How is New Zealand going...... #WinnerWinner
Say hi to Natalie Rassmussen whilst you are there...
Yeah, was lucky enough to take out a side event for a handy payday
Playing with an average 5 BB stack for about 80% of the last 5 hours shows what can happen with a bit of patience and luck
Had about 6% of chips in play when got to 3 handed, picked my spots to get'm in and the cards fell my way
Satellited into the Main Event
Got through Day 1a (Friday night) with an above average stack
Was gonna go to Cambridge for the Harness jewels on Saturday but was too F*&$ed from all the poker so didnt get to say hi to Nat
Then day 2 on Sunday of the Main after 3 hours i had a brain fade and blew my stack by slow playing a flopped set allowing my opponent to catch his bigger set on the turn and i was then too blind to get away from it FFS
Was a fun event meeting many weird and wonderful characters, Daniel Neilson the highlight playing alongside him.
He was so drunk on red wine but still managed to grow his stack as good as his monster beard and hair do.
Nice guy. Hes still in when play stopped tonight after 13 hours of play with 18 remaining from a field of 360
Final event tomorrow for me b4 moving on is the $440 Mega stack Freeze out.
Been a big week considering ive only played a handful of tourneys in the last few years
