Vegas June 2009 - Day 3 - WSOP $1500 PLO

Played the $1500 Pot limit Omaha tournament. We were given 1500 chips to start and 2 rebuy chips. 800 runners.L1 25/50 Lost my first 1500 in 2 stages. Raised from BB with KK after 1 limp - he called. Bet out on a Jxx board and he reraised me so I folded. Then called a multi limp pot with A235. Picked up a draw on the flop which hit on the turn. Unfortunately it also created a flush draw which hit on the river for another all-in player.L2 50/100 Limped with AA23 and when the player to my left raised I went all-in. He had KK79 but with 2 spades that hit a flush. Down to my final 1500 I worked it up to 2500 when flopping 4 kings. Unfortunately it was too scary to get paid. Had to lay down KK preflop - pretty obvious he had AA - down to 1300. At first break back up to 2100 when all-in with AA against KK - this time they held up.L3 75/150 Interrupted for the playing of the national anthems at a reward ceremony - the olympics must surely follow.Knocked out in rather unfortunate circumstances. I am in the BB with 7754. UTG (an aggressive player) limps there is a raise and 2 calls. This must be value if UTG does not repop and he doesn't. So at 650 per head it is a 3325 pot. Flop is 568 rainbow - almost perfect unless someone holds 79 - very unlikely. So I move all in for my remaining chips and the UTG player repots and everyone else folds. He has 88 but the board pairs on the river to house him up - nice.
Tried the $350 megasatellite with Mark. Only paying 1 and a bit seats and a real crapshoot - did not last long.
Went to Caesars and entered late into the $250 turbo tournament. Big stack but only 20 minute levels. No real hands and then I lose most of my chips once the antes start when raising UTG with AJ. Called by the button who tries to check when the flop comes J97. I bet out and he calls. Turn a rag so I move all-in and he calls showing J9. I have him covered but I am crippled and am eliminated tamely with K9 a few hands later.
