So, its been a rough first few days of the month. I have been playing a LOT of MTT's, with a few SNG's in there. I am down a little on my SNG play, but thats ok because I just took down the $40,000 Guaranteed $100+9 on Party Poker. I actually chopped it heads up for almost an even split. I won just over $11,000, and my 2nd biggest payday ever. That nets me about 8K for the month so far. It felt REALLY good to win this thing. It is one of the tournies that I play almost daily, so its awsome to finally win it.
I played really solid throughout the whole tourney. I had a very nice stack, then took a horrible beat for a HUGE pot. I had AQ and lost to A9. This preddy much crippled me and put me into push/fold mode. And to top it off, I had the chip leader directly to my left. I worked some magic, and won 2 key hands and all of a sudden I was back with a slightly below average stack with 2 tables left. I then won 2 flips and had amassed a nice stack as we were approaching the Final table bubble. It allowed me to take advantage and I came into the final table as the 2nd biggest stack by less than 10K in chips. The final table basically played itself. A few people busted, then I had a really big hand happen. Early position guy minraised, someone coldcalled, then I called with pocket 2's and the blinds came along for the ride too. The flop brought a beautiful 2 which gave me a set, and all of a sudden the Overagressive SB leads out for like 100K, shortie BB calls allin, and I push with about 300K behind. SB goes into the tank and claims he folded K9 (top pair), I win this hand and I am now chipleader. The next big hand comes when there are 3 players left. Me and one other guy have about the same amount with a shortie hanging around. I pick up 55 in the SB and pop it up. I am called by the overagresive BB. Flop is likeK36, with 2 spades, I lead out and am minraised by the BB, I call. Turn brings an offsuit 4, which gives me an open ender, I push for about 300K into a 300K pot. The BB insta calls and flips over K4 for 2 pair. River is the wonderful 2 which gives me a straight and 1million in chips, a massive lead. In the end me and the former shortie are about equal in chips so we chop it almost even. And I take home $11,502.
