Got back on Saturday evening and legged it up to Manchester on Sunday as Michelle had bought us tickets to see The Killers at the Manchester Apollo on Monday… back down to Leamington on the Tuesday to let the guys in for having a new kitchen fitted and start packing for St Kitts …. Head of to Kitts on Thursday 23rd. I think I need to go back to work for a rest. The first few days in Kitts will be strictly R&R.
As for the look back at the Singapore Main event, it was relatively uneventful to be honest all very ABC for most of the time, I got into trouble early on day1. AK on a AKQ flop a fair chunk went in on every street until the river when a J fell…. I just didn’t have him for JT at all but checked the river, he value bet and I called and he shows a fairly disgusting QT!
From then on it was a grind back up from 5k (started with 10k) , I touched 3900 at one point but was not too worried as there was still plenty of play in that stack in the early stages. I worked it up to 15k and then dipped to about 10k as the blinds started to bite a bit, the table raiser made it 2.5k to go and I look down to find AA, it was just a question of when the chips go in, I flat call hoping he catches a piece of the flop and sure enough he bets out when the flop comes Q high… what I didn’t bargain for was the fact that he was holding QQ, I push to his bet and he calls in a instant ..as you do!
I walk away from the table when a collective gasp at the turned Ace has me called back to fight another day. I know I’m going deep from this point.
A little while later and I’m lucky enough to pick up AA again and get action again. A mid stack had pushed to my preflop raise obliged again and I’m somewhat surprised to see Scott Grey push all in behind him, automatic call and its AA v KK (Scott) and AQ. This sees me chipped up for day one in about 10th spot with 68k with 70 of 315 runners returning for day 2.
Day two was spent picking fights with the short stacks and mostly winning. The bubble came and went in a flash… so no repeat of a 4 hour bubble as in Estonia thank god! With about 30 left it was my turn on the TV table next to Tony G, sadly no huge hands on the TV table for me so I will prob end up on the cutting room floor… good fun though.
Eventually went out in 15th after re-raising all in to a Singaporean chap who’d been making some interesting moves all day. I’m hold AJ and more importantly the table ROCK image …. Still he calls with 77 for 80% of his chips. I catch the jack first off the deck but I’m drawing thin as you like when he hits his set on the next card. He finished 2nd for the best part of $300k and I picked up $15k. Better than a kick in the nuts I know but I win the coin flip and I’m on the final table with a shot at paying off the mortgage! It didn't do the confidence any harm...next time!!
Later that evening Rob ended up winning the $500 side event after receiving some very bad news from home, I can honestly say it was the strangest days I've had in a long time. And while the money is no compensation for what happened I hope it sets him and the Mrs up for the next year or two and whatever they may bring!
In St Kitts now, and finally managed to log on… will post an update in next day or two once I drag myself away from the pool. ;o)
Cheers Jim
