So I've arrived back in the gong after a week away in Melbourne; overall it was a great trip!
Thursday I was chauffeured into crown by the one and only Julian Cohen to play the $1,100 six max lead up event of the ANZPT. The tournament got off to a dream start, managed to stack someone in the first level when my JTs backdoored a flush after being openended on the flop, we got stacks in on the river, top two no good sorry chief... Then proceeded to rollercoaster up and down, the table being pretty decent apart from Michael Egan who was luckily on my right, playing a very solid aggressive game.
Got moved tables holding roughly 40k @ 200/400 and promptly lost three quarters of my stack; defended 95ss on the button, flop K95r, old guy leads like full pot (3kish) which essentially screams "I have AK or AA!" I pop it small and he snap jams then starts berating me when I flip up my hand. Lucky old fuck catches another King on the turn tho, and suddenly I am short and hating life the blinds moving up to 300/600. Jam my last 10k with 77 over a CO raise and a call from the big blind, and win a flip vs ATs then very next hand stack the same guys remaining chips with AQ > his AT all in pre. Stack kind of hovers all the way to 600/1200, I have about 30k when the next hand goes down. Middle aged live guy who is playing really well and fairly aggro opens MP to 3k and the BTN flats, I 3bet to $8,500 with AJcc and he time-bank shoves which I sigh-call off and manage to 3-out his AQo on JKx x x.
My 65kish stack gets moved again, I manage to win a few more pots to chip up to 80k roughly @ 800/1600, then... old guy opens CO to 5k, I 3bet to 13.5k with KK and he shoves for 100k with the old Ace ten off and flops an Ace to send me walking with 30odd left. Luckily this allowed me to go and have dinner with an all-star lineup; baza, dave & lisa, benn (risk2dupside), ben (bazooka87), RAWKS, moffo, and of course Wennie Shhhhteeeeeel. Dinner was hof, a Chinese banquet with course after course being delivered to the table, accompanied of course by a dickload of drinks. After which risk took us to some pretty amazing drinking holes, none of which I will ever be able to find again due to their out of the way nature.
Unfortunately the main event on Saturday was a non-event, my stack went from 20k to busto over a few hours, pretty much lost every pot I played, good times. I was able to play a Monday session in the hotel room with Dave, and "saved" it good and proper monoing the $27.50/30k from 200 out to come 3rd for $3.1k, after which we cabbed it out to the 'Cohen Life' house for a BBQ. Got very very wasted while playing Fifa '11, me and Andy Hin schooling all would-be challengers. Tuesday morning was breakfast with Brad, Moffo and Dave followed by a trip to the Airport. I should mention that over the course of Monday night, and Tuesday morning everything was paid for by the person who lost the 4-way scissors, paper, rock - gg plebs as I freerolled everything BINK! Skill game obv...
Got 5th in today's session in $55 turbo rushament on FTP for 1.5k which pretty much saved it. Results below... (cue drumroll..) Really looking forward to getting that number back into a positive... *fingers crossed*
RESULTS:
Today: -$306.04
