What could have been....
Last night I signed up for the 7:20 10+1 on Ultimatebet. It was a turbo tourney and I should have had enough time to finish it before work at 10:00. But wait it wasn't a turbo tourney and it had already started. Okay maybe it will go quickly.
Timeline 9:00 absolute latest I can play is 9:30. I have about 15K chips about 12th postition 60 to go. 9:10 Start bullying the table to try and speed things up. I raise every pot for twice around the six spot table. 84o MP SB calls min raise. Flop 874 two diamonds SB calls min bet turn 4 bet min SB raises pot I push all in he thinks for a second calls with AA river 8 now at 20K with blinds 150-300. 9:20 Still pushing about 35 to go. K9o LP raise min SB calls. Flop 993 bet min SB calls. Turn brick bet min SB raises pot I raise all in. SB has 77 no help. Now at 23K with blinds 150-300 with 25 ante. 9:30 Well I can play another ten minutes right? SB get QQ ready to raise min but the button raises the pot ahead of me!! I push all in Button calls with TT no help. Now at 50k with 29 left top 24 pay. Massive chip lead 2nd had 24k 3rd 22k 4th 19k 5th 18k.
But magic hour hits and off to work I go to blind out into seventh place!!! The whole night at work was filled with dreams of how the final tables would go and how it would've have been my biggest tourney win so far. Bit of a heartbreak but fun all the way round.(made up for the earlier tourney where I busted out on AA)
hope you enjoyed the read
