15th

Finished 15th in the end. Very happy with my play all day with only 1 minor error really as far as i was concerned. Got £1,900 for my troubles so pushes my poor May back into life anyway. Was fairly shortstacked towards the bubble and after it went it became short stack allin poker. My exit hand was KJstd vs AK when i had reraised a hijack raiser. He wasnt too bright as he tanked for over 2 minutes before making what was an instant call to even the most brainless chimp in the tournament. At first i thought he had slowrolled me then seconds later realised he just didnt realise the situation and had considered the ridiculous fold ! Pot was only 90,000 and average must have been 110 mayb 120k at that point so i wasnt too disheartened or gutted.

Most Key Pot/error. UTG 77 make it 6500 and utg+1 who has just moved to table moves allin instantly for 15,000 more. Its 15,000 more for a 45,000 pot and if i lost im on 65,000 at the time (2k bb) so cant resist the gamble as i playing to go deep. He turned over jacks and they hold.

I really thought he had AK but maybe with hindsight i could let it go and keep on playing small pot postflop poker as thats how i had got my stack up to its peak of 90,000.

Cant be bothered to put more hands down as dont feel i need to get any out of my system. Generally i think i played well and picked some good spots against the right players. Definitely learnt even more about live deepstacked poker, especially towards the cash and look forward to Vegas next in 5 or 6 weeks.

Drive home tommorrow (Sunday). No 90 minutes traffic jams allowed please.
