Hey all it's been a while since I updated this blog. But remember that's because I have my own website at www.shannonshorr.com and regularly blog there. Also, as a friendly reminder Cardplayer carries my blog so you can read it there as well. Just giving an update on here for when I post on others' blogs.Ok, my summer and since I last posted. I've 'only' cashed 6 times since I last posted but those 6 cashes include 4 from the WSOP and 2 from the Bellagio Cup (sidenote: because of Summer 2006 and this one now I may be most famous and successful player ever at the BC...read the rest of blog to find out why).
My first big cash of the summer came when I took runner-up in event #7 for just shy of $350,000 American dollars. It was in a $2,000 buy in and I took 2nd to a very talented Matt Keikoan. Had 3 more baby cashes in the WSOP adding up to ~$35,000. I now have 10 cashes lifetime in the WSOP in just 3 years.
Then I started to really heat up in what I guess I should consider my favorite tournament series of all time. I take you back to Bellagio Cup II back in Summer 2006. There I won a prelim event for ~$125,000 before winning the whole damn main event (chopped heavily of course) for what looks like on poker sites $960,690 (In actuality I chopped for about $650k and after paying those who had a piece of me and tipping the tournament staff (which I always do after big scores) I profitted somewhere in the neighborhood of $560,000.) But that was 2 years ago.
On July 6th, 2008 I recorded my first official win without chopping any of the prizepool. This came in a prelim event at Bellagio Cup IV for about $250,000. Just 4 days later I ran hot again and finished 3rd to Jimmy Fricke for $124,000. Sidenote on this tournament: I got it all in 3 handed against Jim for what was about 80% of the tournament chips holding the dominant lead. Jim spiked. I was busted. No hard feelings against Jim or 'teh poker gods' either because I've had quite a magic summer.
In all these 6 cashes amounted to 3 final tables, 3 top 3 finishes, 1 outright win, 1 runner up and 1 bronze medal. The cashes were for over three quarters of a million dollars.
I will have a good long update for all of you at my aforementioned own site about life, poker, returning to school, etc etc.
I love you all.
