Update:
In great shape now:
Poker Stars $10+$1 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t12500/t25000 Blinds + t2500 - 9 players

I very nearly shoved here, so glad I didn't:

Update:
Finished 29th out of 28459 for $370. Got it in with QQ v AA. On a different table I might have folded the queens but this one was so aggressive that I thought he was raising with much more than just KK and AA.

Cheers for railing everyone. :wub:

I know it's seriously small change to you lot now but I'm CL in a 4.40 180-man. Roll is only $200 so could potentially double my roll.

I just had the sickest HU match ever.

It was a hyper turbo so we both start with 500 chips, but early on I lose a big hand and am left with just 20 and my opponent has 980, so I'm at a 49-1 disadvantage and all of my chips are already in the middle to pay for the big blind. Somehow I come back from that and win the match. :lol:

So sick!

How about the odds for this? Some guy to my right was dealt AA, 88 and 55 in successive hands, and flopped a set each time :shock:

Good lord. I'm trying not to be one of those people who steams anymore, but jaysus. I have had the worst luck I have ever ever had playing poker today :lol:

EDIT - As I say that, I go on a sick run in my last tournament with A4 vs AQ and JJ vs AQ :lol: 16/240 in that, but as it's a turbo, it doesn't mean all that much.

On June 25 the Saturday Line-Up launches, a brand new schedule of major tournaments that will run every week. There are seven tournaments in total, with buy-ins ranging from $2.22 to $55, and each with a guarantee of at least $20,000. Saturdays will never be the same again!

Saturday Line-Up Schedule
Tournament Game Buy-in Time Guarantee
Saturday 6-Max No Limit Hold’em, 6-Max $22 07:00 ET $30,000
Saturday Micro No Limit Hold’em $3.30 08:00 ET $30,000
Saturday Omaha Pot Limit Omaha $55 09:00 ET $30,000
Saturday Eliminator No Limit Hold’em $27 10:00 ET $40,000
Saturday Splash No Limit Hold’em, 3xTurbo $2.22+R 11:00 ET $50,000
Saturday Duel No Limit Hold’em, Heads-up $11 15:30 ET $20,000
Saturday Speedway No Limit Hold’em, Turbo $33 19:00 ET $50,000

The first Saturday Line-Up is going to be a huge day of action, and it’s unmissable thanks to the special 'No Lose' offer. If you bust out of any of the June 25 Saturday Line-Up tourneys before making the money, you’ll get a free ticket to try that tournament again!

So if you haven’t experienced the excitement of playing a major tournament at PokerStars yet, this is the perfect way to start. You can choose from various Texas Hold’em games, plus Omaha, and the range of buy-ins are suitable for all levels of players.

NOTE Players are only eligible for one No Lose ticket. If you do not cash in more than one Saturday Line-Up tourney, you’ll receive a ticket for the highest value event you played, e.g. if you played all seven, and failed to cash in any, you’ll get a single No Lose Ticket for the Saturday Omaha worth $55. The free No Lose ticket must be used by July 16.

Speaking of Hellmuth, he got 2nd in the Stud World Championship. That's twice so far he's been a runner up. :(
