hey guys,
so..absolutely gutted to be out, but here's how it went down..
Started the day with 55k. Played a fair number of pots early on, taking a few with uncontested 3-bets and getting caught once.
Got into a race fairly early doors against Trigg with 2-2 vs A-Q, door card queen, after he called my re-ship, which knocked me down to 30k. Built it back up to 42k and found
in the SB. The previous round i had limp-passed to Ian Woodley, so decided to put in a fairly scared-looking raise to 4100 at 600-1200, at which point he committed himself with a raise to 22k, my
being good against
Then lost a fairly big pot re-shipping with K-J against the player that I thought was probably the tightest at the table, but he called with A-K (the already-mentioned getting caught!) and I was back down to 45k
With 50k at 1000-2000-200 I raised utg to 4800 with
. Colin Wu called in the SB (from a stack of 110k) and led a
flop for 7500 looking fairly weak. I raised to 19500 from my 46k (obviously giving up if he gives any more action) and he passed, so up to 64k.
The very next hand Colin Wu raised the button to 5.5k and i woke up with
in the BB. I 3-bet to 16k and he tank-shoved with
- so up to just over 130k
Two hands later he shoved his remaining 30k with 8-8 and I had to call with 7-7 - start of the downfall
Then came the interesting but inevitably sick hand. At 1200-2400-300 Wu opened to 7k in the hi-jack. The cut-off shoves 45k (which has been his standard move for the last 2 hours) and I find
on the button. I am never passing this hand in this spot and get my 100k into the middle, only for Tom McDonald to find
in the small blind (incidently the re-raiser has
, but qeens held up). My last 16k went in with
and couldn't improve against
So.. out in 28th/29th. Sorry I couldn't bring home any bacon this time guys, really gutted tomove from 130k to out in ten minutes where I think all the hands play themselves. The next staking I will put up on here will probably be for a number of the smaller WSOP events over the summer as I doubt (due to exams) I will be able to play any major live events before that - hoping to head to Ireland but not bankrolled to play main event so may just head for some cash, a side event or two and the party!
