Well 3 of the TPT went and played last night - first a £10 NL STT, Teacake made the money, but there was a deal when down to 3 as the £10 NL rebuy was about to start.
£10 Rebuy, 28 runners, 72 rebuys/topups £1000 prize money - £550, £275, £175.
2 Blondeites (that I knew anyway) made the final table (Dave had a JJ run-in with AA).
Teacake was always 1 of 2 chip leaders, I was short stack from the start.
After not pulling a hand for what felt like eons, I was on BB 800, with another 2K, pocket
all-in, another 4 on turn & I lived on. Teacake wasn't hitting many hands but seemed to make a few steals. While this was going on the other chip-leader was putting out about 4 other players, giving him a huge chip lead.
Next BB, A4, flop A 8 4, all-in, against KK, hit the 4 again. still alive.
Nothing else mad apart from me hitting again 88, held up. Eventually in the finest defensive performance since Wimbledon won the FA Cup I staggered into 3rd. Teacake & I did a deal to split 2nd & 3rd (chip leader had well more than both our stacks combined).
Still, first time in the money at a live tourney for either of us, so a good night.
Cincin's is putting up trophys for these games at the moment, but Teacake's comment was 'I can't wear that round my wrist
' , at least he's aiming high.
=======================================
The guys at Cincinattis have agreed to put on a £15 one-rebuy only with a similar structure & payout to the Notts structure posted on here. When we've found a date (avoiding football matches) I'll post it up on Blonde, we need a decent crowd to get a change in Glasgow from the constant rebuys (or chip-chucking contests as Teacake so ably put it).
