So tonight featured the Super Tuesday on PS along with the daily big events on PS and FTP. There were no big wins but for probably the billionth time they had a couple of people go deep. Ray went very far in the 1k and Jon went deep in the 100r, unfortunately it just wasn't there night. In the 100r Jon built a good stack but with 35 ppl left he lost a monstrous pot jj vs. a9. In the 1k Ray made it deep in to the money but he had a common trend of losing decent sized races. He would build and lose a race and repeat. Finally this caught up to him as he got it all in preflop in a huge pot AK vs 99 and unfortunately couldn't get there. There were no other deeps and that was the it for Wafflecrush Tuesday night. GL Wednesday!

Many Deeps...No Firsts
The team was in basically full gear last night and since it was Monday it was a night of tremendous prizepools. The 1k FO on FTP, the 100r on PS, the 55k on FTP, and the 100k on PS all were loaded last night and it looked like it was going to be a great night for Wafflecrush.
Bakes and Thayer got the team off on the right foot when both were deep in the 100k and 100r, respectively, and had great stacks. Bakes ended up getting unlucky a lot and chipping down until he eventually had less than 5 bbs and lost with around 35 ppl left. Thayer was chip leader of the 100r with 35 ppl left. Thayer played and ran well all the way to the final table. The final table was pure chaos as all chipstacks were going up and down like crazy. Thayer's was not any different as he got unlucky in many big pots. His worst beat was losing an avg stack size pot AA to 44. Thayer ended up getting 5th for about 8k.The last deep run of the night was made by Shaun Deeb. He got 9th in the 30r on FTP.
This was the end of a night of deep runs, and no firsts.

The First Sunday
In terms of a Wafflecrush Sunday, this one would not rank as the best but not the worst either. With Thayer, Shaun, Bakes, Ray, Kyle, and Vivek all playing the Borgata ME, it was up to Carter, Jon, Justin, and Adam(!). Carter played his way through only the majors and ran about as horrible as ive ever seen in consecutive majors. In the Warmup, Carter doubled early and stuck around only to eventually lose KK to QQ AIPF. His biggest deep run was in the 100 FO at 1. He made the money only to lose a big pot losing 1010 to A10. Finally he played the 750k and busted in 30 minutes losing AA to AK. Jon and Adam both made deep runs in the Warmup but both were ousted early in the money. Neither made good runs in anything else. Justin made good runs in a lot of stuff the best of which being two FTP tournies. One was a $75 dollar FO which Justin ended up losing just before the FT. The other tourney was the Sunday Mulligan with a 100k guarenteed. Justin got 45th.
In Borgata, after Day 1, Thayer, Ray, and Vivek were the only Wafflecrushers remaining. GL to both online and live Wafflecrushers in their respective Monday tournies.

ShaunFuckingDeeb
This is the first time we have heard from Shaun, granted it's only been a week and he hasnt played much, but I can guarentee you it won't be the last. Shaun was really the only Wafflecrusher in action tonight. Bakes, Thayer and Ray all played a little but none of them played a lot and didn't make it deep in much. Shaun however played pretty much every tournament that was registering on PS. These tournies included:
$15 FO
$22 DS
$100 DS
$11 20k
$11 1 rebuy 1 add on (13th)
$27.50 25k (45th)
$33r
$3r
$100r (2nd)
$150 100k
$50 50k
Shaun is known for playing a large amount of tournies which is one the reasons he's sucha well-known and great player. Shaun had a very successful night and made several deep runs. His deepest runs came in the $11 1 rebuy 1 add on, the 25k, and the 100r. In the 27.50 he had a big stack pretty much the whole time but flamed out. This happened again the $11 1 rebuy 1 add on but he made it a little deeper. He ended up getting 13th. The 100r was the tourney of the night for Wafflecrush. Shaun looked good the entire tourney, accumulating chips at a massive rate. It seemed like Shaun was never close to being avg bc he was always way above it. Shaun ended up fting and getting 2nd. Although Shaun may say he's disappointed by the 2nd it was tough for Shaun to win bc going into HU he was a huge underdog. Shaun ended up winning about 13k....another huge score for Wafflecrush! Tomorrow is the Borgata ME so GL to all Wafflecrushers. Tomorrow is also the first Sunday I'll be blogging so hopefully it will be a good one. I'll also be playing so there won't be updates until late in the night.

