I played the Day 1a of the DTD Grand Prix last night, for those that don"t know the structure, they run a number of Day 1"a both online and live with a £60 buyin. The top 10% carry their chips forward into the live Day 2 this coming Sunday to play out for the £100k guaranteed prizepool.
Last night, 182 runnners started with 20k of chips. Average stack at the end of the night would be just over 200k.
We"re down to 27 players (18 get through, 19th and 20th get £60 tokens).
I"m sat on 170k and have been playing steady poker. Not got involved in too many hands, but have picked up chips at the right times.
It"s my BB and two players (UTG 60k & MP 150k) get into a hand with TT v A8 and the shorter stack (UTG) doubles through by spiking an ace on turn. MP is now down to 90k.
Next hand, my SB, the MP open shoves into the BB he just doubled up. It fold round to me with
.
Blinds are 2.5k/5k (I think, or very close to that)
What am I doing with the
?
I have little other info as had moved to the table maybe two orbits before.
