I have posted below a fellow Welsh mans exit hand from the WSOP E yesterday. i have copied this from the WSOP web site just to show that Evan with a buy in of £10350 things go wrong and people get lucky. If this happened on sky then someone would be leaving and they would say the site is rigged. Poker is a hard game with the cards against you!
Roberto Romanello is about as happy as a penguin in a microwave at the moment after becoming an early casualty in this year's World Series of Poker Europe Main Event. But when he looks back at the hand histories, he will feel he did little wrong.
Still reeling from his earlier set-over-set encounter that ate up over half his stack, Romanello opened up to 550 from the button only to be three-bet by Faraz Jaka to 1,500 in the small blind.
Romanello spent little time in making a raise and increasing the price of poker to 4,525. Jaka asked for a count (Romanello had around 15,000 back), mulled over his options for a minute, before dipping into his 23,000 stack and putting his opponent all in. Romanello took one last peak at his cards, nodded his head and announced, "I call."
Cards on their backs and Romanello was in commanding shape with Qh Qs versus the Ah 4s of Jaka, the latter either believing Romanello's four-bet range in this situation to be light or having picked up some sort of incorrect read as Romanello was awaiting a decision.
Either way, Jaka's misstep went unpunished, the flop coming 10h Ac 10d to place him into the lead. As the ace hit the felt, a gutted Romanello yelped as if receiving a punch to the stomach and quickly rose from his chair with a "I run so bad" look of disgust plastered across his face.
The turn 10s and 3c river sealed the deal, and Romanello was gone. "Good luck," he politely offered through gritted teeth, but it was obvious that he'll feel the pain of this wound for a few days yet.
Jaka, meanwhile, jumped right up to 45,000, and with his talent and results, could be a genuine threat as he we head towards the close of this second level
£10350 for less than 3 hours poker wow £115 per min WOW WOW

Never seen a post from a player rivering a 2% chance to win crying foul play.
There is a little more to the Roberto hand than meets the eye.
I spoke to a downcast Roberto immediately after his brutal exit, & he told me the "back-story" was that he had tilted the whole table with his speech-play, which was designed specifically to induce the daft push by A-4 man. And it worked. Almost......
I asked Roberto how he had tilted everyone (he does talk "rather a lot"), & suggested to him it might be because he speaks with a strong Welsh accent, which would, let's be fair, test the patience of a Saint.
Roberto shot me look like Attila on a bad day, & walked off muttering about what he described as "the ****** English".....
But really, fancy laying out £10,000+ & getting that happen. Now you know why I prefer smaller tourneys these days. They are just as much fun, & the beats don't hurt. At £10k, it has to hurt!
LOL
And you always seem to run like god against me anyway
