Yo guys,
I got my ass kicked on my qualification at the 6th step of the APPT Sydney qualifier (2.100$+200$ buy-in).. 3 guys left and top 2 gets a seat.. so at that moment I had QQ, and just shoved it, the other guy thinks about it and calls with AQo and spikes a A on the river.. I was disgusted, not that it was a bad call from that other guy or something, it's just I felt that I was suppose to go, and that donk was so freaky lucky, everytime he won the coinflip.
Talking about coinflips, we went out last night and Tufat made 11 coinflips with my friend for 1000$ each, and ended up losing 3K$, but it was hilarious, anyways, he's like stuck 10K with coinflips now, guess he's not lucky :)
anyways.. I gotta get back to the qualifiers, hopefully I'll be more lucky this time.. I've been going out too much with the poker players who are staying here in Thailand.

$222,640 Dinh Le (Vietnam)

APPT Macau = StarCraft event??
Hi guys.. seems like a StarCraft event.. lol :D
this is the final table:
Seat 1: Simon Randall, United Kingdom — 125,000
Seat 2: Liz Lieu, United States — 384,000
Seat 3: William Tam, Australia — 201,000
Seat 4: Bertrand 'Elky' Grospellier, Korea — 467,000
Seat 5: Joe Hachem, Australia — 325,000
Seat 6: Dinh Le, England — 657,000
Seat 7: Guillaume Patry, South Korea — 552,000
Seat 8: Sangkyoun Kim, South Korea — 261,000
Seat 9: Ivan Tan, Singapore — 553,000
Yes that's Elky and Grrr... two former pro StarCraft players.. don't know about that other korean guy, might be a pro too haha :)
sorry for the lack of updates.. I was too dissapointed at myself I guess, but bad luck is something you have to deal with.
Critical hands:
flop goes A96 , 2 hearts , I had pocket 6 in my hand, reraised his bet on the flop a bit, he pushes all in, thought he had a AK with a flush draw, but he flips over 99, deadly..
I was crushed in chipstack, shortstacked play.. but not very long.. I sat on the BB, against only a SB who limps in. I pushed all in with A9s and the guy has 96o, I had him dominated but he turned over a straight on the river after pre-flop allin.
You can view some party videos at the APPT site, I should congratulate Liz Lieu for making it to the final table, she was shortstacked for a while too, and I never thought she would make it.. but she did won the medium pocket pair coinflip against AK.
Going to try to qualify for the APPT in Sydney now.. wish me luck :)

My first post
Hi,
My full name is Dang Dai, most people know me by my nickname Ryu, and actually all my friends call me that way. I've created this blog, because I'm not only a poker player, I'm also manager of Silver RakeBack, one of the top rated online poker affiliates ;) So if you are still looking for a good deal, go give the site a visit or add us to your favorite IM.
Why the blog? well, because of the upcoming events ofcourse.. the APPT is on it's way and the first step is the APPT main event in Macau, which I am personally participating in :)
I just want to create this blog so all my friends can view and read all about it, like they are being part of this event. Anyways.. I'll keep you all updated every step of the way!
