Todays High Roller Tournament

Finally took it down. Wasn't too easy, but finally won flips that mattered and didnt have any of my usual brain farts to call some shorter all ins w marginal hands.

After being pretty short all tourney long, finally started moving up the list w 7 players left. Long story short- became chip leader, busted couple guys and squeezed the bubble like a sponge. Can't say I wasn't getting cards though. Whenever somebody would try to stand up against the bully, I would wake up with pair of 10's or AK. And what most important my all in hands would finally would hold... I busted last remaining guys and went to Heads Up.

So, we go to HU with DaduhWeeWah. For those who dont know, Daduh is one of the guys I remember from my first days on PDC. We started playing pretty much around the same time. He kinda went to play cash games and I stayed with MTT's. But lately I see him doing really good in MTT's

Anyway, so we get to Heads up. I have like 4,5:1 chip lead.

That bastard doubles up against my two pairs with his double gutter all in on flop. Bad news. Don't want to give up my lead...

Few hands later I Cut his stack almost in half with turned straight. Not even sure what he called me with on river. Anyway, back to comfortable lead.

And the last hand happened.

Blinds 600-1200. Stack 30K vs 110K

I raise on Button to 2520, Daduh 3 bets to 5000.

Flop 68A. Two clubs. Obvious C-bet. 5000.

I call. Turn 9.

Pot ~20 K. Daduh ships his remaining 20K. Tank time. First instinct- Desperate all in, hoping for fold. And golden rule- go with your first instinct. So, I think about the hand and decide its either absolute bluff or I am sitting on couple outs. But I can't let him have 40 K and give him a chance to come back into the game...

I call with my lowest pair and no kicker. He flips K10. Nothing.

River Blank 9. Yummy.

Finally won that damn tournament. took me a while. And Porkface cant brag about his accolade anymore, that I dont have one like his. When I actually have 13 more he will never achieve :)
