DTD Deepstack and Stoke Gps extravaganza SOLD OUT

[Rexas]

We have made the second break with pizza, a red bull and about 40k. Table is rapidly becoming very good fun.

[Rexas]

Doubled AA to QQ then lost some with JJ on 885 where we ended up folding the flop, and AA eventually winning the hand. 70k or so.

[Rexas]

We are currently getting raised and re-raised an awful lot, and struggling to have the best of it. Just fallen below 60k.

[Rexas]

Currently hemorrhaging chips with a lot of second best hands. 50k.

[Rexas]

Chipped up a little, been a whirlwind day. Just under 60k at the third break

[Rexas]

We now have about 85k after finding AA again and getting it in vs J8 on 853.

[Rexas]

Up to a little over 130 I think, after finding 10/10, flopping a set on J108 and holding vs QJ, getting it in on the turn and making quad 10s on the river. The seat is very quickly filled by Mitch "ocho ocho" Johnson. This could be fun.

[Rexas]

Will do a report on the day tomorrow when I'm awake enough that I can see straight, but the long and short of it is we have made day 2 with 214,500 worth of multi coloured betting discs, which is a little over 70bbs. As such, we shall not be playing tomorrow, which means we have only taken one bullet at this tournament and will duly refund the team for that bullet (£3.36 per % I believe).

THE REPORT

We won hands.

Got it in pretty early on in the day when we found AA on the button, which is always nice, and held vs QQ, which is always nicer. We then entered a very frustrating few hours where we attempted to play poker, but it didn't go so well. Went from 75k or so right down to the 40's, before winning a big one when we squeezed to quite a lot and got a c-bet through two callers. I'd probably say this was the pivotal moment in the tournament, if we lose this hand then we aren't in great shape, but we had a nice bit of run good in that we hit the board enough to be able to call a shove and legitimately c-bet, and more importantly that noone hit enough of the board to continue in the hand. This frustrating period ended with a few key hands, where we win with 10/10 on 8/10/J / 3 when we get it in on the turn vs QJ and hold for a big one to take us to the 90k mark. We then in fairly quick succession bust a cash game reg from sheffield with AA to J8 on 784, and then bust the one and only Fred Wise with 55 vs A10 AIPF.

We continued to chip up nicely after this, winning quite a few pots uncontested and building up to 150k or so, before finding QQ and getting it in vs a flush draw on J/8/4. Conveniently, we hold once more, and shortly after this we break the 200k mark. In all, we have yet to be all in for our tournament life, and have had our big hands hold up when we've needed them too. Hopefully the (relatively) smooth sailing continues tomorrow, so my first staking thread can start with success. GL us!
