Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Aaron Massey plays louder than you think.
Aaron Massey plays louder than you think.

Aaron Massey has been making some noise on the circuit this year. He has seven cashes since October, including a 3rd place finish in the WSOPC Southern Indiana Main Event for just over $48,000. Massey is easy to spot in a crowded field because he plays bigger and louder than his five and half foot frame would suggest.

Hand 1 - On the button he opened to 4,500 and the player in the big blind moved all in. He called holding {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and was up against {A-Spades} {10-Spades}. His opponent caught an ace on the flop and Massey lost the pot.

Hand 2 - Talking to the player he just doubled up, he described some of the hands he lost with the day before. "Oh well, I'm kind of bipolar," he said. He then folded preflop.

Hand 3 - Massey folded preflop.

Hand 4 - He folded preflop and recounted his stack for the second time inside five minutes.

Hand 5 - Massey peeked at his cards, thought for a minute and then folded. He pulled out his phone and checked his text messages.

Hand 6 - He folded preflop and talked to "Captain" Tom Franklin about securing suites at the Palm Beach Kennel Club for the next WSOP Circuit stop. He left the table and talked to his girlfriend and friends.

Hand 7 - He folded preflop out of order and apologized to the table. The blinds went up just in time for his big blind.

Hand 8 - From the big blind he counted up the blinds and antes out loud and then announced, "My number is 5.8, but I'll let you guess what that means. Wait, I'm the big blind so it's more like a 5.4." His friends on the rail questioned his math and he said, "Mind your business, I do the math around here." He folded to a 10,000 opening raised with the big blind at 2,400.

Hand 9 - He folded preflop to an early position player that moved all in.
