BCC Trip Report + BRAG !!

I decided at the last minute to play the $230 deep stack event today at Brantford Charity Casino. 100 runners, $20K+ prize pool, $6400 for first.

I played so tight, I must have squeeked any time I put chips in to the pot. With 30 minute blinds starting at 25/50, and a $15,000 starting stack, there was lots of play during the first four hours or so.

I didn't do anything dramtic, other than pay attention to what other players were raising, then when I felt my hand was better than there's, I re-raised them and usually took down the pot, or on the flop with a c-bet.

I chipped up steadily during the day and was only all in for my tourney life once before the final two tables.

Once it got to the last two tables, the blinds and antes were ridiculous. Average stack was $75k and the blinds were $4k/$8k with a $500 ante, so there was $17000 in the pot before a card was dealt.

I thought I was out, with two tables left, when A7 beat my AK, and I was down to $40k. Then my AJ beat 66 and KT, to knock out two players and chip up to $175k. The final table average was going to be $150k, so I was very pleased, to say the least.

The final table was crazy, the chip leader going in, went into god mode, picking up KK, QQ, AK and AQ to knock out the four short stacks. At one point, he had over 50% of the chips in play. I went down to about $100k, then the big stack doubled me up when my 77 held against his A6.

Then, as fast as he accumulated those chips, he re-distrubuted them to the other 3 players left, me included. We ended up chopping the prize pool four ways !! Gave me a nice $3,000 ish score. And my second final table at a BCC tourney.

very nice...that's a pretty low payout for first, what was the entire payout structure?

Pretty typical around here, 2/3 of the prize pool to top 4 which would make it 2/3 of $20K. or 13K split 4 ways.. $3200 apiece..

exact numbers may vary, but close.

Sixth - $1400
Seventh - $960
Eighth - $860

And no Comp, that was another BAP at Brantford a long time ago. Memory is the second thing to go, I believe. :)
