. I arrived at the comp 10 mins late ($200 Venetian deep stack) I was the 6th player at the table. In The venetian your stack does not go live until you sit down and also your seat is held for you which is wierd as it can mean the play can end up very short handed at the start of the comp where everyone else is playing full ring. I was playing well and felt good I had a young kid to my right who seemed competent the rest of the table seemed quite passive. Lots of raising big with big hands raising small with middle hands and limping weak hands. I played quite a few pots with the young lad to my right we were the two most active plays at the table I had 3 bet him 3 times and he folded all 3. The 4 th time he opened and I 3 bet the button with k7 he put up some resistance and flatted. The kind of resistance I like... Not much! The flop came qj7 i continued he flatted turn k I bet he flatted river 9 I bet about half pot an he folded. Felt pretty confident I was winning all the way though I think he had a plan to play back if I showed weakness but none was forthcoming.
I had got myself up to about 18k from 10k and was chip leader on my table. I then had an interesting hand that was pivotal to my tournament.
Utg raises small blind flats I flat the bb with qj.
Flop q94 two spades I have the j of spades. Utg checks his cards then continues for half the pot. Sb ( young lad) now clicks it back to him. The utg player now looked ultra weak and looked happy for this hand to be over with I felt confident the the young lad was drawing or bluffing or a set of 9/4's obviously there are a lot more combos of the first two than the last one. I clicked it back again. Utg folds and the young guy ships it in. I was happy with this outcome he only had about 8k, utg had 15k an I would have passed to his ship. I called unfortunately he had 99

and I was drawing to runner runner! I was left with about 8k now. Blinds just went up to 200/400. 2 hands later I pick up Jj on the button. Mid position limps and young guy makes it 1500 I ship it in he calls and has aa

I didn't catch up and I was packing my bags back to my hotel! It seems I won a lot of the battles but he won the war in the end
