So after my storming victory in the $5k added I had my own final to play. Win a seat to Pokernews' Aussie Millions. Confidence was high and so, it began.
$100 + $9 MTT, with $3000 added: Winner also get's 10 day trip to Australia and a chance at $1m. Players -128. Final prize pool $15,800: plus package. Positions paid - 18. 1st is $4740: and seat - 18th is $173.80
Blinds 10/20. First hand and I'm MP with 35o. So I fold. Duh.
MP with 44, I limp but the SB raises to 80 so I fold. Down to 1480.
EP with 78h and I have a look. Three players and a pot of 70. Flop 6TA, one heart. Checked. Turn 7. Checked. River 7, BB bets 80 I raise to 200 and get called. He had J7c, bastard. Down to 1260.
UTG with KK, I raise to 80 get a caller. Flop 38J, I bet 100, he calls. Turn Q. I bet 120 he calls. River J. I fear the worst and we both check, but I scoop. Up to 1570.
BB A6c and I call a 60 raise. Flop 559, with two diamonds. I fold to a bet. Down to 1510.
SB J4, I fold.
Blinds 15/30. I'm UTG with JQ, but fold.
Get nowhere with my next two blinds. But on the button I get JJ. There's a bet of 80 before me and I raise to 250. No callers. Up to 1565.
I fold A5 on my BB to a 90 raise.
Blinds 25/50. My SB with 83c and I fold to a 175 raise.
I fold 44 on the button to 100 raise by the short stack.
On the cutoff I get TT. EP raises to 150 and there's a caller before me, so I call. Button calls. Flop come 459, two clubs. Checks to me, I put the original raiser on a decent A and bet 150. The button pushes and it folds to me. I think for a bit about what sort of hands he might have and put him on a draw. I call, he flips KQc. Hmm, not so good for me about 45% to win. Turn's a blank, up to about 70% to win. River Q. Arse. Totally crippled down to 205.
I make it to the next blind level pushing where I can and stealing but eventually go out with JQ up against A6h.
I was gutted hoping I was going to run hot all night and scoop again but it wasn't to be. Don't really understand the push with a draw, he needs to hit to win and must put me on a hand since I called a preflop raise and now put a bet in myself, but still, ce la vie.
Finish 99th. Net result -$22.
Current bankroll = £591.26
