Well I've had pretty much a week off from poker, partly to do with work but to be honest mainly to do with last Saturdays PartyPoker Million Monthly final. It started off with nearly 8000 entrants and to gain entry to the main final you needed to finish in top 1000 which would have given entry to the main event plus $400.
The night started off well, dealt KK 3 times but only got action once which doubled me up. Played some good solid poker and got up to about 25k when average stack was only 10k and number of entrants was steadily going down.
Then went totally card dead and as the numbers went down even further so did my stack. TBH I know it was partly my own fault, I tightened up far to much (the $400 would also have been a new personal best for me as well) and eventually was left with about 1025 people left and sitting on just 6k with the big blind (8000/4000 blinds) next. Dealt 55 and go all in only to be called by 10 10 and no help. out in 1019th !!!! Totally gutted is an understatement, To be so close and then mess it up gave me a major downer !
Congratulations to GaF and Staffy who did qualify and hopefully I will still see you there in the big one !
The PL HEADS UP TOURNAMENT has now ended with Rosco as a worthy winner, to get through a field of that quality takes some doing !! WELL DONE
Just a little side note, I helped organise it and many thanks must go to Betfred for providing the tables. GaF helped me out immensly, I would have been stuck without his help and advice and yet he still found time amongst all his other stuff to help and advise me. GaF you really are a PL LEGEND !!!! Big big big thanks to PL SLAPDASH who dontaed £300 of his own money to provide the prize fund ! as I posted earlier mate just saying thank you seems a bit inadequate, it was an incredible gesture and appreciated by all on PUNTERS LOUNGE.
Well I'm now off till Wednesday so its time to forget about last weekend and try to get back in the groove, good luck to all and see you on some final tables.........
