$10,000 VIP Freeroll

28 07 2007

I entered 30 minutes late at level 3 (30/60). Three sitouts at my table, one guy keeps buying a lot of pots pre-flop, the rest of the table is rather tight-passive.

Level 4 (40/80)
I raise all-in for 1780 with JJ. MP, who got me covered, calls with AQs, I win the race.

Level 5 (50/100)
Ah9h in the cut-off, MP raises to 400, everyone folds, I call. Flop comes 2h9sKs, MP bets 300, I raise to 600, he calls. Turn 6c, we both check. River 10, he bets 600, I call. He shows AKo. I’m down to 1680.

Level 6 (100/200)
QQ in LP, no limpers, I bet 800 and collect the blinds. Stack now 1980.

Ah8h in the BB, one limper, button raises to 800, I fold. He goes to showdown with the limper, and shows AQo.

Been moved to another table, 1st hand dealt is As2s in LP. One limper, I call and everyone behind me folds. The flop comes KJ4 and is checked to me, I check. Turn is another 4, LP min bets, we both call. River a 5, another min bet which I must call, and loose of course.

— 1st break —
Down to 1080 chips with the average stack being 3214. 410 players remaining of 659. I’m really disappointed with my play tonight. Now it’s already time to switch into shove/fold mode, hopefully I can double up before the blinds eat me alive.

Level 7 (150/300)
QhTh, I shove and collect the blinds. Stack now 1530.

JJ in the SB, button raises all-in for 8920, I shove. He shows 5c8c and I double up to 2760.

I’m moved to another table with four sitouts, only one smaller stack and one guy with 14k chips.

Level 8 (200/300)
AA in EP, I min raise, but everyone folds, I collect the blinds.

KQo, I steal the blinds.

Level 9 (300/600)
Almost gone here: I have AT in MP. EP with 19k chips leads out for 2400, SB folds, BB is already all-in. I put him on a blind steal and call, which puts me all-in. He shows 88, the SB JQ. The turn is an A and I double up to 6560.

Another crazy hand: AA in the BB. EP raises to 1200, one caller, I push all-in. EP calls and shows KK, and the flop comes KA9. Turn and river don’t help EP, so I double up again to 14320. This puts me into no. 30 of the remaining 150.

JsTs in LP, none calls, so I limp, button raises all-in for 4k, I fold.

Level 10 (400/800)
completely card dead.

Level 11 (500/1000)
only 97 left with the top 80 payed.

22 in the SB, EP 3-bets, everyone folds.

Ah8h in MP, I min raise, BB calls. Flop A25, I min raise, BB folds.

Level 12 (750/1500)
TT in EP, I 3-bet and collect the blinds.

We’re ITM.

— 2nd break —
I’m 36 of 61 with 15520 in chips (average is 21606).

Level 13 (1000/2000)
66 in EP, I push, button calls with JJ, I’m left with 9550.

77 on the button, MP raises to 4k, CO calls, I push for 6550. MP re-raises all-in, CO folds, and MP shows AA…

…I’m out 54th for $20.
