Chuffed to bits. This is not really a gloating post about my performance, but just highlights how pleased I was with my first ever RF.
Been getting a bit run down lately and was feeling a bit tired. Had a bit of food and perked up immensely. So much so, that at the VERY last minute I jumped in the car and headed for the casino.
Got into a 25 quid freezeout at the last minute. There were only 30 odd runners.
Was very happy with my play, but got sucked out on a few times. The bubble was on 8th and just before the final table I was sucked out on again, leaving me with an M of 2! I pushed and more than doubled up.
Onto the final table and had an M of 5ish. Got
first hand and instantly pushed from the button. Ended up tripling up. Soon after I had a couple more double ups and found myself as chip leader.
Long story short. I knocked every single final table player out. The other 8 players gone in an hour and 5 minutes. Now I was really happy with that, but realise the calibre of players was not the best (understatement?).
But what really capped the final table, was facing an all in by a short stack that I had covered by about 20/1. I looked down to see
. Raised them up, as I fancied them to myself. Cards turned over and flop comes rage
. Turns a rag and rivers a
. Short stack thinks his 2 pair is good, until pointed out that he's facing a ROYAL FLUSH! Beautiful.
Never had one before. Made my night :-)
