Joe Malebranche found a bag with a comfort zone stack of 23 Bigs for Day 2 of the $220 Mini Main. $50K Gtd, $16,150 up top. He’s one of 46 players ITM with a somewhat different format – Day 2 has a 6:15pm restart. The final flight had cards go in the air at 9:15am today and they just bagged in the last 90 minutes.
Joe played the $600 NL last weekend and found his way to the final table. He rarely misses a tournament at Maryland Live and through nothing more than dumb luck, his face never did end up on the blog. I joked with Joe that I am the quintessential black cat. The moment we even think about posting him, bad things could happen. He was the first one to fall at the final table. I wasn’t even done posting the group photo before the supervisor was handing him a payout card.
Better luck today, Joe. I’d say have fun, but you always do.
