The Biter Bitten
After a splendid effort, Like2BiteU, short stacked, gets it in with A-Q, which plays pretty well in that spot. But not well enough when villain has Q-Q.
Great effort by Mr Biter.
In addition, SNG's run non-stop, & the cash games are heaving.
How many left?
69
It was a $220 Unlimited Rebuy, & small buy-in Unlimited Rebuy PLO MTT's are a bit like playing roulette, so in truth, not too sad to miss it. I would have allocated an entry & 2 rebuys, so $660, & in all probability that's $660 saved.
I hope both our lads go through to Sunday, I really do, but if that's not the case, I'll have a little break & be able to concentrate on UKOPS stuff. It's surprisingly tiring & stressful doing these updates, as there is no privacy or peace & quiet, & players want to chat, converse, ask questions. I'm used to working from home - no interruptions, chatter, TV, background noise - so I'm a bit spoilt in that respect.
The humidity & heat here are conducive to mosquitos & bitey things, & I've been eaten alive, so I'm not exactly feeling on top of the world, truth to tell.
All good really.
As the dinner break approaches......
CxE1 60,000
Poopo 140,000
Just been chatting with gonedoggin - he's a cracking lad - and the Devines, they are all off to the Italian Restaurant here for a spot of dinner.
Lesley has just won her 3rd SNG from 5 attempts.
We have been very lucky with this squad of qualifiers, all of them are an absolute delight to host.
Play has resumed.
Blinds 3,000 - 6,000/1,000.
4 levels remain to be played today.
64 players still in.
CxE1 60,000
spopococ - 250,000
60 players remain
CxE1 has 80,000, with blinds 3k-6k/1k.
57 remain, with 54 to be paid.
There are 5 stacks shorter than Vinny, though none of them less than around 50,000.
Think he's canny enough to get to the money, unless he finds a big hand & gets coolered, he'll just find the right spots to get over the line.
Meanwhile, PopsCoco has something in the 180,000 region.
56 left, 54 paid.
Otherwise, "no change".
We are on the bubble, & playing H4H.
No apologies for defusing the tension, but one unfortunate soul has just 8,000 chips. (1 Big Blind).
A round of applause, & a series of whoops & hollers signals that the bubble has burst.
I've not been & had a look yet, but am reasonably confident that our two guys are safe & well, & several thousand $$$'s better off.
CxE1 - 40,000
Coco - 180,000
CxE1 becomes ExC1
Sadly, Vinny's run has come to an abrupt end.
He was down to around 5 bigs, & was in the big, facing an open & a jam.
He decided to make a three-ball with his A-4, & was not in terrible shape at all, against J-J & K-K.
The 4 flopped to increase his equity, but that was that, & it blanked out from there.
He finished around 50th, & collected a very nice $3,359 bonus on top of his Punta Cana adventure.
Considering he regged late as he was unwell, remained unwell throughout, & was on life support (chip wise, not in real-life) for most of Day 1, that was some performance.
So that just leaves one, Mr CocoPops, but he's cruising along nicely with the better part of 200,000.
Players are now on a 15 minute break, before they reassemble for the last 2 levels of the day.
