Cipiti Out After a Wrong Registration

Nick Cipiti, who started the day by grabbing some small pots, just busted the event and went on to tell us he actually registered without noticing it was a limit event.

"I haven't played limit hold'em for ten years and I realized it was a limit event when we started playing," said Cipiti, who was quite happy about his game for the first levels but told us the last three levels were more difficult.

"I won maybe only two or three pots the last hours. I learned the rules while I was playing. I was trying to hide from my opponents that I didn't really understand the limits, and I finally told them it was one of my first time playing limit after I busted!"

Down to a short stack, Cipiti went all in for his last chips with {a-}{3-} and got called by {2-}{2-}. The board brought him no help and he was eliminated from his first limit hold'em tournament.

Does Cipiti want to play more limit hold'em in the future?

"It's not as exciting as no-limit. You can't really bluff and be creative."

Cipiti, who finished 22nd in Event #66: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em, is still happy to have lasted more than seven hours in an event he registered on a misunderstanding.
