Default bdawg Down Under...

As you may or may not remember, bdawg had less than 24 hours of "home time" in between the Bahamas and leaving for Australia. He is down there now, and Day 1 is in the books.

As soon as I got home from camping today, I fired up the Poker Stars Blog to see if I could find any info, and I sure did!


With his permission, I will now tell you that bdawg31 = Bernie Martinelli. He had his picture taken for this blog entry:




And according to the most recent entry:
Very nice! Go bdawg!!!

Is it just me, or does that guy in the other picture look like Mark Martin? (before anyone asks - the NASCAR driver Mark Martin)

Looks like bdawg made it through Day 2!

There is another pic of him in the Poker Stars Blog, but according to the email I got from him, the caption isn't entirely true. He said it was taken early on when his chip stack was at around 52k. He ended up losing a lot of chips - mostly to Michael Gracz - throughout the day and found himself down to 19k chips. He pushed in from the SB with 9Ts and the BB called with A9. Uh oh! But a 10 on the flop saved him!!!

He was able to work his stack up to near 50k again, but the average going into Day 3 is 90k. There are 86 players left and 48 will cash. The minimum cash is about $10k.

Here's hoping bdawg can hang on and catch a few breaks on Day 3, so he can go really deep in this thing...

According to the email I got earlier: 1000/2000 with a 300 ante, and they are playing 8 seated.

Keep an eye on Fischman........ and Ivey of course. Both are VERY dangerous with those stacks.

Holy crap! I'm reading his email now.... I won't post everything (I'll leave that to him if he wants, when he gets back), but how about this:

He ended up busting out with his AK all in preflop against TT. A T hit the flop and that was that... He shook hands and gave an exit interview.

Nice job, bdawg!!!
