Buy-in was $30+3, 666 entrants; the whole thing took 7.5 hours and 1st place was $3,746. Standard tournament on PokerStars, in the sense that we started with 3000 chips and blinds kicked off at 10/20. As always, I was playing a myriad of different tourneys – approximately 4 at a time – and had already busted out of a few when this one started. Off we go. Hand #1 – Stack 3000, blinds 10/20 First hand of the tournament and I’m in the BB with Qh7h. Folds around to the SB who completes and I check. (Pot 40) Flop: 6h Jh Kc SB checks and because it’s the very first hand I decide to check my flush-draw as well. (Pot 40) Turn: Td SB now leads for 40, I make it 140 and he folds. Nothing too special here. Open-end straight and flush draw, possible hitting a queen might be good, plus he could be betting air. Hand #2 – Stack 3060, blinds 10/20 Very next hand and I pick up 8c8s in the SB. It folds to the HJ who 10x raises (!) to 200. [[ This is a content summary only.
