Hand of the Week: My $220,000 Pot at the WSOP
In 2002, after maintaining a great positive attitude through a terrible WSOP, I was ready to win the Main Event and the accompanying $2 million prize. Monday and Tuesday (Day One and Day Two) I played as good as I could play, and I caught a lot of big hands as well. I went smooth, Cadillac smooth in fact, from $10,000 right up to $127,000 without ever being low on chips or close to all-in. I really thought that moving from 130 players down to 45 players on Day three would be a piece of cake. And then…
…Hello, Meng La!
Wow, I had never met Meng “over the top” La before, but he was seated just to my left on Day Three and, believe me, this guy made Stu Ungar look like a slow player! Meng proceeded to raise or re-raise like a mad man over the course of the day. He raised, re-raised, or moved all-in almost twenty times in the first two hours. This guy never folded his hand once he put a chip in! How he survived that first two days playing that fast is a mystery to me.

WSOP Player of the Year
Congrats to my friend, Greg Merson, on his epic comeback to win the WSOP Main Event and Player of the Year last week – so impressed with the level of play this year at the final table!! I was bummed to finish second in Player of the Year (for the third time!) but Greg’s got skillz and deserves the WIN. I’ll man up and be back in 2013!!!!
Check out Greg’s story and a recap of the final table via Poker News Global.
