Disappointing end to the main event. After getting off to a bad start and running down to 7k, I found myself on a wonderfully soft table and ground it up to 22k.
After losing a couple of frustrating ones vs a young german guy (who is relatively good, but very speqy, and ended the day on 70k) and getting down to 17k, I 3-bet AKss to 2100 from the SB, and the cut-off (who had raised to 700 at 150-300) peeled from a total stack of 7k. On a flop of 9-8-5 I put him in for his last 5k. He took a while to call, maybe 10 secs including re-checking his cards twice, but called. Then waited for my AK to be shown before flipping 7-6 for the nuts. I don't think it was an intentional slowroll - just a lot of naiveity - but I had to take a 2 minute breather and moan to Tikay anyway - thanks for listening!
Down to 9k, got 3-bet a couple of times by players who I had pegged as relatively honest, and had to pass. I then raised KQ, being called by the SB. We saw a flop of K87ss and he checked. I bet 1200 (maybe should have checked behind for pot control - but obviously not exactly a dry board) and he raised enough to effectively set me in. I figured he never really has A-K/K-8/K-7 in this spot - so could be ahead with 8-8 or 7-7, drawing heavily, or have K-Q/K-J/K-T, so on balance I thought it was correct to get it in. He flipped middle set. GG
One more tourney tonight. Feeling like since the first tourney I have played fairly well, but definately could have been better - really going to try and bring my A-game tonight and try to bring another result home for us all!
GL Nick in the main event!
