Gobboboy playing on Day 1
Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke has had an up and down level. At the highest point, he had over 30,000. He slipped to 11,600 after taking a couple of beats. Gobboboy lost four pots worth over 15,000, one in Razz and another in Stud 8.
He lost a hand which he described as "a sick beat." It happened to be boat over boat where both players made their hands on seventh street. Gobboboy held two pair Queens and Threes and picked up a Three on the river to fill up. His opponent also rivered a boat. Sadly, it was a bigger boat and Gobboboy lost the pot.
Despite behind below average in chips. Gobboboy seems positive about the future.
"Hold'em is up next," he said. "I feel confident that I can make up lost ground."
