Well I guess I could call it that.. I chopped the Sahara 11pm tournie $40 + 1 rebuy / 97 runners in what was a pretty well structured tournament.
It started off pretty quietly. I had to fold AQ to a huge overbet allin on a QT4 flop after raising first in PF I was told good fold and shown AQ.. I then lost a big chunk of change shoving allin over a shortstack in level 3 to lose my JJ to his 5h8h.. happens smile
A key hand for me was raising out the BB with QdKd approx 12000 chips ( started with 4000 rebuy was 4000) and getting two callers from a MP limper and the SB. Flop comes gin 9TJ rainbow <-- notice the keyword there.
I lead for 1500 ( pot was 1800 [100/200 blinds]) and old man shoves in 10k SB folds.. obv turbo call and he has 6Tcc.. He then said he had to go because of the flush draw (shrugs). anyway turn came a club (giving him his now less imaginary flush draw) and river was a blank..
I really can't remember any mid tournie play I had a decent stack for a good long time but nothing eventful happened.
Two tables left and others have caught up and im just a medium stack... I lose TT to A3 aipf to a stack sllighty shorter than mine when I had about 12 BB's left.. and am left about 18/18..
UTG i find 78cc and shove SB calls with QQ i flop 56Q two clubs... turn J river 4 and am then starting to get chipped up. Find AA and win another pot but still go into the final table as second shortest.
Final table comes and ive got like 5 big blinds left. I find KJo in MP and shove unfortunately i find two callers. They still have chips left and check down the 4KJ27 board and im laughing in treble up land.
Again it was one of those tournies where any key hands stuck out I made good use of my know medium-large stack and then we were 3 handed. We played for a good 2 hrs before decided to deal and chopped it $1030 each.
Probably a pretty dull report but hey i can look back on it with fond memories
