(By the way, readers who are confused by all these poker acronyms will find a guide to them at our sister site, so that you’ll know your “poker wp” from your “poker nh” ).

WSOPE Event 1 £1000 Freeze out - Day 1a Ian Frazer
This is the first tourney in the series and it’s the £1000 buy in for 3000 chips. I arrive with not the greatest of preparations as I went to the pre-party the night before and bumped into some pals of mine and then cracked on in London till about 3 or 4am. Any way sitting outside in Leicester square with 3 cups of tea,2 lemonades and some tablets from Nathan Lee I was bang up for it.
I hear lots of players saying you must gamble early because of the starting chips but I totally disagree, I anticipated one third being eliminated between 3rd and 4th level and I was spot on, so there is no panic plus they have put a 25/25 level in.
I am so pleased I have been drawn on the stage which means the table will not get broken, the game is set. I play like 3 or 4 hands in the first 2 levels and have 4000 chips and feeling very good about my table. A new player joins the game in seat 4 it’s Stellios and he immediately raises from UTG to 150, seat 9 Alex Martin calls and I have 5h6h in seat 10 and flat it too. Flop 3h4h7s Wallop! Stellios continues and Alex pops it up, I now wanna jump on the table and do the “Irish jig” but contain myself to just raise it 2.5X ha-ha. Stellios passes and Alex pushes with his QQ so I win a lovely pot and everything is going to plan. (so glad the QQ didn’t raise pre-flop).
I am now double average and lock up, I am not interested in bullying or taking any chances I want to consolidate what I have, so I go through the motions for a couple of levels.

Apologies for leaving the highly skilled PartyPoker blog geniuses at this point, but if you want to go through the motions with them then check out Sunday’s full length post at the PartyPoker blog. Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, after all…

That’s it, time for sunday dinner - have a great, and lucky, day.
