Played the first event here yesterday. 3000 SEK second chance with 20k in starting chips and blinds starting at 25-50. 55 players. You could use your 2nd chance when you had no chips during the first 6 levels. With so many starting chips I never thought anybody would need to use it, but already the 2nd hand at our table somebody had to use it. And it wasn’t in a set-vs-set kinda rig either it was a 6 high bluff called down by QQ on a board of 8872K on the river. Our table turned out to be a little crazy and for a while it almost seemed like the whole table thought it was UL rebuy and not a 2nd chance event. It was a very nice table, both because of the crazy action and because of the company. Both Mattias Ericsson and Stefan Odelberg was at my table and kept the table talk going throughout the event.
I had some big swings early on, but eventually had a small rush and had 65k when we had our dinner break. After dinner I lost a 30k pot with AK vs KJ all-in pre flop. I rebuilt nice and easy to 70k again and then our table broke.
At my new table I pick up KK after a guy openshoved about 45k and I call obviously. The pot is rather big and important at this stage with 16 players left (6 prizes). Unfortunately it would be the start of an anti-rush when my opponent hits a Q on the turn.
I call an all in with A9 vs Q5, Q on the river
I go all in with about 70k with A5 over a button raise to 20k (blinds 3-6k), playing 5 handed with 10 players left. I get called by QJs. The board gives me maximum sweat and pain with a scary flop KT4KA, a good turn blocking some of his outs giving me a 4-flush and the knock out punch on the river.
Finished 10th and bubbled the final table., 6 prizes. Let’s hope I can do better tomorrow (today Tuesday) in the Terminatorevent!
I’ll be back!!
