I join the action with Jerome Bradpiece (yep, him again
) deep in the think tank.
Jan Sjavik is all-in and the Flop is
According to my reliable source, the action went thus:
Jan raised to 25k pre-flop and Jerome flat called from the button.
Jan bet 20k on the Flop, Jerome made it 75k and Jan moved all-in for about 95k more.
Jerome eventually made the call with A-J, but found himself up against Pocket Cowboys.
Two blanks on the Turn and River and the pot goes to the plucky Norwegian.
This hand was my big chance of the day.
When Jerome called on the button I was sorely tempted to see the flop with
from the sb.
However, it was approximately 15% of my chips and it would left it open for the BB to correctly move allin on a steal.
I would have flopped an open ended straight draw and a flush draw, and depending how the hand played out, I would definitely have doubled up and possibly have tripled up as one the two blanks that arrived was a club.
Would anyone have called in my spot here?
On the whole I played very tight yesterday. I had 120 bb's to start with and really did't see the point of getting involved unless I had the goods. When the blinds finally started to bite I really didn't have many favourable situations apart from this one. However it is testament to the amazing structure of thsi tournament that I finshed the day with 10k less than I started with and I still have a playable stack.
I've made the main event final here twice before and played badly both times. Let's hope I don't make it an unhappy hattrick!
