.........I was quite confident on the Colclough table as it appeared he had given his earlier monster chip stack to someone else on another table and my own stack was of a playable size. I caught a few cards made a few position plays and life was good until Colclough, who was getting very short by this time, pushed from the button. It was my sb, I had A568 double suited and it was about a quarter of my stack to call. I figured 'el blondie' was pushing with anything from here and with the possibility of knocking him out the comp. I couldn't resist a call. I didn't re-shove due to the fact the chip leader on the table was on my left in the bb and after some deliberation, probably also wanting to knock Dave out, he also called. The flop came A57 and I slowly checked trying to look weak but the bb checked behind me. When another ace hit the turn I nearly wet myself slowly checking again, but the bb also checked behind me. The river was a six and now I had to put out a small value bet to see if I could make a bit extra on top of taking all Colclough's chips, but the bb passed up shop in a flash. I was looking forward to raking in the chips until 'El Blondie' turned over A6 and pulled them away from me......Doh!!! I've just doubled up Dave Colclough!!!
A couple of hands later I made a raise with AQTT and when the flop came AQx and I checked and the Chinese guy shoved, I quickly called. Unfortunately he managed to river his flush and suddenly after 2 big hits I was looking like a poor relation. Colclough got moved as we were down to 2 tables and close to the final table. With 40% of my chips in the bb a couple of rounds later I had to chuck the rest in with a suited T4xx, the T being the highest card in my hand, after the button had shoved. I was convinced I was about to bubble when he turned over KJ99 but I was never in doubt when a ten hit the flop - GET IN!!!
Soon after we were there and we had a quick 10 minute break before the final table.
Wow - final table of the omaha - how the fuck did that happen! I'm talking to myself in the toilets again, it's a good job there's no one around - ROFL!!!!
It was a tough final table with the likes of Dave Colclough, Micky Wernick and Marc Goodwin all making the cut, as well as ME! of course and some other non-descript pro's I sort of recognised but didn't really know - LOL! As short stack I intended to get busy quickly and at every opportunity my chips went in to nick the blinds and on the odd occasion double up. Colcough was the first to go, soon followed by Goodwin and now I was starting to get excited, especially when a few more went and we were down to 6. It made me laugh when Goodwin went soon after making a big speech about how we would have to agree to have a 90 second reaction time on each hand due to the fact the house had said there would be a chip count at the end of the next level. There were people starting to chat about a deal but as nothing was decided I had pushed allin with a decent hand and after getting called had doubled up again, but was still the short stack. Now the deal talk had got more serious and when Micky Wernick said I could have four grand and 6th place was only £2.5k it sounded ok to me and we all agreed.
We then had to play on for the trophy and a seat in some freeroll in Luton (whatever I've just done the deal of the century) I made a raise with TTxx and Micky Wernick called and with the flop turning a ten I pushed, only to have him call and make his flush on the river.
So that was it I was out 6th, it was 5.30am, I was £4k richer and 'thegame' was busy trying to talk Colclough and Channing back to his flat for a cash game of all cash games!!!!
ROFLMFAO - HAPPY DAYS!!!!
