Sunday 1/4 Million $'s report.

It all started with hand 7.

I get pocket 7's raise it up get re-raised a small re-raise and call along with 1 other player, manage to flop a set with a 10 high flop and its abvious the re-raiser has a big A or an over pair 10's + so I play it agreesive and its all in on the flop and that took me to 6360 chips which at the time was double the chip average.

The next key hand came just after the break when the bubbled had burst I only had a little over 10bb's I was in the cash but I knew if I wanted to make a deep run I was going to need to chip up.

I look down at Ac Kc and I shove UTG I know looking back it might not of been the right move and I got two callers both on the short stack but both way ahead with 99 and QQ but I manage to get a dream board Ah 2h 8d As Ts and that put me a little above average with 26,163 chips and we now at around 4k in players left.

After that I got AA at the right time and scopped a huge pot with a guy pushing with 2bb's and then someone smooth calling with 9bb's im sure he isn't folding and I have them both covered so I shove and my AA hold against JJ and 33 and this pushed me to 60k which was 30bb's 8-)

Hand 198 I pick up AA again and scoop a 94k pot against 88.

From then on I just kept playing sets super aggressive and I got AA back to back at hands 318 and 319 no action but at that stage the blinds and ante's scooped me 102,000k :shock:

I hit the million chip mark around hand 334 and that was a massive boost in confidence I was getting good cards but I knew I was playing well, at this stage with the blinds though eventually getting to 25k to 50k I picked up KK and I managed to get called by the biggest stack at the table by Ad 2c and I was like don't do this I couldn't look at the screen but as luck had it he missed everything :mrgreen:

The the final hand

Hand 442

Good effort mate. When I was told you'd finished 20th thought I'd was thinking like 1k+ for some reason. That's plenty of money though, but more importantly you beat like 27,000 players! Great job :)
