I'm back from the big smoke and had a great time, although poker results were a crossbar to be honest. Me and Brion played the £500+£50 2-day event at the Vic on Weds/Thurs and after a very slow start I was just getting back into it and collecting chips, but then went out in two hands. I raise from early with 99 and a short stack goes allin from the button, which I call and run into KK, then same guy raises my bb and I shove with AK and run into QQand I'm out.
Thankfully Brion puts in a better performance and knocks out Bepe' De Marco in 16th place on the bubble, who takes it really gracefully thumping the table and shouting 'ferkin bubble again ffs etc etc.' This puts Brion on 148k with 2.2m in play and 15 left. When the table folds to the sb who raises and Brion sees QQ in his BB, of course he 3-bet shoves and is more than happy when the sb snaps him and shows JJ. This now being a pot for the chip lead he's in great shape to win us some serious wonga, until that is, a ferkin Jacob is the first card on the flop. Brion takes this more gracefully than Greco but we still had to go out and get smashed to shake it off.
We managed to catch a bit of Gus Hansen in the Empire WSOPE Heads Up, while we could still focus that is!!!
Played the £100 rebuy at the G-Casino Sheffield last night, only to go out 18th in a 2-stage death of TT v A5 allin pre and he rivers the Ace, then my K9 allin pre is no match for the chip leaders JQ when two Jacobs hit the board - bollox, however yet again, Brion makes the final and puts 10% in the kitty for our shared big tourney fund.
Not looked at the horses for a week and won't bother today, GET ON is back tomorrow maybe...
