my good buddies, Andy and the one and only- Daniel O’Brien, and two of his friends as well.
We all had a great time there and I found out who I was matched up against, Daniel Negreanu.
He’s not exactly my first choice from the field, as there are plenty of much weaker opponents. However, I was not totally opposed to the thought of playing him as I knew there would be a good chance our match would be the featured one.
I have also played a lot against Daniel and feel like I have a good read on how he plays.
Our match did end up being on the featured table, and also the fastest one. I knocked him out of what I would guess to be around the 10th hand of the match.
I got all the money in on a board of J-3-3-2 holding QQ vs his 55 in a 3-bet pot. The structure of these matches are fairly fast paced, as they are made for TV.
Saturday, I will be playing Pieter De Korver in my first match. If I win this match, I will be in the money and down to the final 16. Hopefully I can win both matches tomorrow and be on the final day on Sunday when only 8 players are left.
First place in this tournament is a cool half million. Not bad eh?
