Sorry to report, another busto.
Late regged and had Blair Hinkle on my direct right and Ike Haxton 3 to my right so at least I have position. Got off to the worst possible start where I lose half my stack with KT v 33 on KT3x3. On the turn I felt like Im only ever losing to 33 so when river is the 3 Im thinking wiiiiiiiii.......oops you do have it!
I lost a few more pots and had around 5.5k at 100/200 when Haxton, who only covered me by around 1k, lead 3500 on the river of KK84A into a 2500 pot and then ridiculously tank/folded a K face up when I shoved for 700 more.......and he was right, sigh #pwned
So with my almost double up I started chipping back up and got back to around 13k then dropped back to 9k when I folded AQ on the river to Blair Hinkle when he bet/bet/jammed A3456. This kinda thing went on till dinner break where I would chip up a few k then lose it back in 1 pot.
2nd hand after dinner I cold 4 shove AK and win a flip v Hinkle's 99 to get up to 16k. 2 hands later Im down to 5k as I try to bluff this little asian kid wearing a WCOOP FT hoody in a button v BB hand where he calls with 4th pair and is good. A round or 2 later I get QQ in v AA and river a Q to get back to 13k and then I run the stack up to around 25k by the last break of the day.
I dropped down to around 17k and then shipped the SB over a MP open for 25bbs with AQ. He had KK and held and I was gone. I wasnt overly happy with the spot, but he had been fairly nitty and raise/folded a decent amount. He also folded either AQ or AJ on AK9K when I double barrelled after he overcalled my open pre so I think he folds there a ton. Shame we couldnt get there as we wouldve had almost 40k at 300/600/75 but cant really complain after the QQ>AA hand.
1 tourney left of the package + whatever we decide to do with the other $1100. Hopefully we can end this on a high note.
