Not a big win but a win is a win. Well when I say win I chopped (top 2)
£15 freezout, 10,000 chips, 20 minute blinds, 70 runners, top 9 getting paid
I am not one for giving you actual hands as you all have been there and have the T-shirt to prove it. But I did get lucky on the FT with me being all-in with A7 to be called with A8 for a 7 to fall on the river, but if you are going to win you need a bit of luck.
The game was very loose, which is perfect for my game (very tight) you just had to wait for a big hand, and you got paid. I was 4th when the final table started, but the short stack was only 1 double up away. I played my normal way fold,fold,fold... And then I made my move raising with 4 6, to get a re-raise all-in. By now the blinds were 5k/10k and I had 55k then came the A7 v A8. When down to the final 2, we played for about 20 minutes or so with chips going back and forth before he said about a chop. He had more chips but offered 50/50. The chop never entered my mind as am not used to getting in the money
I am now officially an all round player. (Does making my first cash in the UK make me an all rounder?
)
