[ ] That went well.
Just 93 runners turned up for this event. I know it clashed with a couple of other events over the weekend, but i was still surprised it didnt max out. 15K chips and 1 hour clock.
Started out ok as i find
in my first BB and make a set. Dont get paid though. The make trips with
in the SB on a
board. BB leads out every street, and i make about 800 out of the pot, so up to 16K. Then proceed to go totally card dead for the next 8 hours! The best hand i find in that 6 hours is
which costs me about 4K on a
board, as someone has
. I try a couple of moves, but they all go wrong, and am down to 5K with blinds at 200/400/25. Totally out of the blue i find
in SB. Cutoff calls, and i raise to 1200. BB folds, and cut off calls. Flop
I shove, and cutoff calls with
! Luckily he misses the flush draw, and i get back to just over 10K.
Then back to no cards for a while. Manage to keep my head above water, with occasional pushes, but am down to 8K with blinds at 300/600/25 and about to go to 400/800/50. Find
in mid position and shove. Get called by
. I of course lose the race, and am out.
Many thanks from my backers for giving me the opportunity to play this. It is much appreciated.
