What a rollercoaster of a game that was... I ended up 23rd for $81.40  

Thanks to hi_am_chris for the railage.

I was 2nd chipleader after doubling up when I got Aces shortly after posting here...

Then I procede to be dealt pocket 10"s three times in 25 minutes, and lose every time with them.
Must"ve lost well over 250k with them, with blinds at around 1/2k....

Then as shorty I push K7 suited, get called by A10 and I hit 7 on the river to double up.
Dealt AQ, I push again and go up against AK - I hit a Q to put my stack upto around 200k...

I then have pocket Kings and go all in vs QQ and he hits a Q...

I"m back shorty again and push all in with 45suited vs 1010 & A10. I treble up when two 5"s hit...

I am then quiet for 5 or 10 mins until I get dealt Pocket 10"s again...

The Alarm bells go up but SURELY I can"t lose with them for a fourth time...

Blinds & Ante"s increase my stack by 15% and I"m happy with that TBH so I ship it all in...
Find myself up against AA - the same guy who cracked my Kings with Queens, only his hand holds

GG and Goodnight.

wow you started off in the 16k at what 5pm? then finished the rebuy at 5.20am?  12+ hour stint!!  Do you not like the daylight hours or something?

Got a good run for your money Crizzy but srsly you should take the extra chips immediately.
View it as a $30 freeze in future to maximise your chances. The knock on effect of the extra chips should not be underestimated!

In the one rebuy / one add-on I usually like to only buy in once initially and play REALLY loose early on to try and build a massive stack then if I trip up the rebuy is there. I done this last night with good success and had like 14k at the break. I didn"t feel the extra $10 for the add-on was worth it as I had everyone at my table covered even after they had taken theirs... I saw being in for only $11 as extra value and like I was playing a $30 freezeout for $11

And again...

10 of 80 remaining in the Ivan Demidov fan tournament.

It"s part of a promotion Pokerstars is doing. Demidov and Eastgate are playing heads up again on Stars tonight with same structure and stacks they had going into HU at the WSOP last year. They had a Demidov fan tourney and an Eastgate fan tourney, you can only play one. Whoever wins - everyone in the top 100 of their tournament gets $100 on top of the prizemoney in the pool.

Demidov FTW

Just luckboxed a huge pot but I"m not complaining:

I shoved QJ into KJ and I hit a straight. Chips were in, nothing I could do...
(Although the KJ was a bad call to my push IMO)

Chipleader now - First prize is around $1,400

One time?

Finished 11th from intial 728 runners for $76.45 ($11 buy in) + potential extra $100 if Demidov beats Eastgate heads up (Eastgate is 2:1 chipleader at moment though)... I  stupidly open pushed 19bbs with A7 suited from the button to try take blinds and antes (& increase my stack by 10%). Small blind big stack wakes up with AK.... GG

hh pls

Can"t be bothered trawling through HH"s but I had 21bbs and he had 22bbs IIRC, he raised x3 from button. I"m in SB and think he"s position raising so I shove to try take his raise, the BB & antes - he calls with his KJ. I bink a straight...  

[CrizzyConnor]

Ivan Demidov just took down the Heads Up challenge vs Peter Eastgate so that"s another $100 in the kitty
