Hard fought WSOPE Day One, $55,000 win? With a great structure here at the WSOPE main event in London, I expected great things. What happened was a near KO! I lost a huge pot with K-K, with $11,000 going in after a 9♠-4♥-2♥ flop, against a very live player. I knew it was a bad sign when I moved in, and he insta-called! This put me on about $4,900 in chips, and I lost another few hundred the next hand while I was negotiating a bet with Eli Elezra. Eli laid me 11-to-1 on whether or not I could get up to $35,000 in chips at some point in the tournament. I knew I had way the best of it, and I was happy to bet $5,000 to win $55,000. Still, Eli has won tons of insurance bets ....
