I ended up busting in 12th place at WPT Vienna. I made a Cre8ive play where I cold 4bet and 6bet shoved 97cc into a cold 5bettor's pocket Aces. I had logic and reasoning at the time for why I made the play, and listened to my gut, but thinking back on it I really don't like it. After that hand I got my last 8bbs in AA vs AsQx and the board ran out with four spades and I lost. Unfortunate to lose that hand but the turning point was my big bluff. It's frustrating and disappointing to get that close to another big tournament victory and make a mistake to lose. Instead of beating myself up too much, I went to Berlin to play the EPT Main Event.

I had roughly 40bbs with two hours left in the night and got all in AK vs 88 for an 80bb pot. I would of had 50k at 300/600 had I won the race, but I ended up losing the coinflip to be eliminated from the EPT Main Event. No big deal. What did I decide to do after that? Well I hopped on the first flight to South Florida to redeem myself and play the $10k WPT Main Event at the Hard Rock.

There are currently around 100 players left from the 290 that started the tournament. I believe average stack is 80k and I finished Day 2 with 28k. It was a brutal day where some of the amateur players at the table kept getting the best of me. I'm glad I was able to survive and I am hoping I can play my 25bb stack to perfection and make another run at a WPT title. The blinds will be 600/1200 today to start Day 3. I will do my best. Wanted to give a little update in case anything exciting happens in this WPT. Here's hoping to making Day 4 and another shot at a WPT title.

I survived another day in the WPT Vienna Main Event. We started Day 3 with 67 players and after 5 levels of play (90 minutes each level) we are now down to the final 21 players. I am currently 5th in chips. Once 18 players remain we will redraw seats and play down to the final table of 6 players. There are a lot of good players left in the tournament and a few I still haven't played with. I will give it my best shot, like usual.

I see every mention I receive on Twitter (where you can follow my updates @TristanCre8ive) and know I have a bunch of people cheering me on. I can't say thank you enough. It really is amazing to see how many people are rooting for me when I go deep in a big poker tournament. Thank you again. I have the most unbelievable friends and support system. I'm in the zone, let's continue the ride...

I've made Day 3 of the WPT Vienna Main Event. The internet in my hotel is awful and I haven't been able to access updates yet, but ironically blogging is working at the moment haha. Someone told me I am 3rd in chips with 64 players remaining. I finished the day with 395,500. Hopefully the internet is fixed in a short while and I will be able to research my table. I know there are a lot of really good tournaments players still left in the field.

I played a lot of fun and interesting hands yesterday. I was at the same table as the Day 1 chip leader and he was comparable to Jason Statham -- STRAIGHT ACTION! We battled in a few big pots and overall I think I got the best of him. He was a lot of fun to play against and definitely a challenging opponent. Our table broke with about an hour left in the day and I was moved to another tough table. I managed to chip up about 100k more in the last 45 minutes of the day, which was very nice.

I think this is only my second WPT event. The first was a $3500 in South Florida. I have still yet to play a $10k WPT in America, but no complaints about that haha, just stating a fact. I'll continue to play my best and have fun doing so. We are about 20 away from the money with first place winning over $400k USD. I appreciate all the support I've already received and thank you to everyone for any future encouragement. I'm taking it one day at a time, so here's to WPT Vienna Day 4...
