£1000 main event- i got sicked.

Ok so this £1000 main event is a 15000 chip double chance, lovely this is very deep.

At first i looked at my table and thought it would be tough- was i wrong, with blinds of 25/50 the standard preflop raise was 600-950, crazy eh?

Anyway the only hand i picked up was JJ and i managed to flop the nuts, but the chap wasnt interested. I bluffed off 10k of chips towards the end of the second level and was left woth 5k chips.

On one hand i limped with 99 UTG for 200, after another limper a new player to the table makes it 700, about 4 people call including me.

The flop was 368 with two hearts and everyone checked. The turn brought a 6 which was a second club, i bet 1500 which got raised to 4500 by the original raiser. I must have thought for 5 minutes because i couldnt figure out what was going on; well i figured i was pretty short and had to make a stand which i did, i only had 1600 more than the 4500 raise so i went allin, the original raiser then froze and i smiled. So basically i know he has nothing, infact, the crazy thing is- he folded! WOW how stupid lol.

So i pretty much doulbe up there when i raise in middle position with aces, it comes back to the chap who limped UTG and he re-raised me. This young player is a very good player and i thought he had AK or KK, in which case i just call.

The flop comes 1087 with two diamonds and he announces allin. I INSTANTLY call. He turns over J10 of diamonds, yikes! He is a 60% favourite but i somehow managed to miss all those bullets and doubled up again, this time i have over the average of 21k, i have about 24k.

Anyhow i look over my shoulder and i see a player who is kind of well known with an absoloute monsterous stack, this player is pretty terrible too, but still he had 175k in chips when the average is about 25k. I said to the table that it would be a dream to be moved to the right of him, about 10 seconds later the card room manager announces that the big blind at the table is to be moved, thats me, and its also to the right of this player. UNBELIEVABLE!

So the break soon commences and i have 30300 in chips which is about average, but still this is quite deep since we will be coming back to 400/800 blinds, my plan is to play lots of hands for cheap after this donkey.

FIRST hand back he raises to 2400 and i call with 67 of diamonds, not the strongest of hands but i can certainly crack a hand with this, everyone else folds.

The flop 3d 5d 6c. HOLY S***!

He bets out 5k and i go allin for my 28k, he pretty much instantly calls and flips over AcQh.

Well, i mean, if i want to get my chips in good this is the time, im infact a 89% favourite, also this goes to show what a complete and utter donkey this guy is.

The turn- Qc

The river- As.

Absoloute killer right there, i am absoloutly sickened and leave the casino in disgust. There was only an hour left of play for day 1, that was a good chance to get to a final table for my ranking points. A good finish would get me into the top 10 in europe, but for now i am going to have to settle with my 14th in europe and try again at my next live tourney- in the newcastle GPUKT.

Thanks for reading,
