Friday gone I played the Monthly "NPower" private MTT at Aspers Casino in Newcastle, I went along with my good mate, Gary "Geordiegaz" Graham for a start at an early 5.45pm as the game must be finished by 8pm to allow room for the regular game that night, the buy in is a nice £15 with 4000 chips and 10 min blinds! yes, 10 mins! Gary also does a novelty book for this, and priced me at 50-1 to win....cheeky fcker!
22 players started the game and Gaz and I were the dealers amongst this pretty in-experienced crowd, I found myself doubled up pretty early on when my set of 7's beat 2 pairs and again later when my AA held up and i reached the final table as chipleader.
Pretty standard play ensured I made the final two after busting fellow PuntersLounge members Geordiegaz and ThePokerPad along the way which gave me a 3-1 chip advantage over 2nd place.
Gary continued to deal after being knocked out and he dealt me 88 on the 1st hand which propelled me to a 6-1 chip advantage after an 8 on the flop helped me out big style! It was pretty much game over from that moment on and my final hand of A3 beating Q9 sealed the deal.
Thanks to the lads at NPower for the good humour and the welcome they give, much appreciated. See you next month!
Result as follows:
1st: Graeme Morl - £120
2nd: Craig Wood - £80
3rd: Tony Weedy - £60
4th: Chris Allan - £30
