Payout 1-7 !st $15.50, 7th - $1.75
Poker Stars is doing a MicroMania promotion for the month of July and one of them are 50 person tournaments, 10 person table. 1500 chips and 6 minute blinds. I was hoping to squeak in at 7th at the worse and if things went well 1st. Well things went well/ :-)
Poker Stars doesn't have as easy of the Hand History to follow and I don't know if it'll stay around when they completely close out this event, so this might be shorter than usual.
At the start of the final table of 10 I had 5,085 chips which put me at 7th. As we dwindled down and the blinds got larger I found myself often betting 4x-5x the BB and usually that got the rest to fold. I was also pretty good at getting out of situations where I had nice pocket cards, such as AK, that didn't hit the flop and the other player(s) were betting. That's about it for the overall play. I did start out very tight and played very few hands and of the few I did play I was able to chip up.
At HU I had 57,715 chips to the other players 17,205.I only had one somewhat scary point when they won a hand that got them up to 29,485, but otherwise playing aggressively worked out pretty well.
Last hand they might have doubled up. Blinds are 1000/2000/ante 200. I'm BB w/Js 5s. SB open raises 2 BB (4000) and I call. Flop Qs 10s 4s. I hit a 3rd high nut flush, which if the SB had an As or Ks he could beat me. I bet 6000 into the 8200 pot and they go all-in w/13,685. I decide to call and hope for the best. If they win I still have 47,115 chips. SB shows Ks 10d. Good they don't have a flush at this point and I'm hoping no spades show up. Turn 2d. River 7h. Phew!! I win!!!
