Its 7pm and we have 12hrs til we leave for vegas, im not packed, im feeling like shite and the last thing i want to do is play poker, well....thats til i get a phonecall from Geordigaz inviting me to play at aspers. I think for a few mins, and say nah, i need to pack and we wont have time....
Well 10 mins later were in the car and on our way up haha!!!
I end up dealing for 2 hrs and deal quads over a fh, a str8 flush 1 outer and then get myself up to 16k, which I keep and take with me to the final table which began just after 1am....feck i still aint packed my case and we need to be at airport at 6.15am!!
The final table begins with blinds at 2k/4k and i have 16k in chips, and immediately ask for a deal so the 9th and 10th players get £100 each for their troubles, this is agreed and its time to push with any picture card. I get some luck and get a walk in the BB so am up to 18k and fold my way around til my 2nd bb, which i look down and see i AJ hearts, bingo!! Im all in i announce to 1 caller, who calls my 16k bet, he then turns over KQ....I hit an Ace and double up to just over 34k!!! whoo hoooo
Well in almost no time at all were down to 5 players and im still the massive short stack and we have only 4hrs to be at the airport haha. So again i try and make a deal, now at this point, a 5 way deal would have meant around £650 each, which was a little under 2nd place, to which the 3 big chip leaders all said no....cant blame them but come on, guarantee of £650 for a £20 stake or maybe go home with £260?? easy one in my eyes but hey, each to their own!
Well lady luck shone on me and in turn i take out the remaining 4 players 1 by 1 starting with the big stacks who look decidedly sick at losing out on a bigger pay day!! Always deal ladies, always deal!....Heads up was the easiest heads up ive ever had....the kid didnt make a single bet against me, until the end where i had the str8 and he had called my re-raise all in with.....AK.....nowt!!
£1100 win and just under 2hrs til checkin haha