Not A Good NIght For The Team
Tonight was the 5k event in Borgata plus the usual online tournaments there are. Ray, Kyle, Thayer, Shaun, Bakes and all played the 5k and were not very successful. Shaun Deeb made the best run but ended up bubbling. Bubbles and UB money. Sighhhhh. Online, Justin and Carter played and both made deep runs in many tournies. This seemed to be a night for bubbles because neither could win an important pot towards the end of the tourney and none of their deep runs panned out. GL the rest of the week online and in Borgata Wafflecrushers!

Summing Up Thursday Night
After Cking's near win there were a lot of deep runs. Ray "Exitonly" went deep in the 11r on PS and had a great stack in the FTP 150. Neither panned out unfortunately. Besides Carter's 2nd place the next deepest run was once again Thayer in the 50k on PS. Thayer was a huge chip leader with 60 people left and ended up getting 10th. Tonight is the 5k FO in Borgata so good luck to all Wafflecrushers and good luck to all online players playing tonight.

Cking Goes Deep For 2nd Straight Night
On a Thursday night when Wafflecrushers were going deep in many tournies it was once again Carter "Ckingusc" to make the biggest splash. Carter went deep in both the FTP 150 and the UB 150. Carter got 18th in FTP after going carddead and eventually busting as a shortstack. In the UB $150 FO Carter made it HU against Mkind0516 but was a 5 to 1 underdog. He fought back getting as close as 2 to 1 but never got closer. Carter took down 2nd for $3200. There are Wafflecrushers still playing so I'll wrapup the night a little later.

Thayer Out in 8th
Congrats to Thayer Rasmussen for placing 8th in the $2500 NL Event in Borgata. For placing 8th Thayer received $24, 676. On a down note Thayer lost two absolutely huge pots kk losing to jj and aq losing to aj both AIPF. Hopefully Thayer will continue to play great along with the rest of the Wafflecrush crew.

Thayer, Carter Carry Wafflecrushers Wednesday Night
Wednesday started off fast for Wafflecrush when as I already reported Carter won a 100 FO on UB. Just what Wafflecrush needs is more UB money. The night had a chance to be really good too as there are two Wednesday Specials on FTP and PS. FTP has its weekly 100r 65k gteed and PS has its $300 Stuper. Jon "FatalError" went deep in FTP and that was about it for Team Wafflecrush online that night. The real buzz came from Wafflecrush co-leader Thayer who, along with Ray "Exitonly" and Bakes "Whooookidd" played in the $2500 NL Event in Borgata. Thayer cruised through the first day and when the night was over ended in 5th place with 22 people remaining. Good luck in day 2 Thayer, take it down.

A Rough First Night For Za Wafflecrush
While I was watching Prison Break and playing a little poker myself, Team Wafflecrush was busy on their first night playing while I was blogging. Let's just say, they've had better nights. On maybe the biggest night of the week besides Sunday the Wafflecrushers had Thayer, Jon, Ray, Justin, Carter and Bakes all in action playing some of the biggest tournaments of the week. These tournaments include the:
-1k Super Tuesday on PS
-100r on PS
-100k gteed (Stuper) on PS
-100 FO on PS
-11r on PS
-55k gteed on FTP
-Daily Double on FTP
It looked as though the night was going to be good, maybe even great when Justin went deep in the 100 FO but after a long run he took down 26th when his jj got all in pre 3 way against ako and aksooted and lost to the latter. Carter played only two tournaments and didn't go deep in either. Bakes played all the majors tonight and didn't go much of anywhere in any. In the stuper Bakes was sitting out for almost an hour before he realized it with 1 bb left and sat...and lost 1 minute later. Thayer seemed to stick around in a lot of tournies before losing just before the money bubble but in the FTP 55k he had a top 10 stack with 40 ppl left. Unfortunately he chipped down and ultimately lost getting 31st. Last but not least Ray could have had something going in the biggest tournament of the night/week (the 1k) but lost the wc bad beat of the night:
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Exitonly4 [Ac Ah]
AABenjaminAA: folds

Exitonly4: raises 270 to 420
