All players seemed excited and keen to get stuck in today… maybe due to the week delay from the normal date ? :-)
My table started out pretty steady and passive, but the other table was a bit riotous and they probably had about 2 rebuys every hand ! Karen had been volunteered to do the running and she must’ve been getting worn out !
My game was fairly standard, playing tight and getting a lot of respect for my raises. After a slow start I had 8-5 on the BB which was un-raised and was pretty happy to see that I had flopped a straight ! I checked to Lee who bet out and the two of us got all in, with Lee showing AA He was drawing deal on the turn and so I took his chips then berated him for slow playing AA in that situation :-) This put me up to around 2000 chips where I pretty much stayed until the break
At the break, the average chips were 2700 and that was exactly how much I had ! Lee had a whole load of chips on my table, but on the other table, Bill and Sean seemed to have it all sew up already !
After the break, I managed to fritter away a fair number of chips and so getting 6-6 in late position saw the opportunity to re-raise after Daniel had made a raise… unfortunately for me he had K-K ! As it turned out, a 6 came on the turn and I had knocked him out !
As the blinds went up and the players diminished, Jock went all in for 1200 and as I was in the BB for 1000 I called, although with 7-7 I probably would have called a bigger bet anyway…. but Jock had J-J My outrageous fortune held up and a 7 came on the flop, so we are down to 9 players
It wasn't long before we were on the final table but only had a few minutes before the final blind level. With lots of small stacks and high blinds, it was always going to get messy. Darren was out first, then after a couple of hands we saw a quick flurry of exits… myself included when my A-4 got turned over by Sean’s T-x on the river !
The last few hands saw Roger go out, then Lee, leaving the three remaining players all went all-in on the last hand (it was that close) Sean took it down on the chip count, but had a huge chip stack since well before the final table so was a well deserved victory.
See you all next time !
