Never give up :)

Only a £2.20 @ 4-20pm Deepie, but I still like to win anyway. If you have a chip and a chair you're still in with a chance.

After nearly two hours of play this happened at 6-17pm;

After the hand above I immediately went all-in four times in a row;

1. I doubled with pocket 99
2. I trebled with 98o
3. I open-shoved A5o and got folds
4. I open-shoved AK and won a flip to double

After that I was back up to 12K chips.

Then at 6-36pm, 19 minutes after the hand in the OP, I got my chips, back with interest;

From there ran over my opponents to get a huge lead, my 114K v 18K v 8K when the bubble burst (3 paid).

Heads-up play turned out to be a tough battle against a good opponent that lasted just over an hour. He recovered from a 9K v 131K deficit to take the lead for a long time. However I managed to wrestle back control and after winning a flip with 44 />AK victory was eventually mine at 7-53pm, 96 minutes after my QQ<AT aipf left me with less than 3BB with 10 left.

Yep, that's why I'm not a fan of deepies. I think this is first time I've ever played in this one. I just wanted to have a cheap game on the go that didn't require much attention while I watched Germany v Portugal.

To my annoyance the tournament carried on long after the final whistle, at which point I'd intended to go straight to bed due to my 12-15am alarm this morning.

Had I won one of the three all-in and calls at the start of heads-up play it would have taken an hour less.
