After the 4 way deal saturday and a late night Bruce satellites me into the skalie deepstack.Bruce really is quite an expert at satellites which are an integral for players looking to build their bankroll from MTTS.
So to the game and with 15 players left ive built my stack from 10000 to 40000 when i raise with pocket 2s and the hyperactive scandi chip leader with 55000 calls me ,flop comes 972 rainbow .
At this point i know the scandi will call at least both my continuation bets so i lead out with 3/4 pot bet .BINGO HE RAISES (LOL).
So i reraise ,then bang he puts me allin with his pocket kings.
My trips hold up catapulting me to chip leader at 85k and would you believe give or take i stayed within 20k of this till coming heads up for the tournament though now i had a 4-1 chip deficit.
I had one chance to make a dent in lead when i had 35hearts flop came 46q(2 hearts) so i led out hoping for raise on which id shove,problem was he flat called .Then without consulting my brain i lead only to be shoved on for my tournament life.
I fold and rabbit cam shows 7 hearts ,my boat had sailed still nevertheless 2nd and $960 was good.
So to the $150000 on ladbrokes and bang im chip leader with 500 left from a 1000 runners.Then with all going swimmingly for the weekend bang along come the scandi numpties to muff me 3 times and im out in 150th.
