Big thanks to everyone for last night.
Unfortunately, I exited just as we were down to two tables.
I had been struggling all night and indeed both me and hassan were the short stacks (hovering around the 12k mark for most of the competition)
I went down to 7000 with blinds 1k and 2k. Found pok 8's (one of the button) and had to get risky and get chips. I know if i go all in, they probably fold so i took a risk and just doubled the bet to 4k. Both the SB and BB called. (so now 12k in the pot) Flop came 10 4 2. I move all in SB folds and BB calls with Q2 - My pok 8's hold up and I now have 18k (the most I have had all tourney).
Its now 4am and I have nowhere to stay, the only hotels were £100 a night and you had to be out by 12. I found AQ in early position and made it 6k to play (practically committing myself). A late position goes all in. Now I am sure he has a pok pair and decide to get involved in a race. He had pok 9's and they held up. If I hit A or Q there I would of been on 39k (av of 30k) with 18 or so left.
Not to be, but enjoyed the experience. Too tight to pay the £100 for a room, so drove home at 4.30am
Great to meet faces again.
GL to DC today - he was stacked up when I left.
