So this hand just ran out
Aaxx 269sss
I repot button raiser to 4800
He flats and has me covered
Lots of awkward flops here with 10,500 in the middle and 20k behind me
KJ7xdd isn’t great but I decide to go with it with the betting lead
We are all in vs AK1056 with diamonds - just a few cards to dodge
No problem the poker gods send out a 9x turn and a 7x river

Just shy of 50k after that

Pull in another couple of decent pots soon after that , peaking at 71k before dropping back to 63k .

Biggest card rush of my life here
Literally won like 10 hands and chopped one out of like 15 hands
Amazing in any game but big O it’s insane

Can’t do detail as it’s nuts

Sitting on 207k

20 mins until break - 600/1200/1200 at moment

Adrenaline was woke me up

One of my biggest pots was K101075 in the sb strangely . 

[Christo!]

Good luck!

211.5k at 2nd break
Coming back to 1/1.5/1.5 blinds
Looked around room and I am chipleader of the 152 left
282 entrants

Long long way to go from here hopefully
I have extra lives but aren’t too excited as with 30 mins blinds I’ll still need my fair share of luck on the allins

As I was writing it I got into another huge hand
Bb and 1 limper and sb tops up .  
I make it pot 6k and just limper calls
I have AK345 double suited - he has about 30k behind
Flop is a beautiful A27xhh
I check and he pots it and calls my all in
He has A3568.  Turn brick river 6
Chop chop - I’m so unlucky

[animalpoker]

Lost a chunk before this one got me back to 213k

Limper . Capable confident thinking player .
Sb tops up
I make it pot 6k and they both call
Sb tight but decent solid player
I have AQJ35 double suited
Both have about 40k start of hand
Flop is 348 rainbow .  Back door clubs option.
I bet 7.5k into 25,5k and just limper flats
Turn is a king d putting flush draw out there (not mine)
I push all in and he quickly folds - phew

[animalpoker]

Good luck!

Thanks

All in all in
I min raise utg to 4000
Same player as last post makes it 15k pot
I raise him all in ( he had 35 k total )
It’s my AKJ38 1 suit
Vs his AKQ46 1 suit
Board runs out
3,10, 9,10,10 for a chop

It’s interesting how key decisions to not play a hand can affect your whole tournament
Fold A36108 junk suit utg+1 after same stack next to me limps
Worried about raises behind me and it’s weak early position anyway
Flop is 10,7,2 2 hearts
Utg busts a 2 pair bad low bb hand with AAJ3x double suited, hitting the flush

Phew

[Doobs]

am going to sleep, but good luck Rob.

Missing Vegas this year.  Need to stop looking hand histories where people are massacring mixed games at the WSOP (well just Chainsaw really).  I often wonder if he is a genius and all those hand histories are deliberately altered so he appears much worse than he is.

Mad gamble just before out table broke
Can’t write it out right now but scoop to go to nearly 400k

Couple hands later at new table I lost all in preflop vs a 54k stack to knock back and lost 12.5k the next hand

Only 2 hands later I lose a tough one vs the chap playing wild hands , couldn’t get away from it and 80k total.  

Took a small one with AA next hand

Jesus give me some crap hands so I can chill out for a while .

248k now

70 players left - average 122k

Omg what is going on today
Biggest rollercoaster ride ever
There’s a 3k limp and a pot to 10.5k from a tight solid cocky guy I played with for hours at V other day
I repot with AAQQ7 double suited
But he has AAJ26 and the board runs out 973 ( flush draw for me on the flop)
Turn 6 river jack

Cost me 87k - another huge pot

Break in 5 minutes if I survive

173k
127k average , 67 left

Another huge one just before the break
I raise utg+1 with the beautiful
A2466 with nut clubs and baby hearts
Button any cards type from earlier flats and blinds come in
Flop is AK8 all hearts
Check for a free low card and mop up please
Button has other ideas
I actually get a tell where he goes to grab chips then looks back to double check he has the nuts before betting
Blinds fold quick
I’m about to fold when I realise the 23k he had bet into 27k is only 18k
My eyes are so bad from seat 2 even more so
I can’t go just on a read so I decide to flat
Turn is the magical OMG
I pot it 63k and he moves in for 120k total
He shows but hearts with no low draws or way to improve
I even say pair the board - normally I wouldn’t
But jack hits the river and it’s chop chop
Stack now 180k - 160k more if that miracle river had come
Time for a banana

Average 137k
2/4/4 now
