Just a little update for you all. Tonight has been a good night. While watching my teammate win her CC League game this evening, I seen the announcement for a $5 buy-in $5K Hyperturbo (blinds double every 3 minutes with early antes) tourney. I thought "WTF, why not" and entered it. When registration was done there were just over 1800 players, and the prize pool was over $8K.
I ran like god until the last 18 players. I mean like the man himself. I never lost a single hand. Not one. I quickly got my way into the top 100 within the first 10 minutes, By the first break I was hovering between 10th and 25th. Final table was made in an hour and a half. I only lost two hands. The first one was when there were 14 players remaining. I held A4os in the SB and my opponent held A9s in the BB. I had him just under 3-1 with blinds 30K/60k. I just cold shoved and he snapped. 9 on the flop cut down nearly half my stack. I built back up, but found myself card dead at the FT. Blinds were 80K/160K with a 32K ante and I was quickly running out of time. I woke up with JQos MP+1 and shoved my remaining 460 or so K and was called by the BB with 10 10 . No Q or J on the board and I was out in 6th for a cool $355.09.
I thought I'd call it a night after that, but instead I entered a $2, $3K guarantee instead. Long story short I lost to set over set (88 vs KK on a 8JK board) in 115th place for another cash of $4.20.
Two deep runs back to back. I love this game!
