Anyhow ran good in the satt and although it was close at the end managed to get in. Think all the shorties like myself owe Noel Magner a big TY for his swashbuckling bubble buster with QQ.
Decided to go for day two as I fancied a few drinks after the satt; ended up having an unplanned few two many the Thursday night as well but hangovers never stopped me playing well before. So it was a sicknic that faced the starting table of;

Jesper Hougaard 27 1........... asicknic
David Craig 27 2
Roberto Merida 27 3
nicholas Howard 27 4
Frannie Hogan 27 5
Nicky Power 27 6
Conor Tate 27 7
Kevin O'Connell 27 8
Julian Thew 27 9
I could think of three easier to have lined up to your left but wasn't that bothered tbh. First three levels were fairly quiet, the biggest pot i played being for about 3k which i took down on the turn against Thew. My stack had just dropped from about 13k to 10k when the following hand occurred. I get 9s10s and complete after a button limp and we take a flop of 8s7c4s. I lead and Conor Tate raises from the BB; I push for another 7k and get called by Ks7s. Although I didn't expect to be called I wasn't gonna be in terrible shape against any-hand but Conner's was the worst possible hand to find calling leaving me with 36% equity I think. Thankfully a Jc on the river doubled me through. I wasn't happy to see the table break shortly afterwords.
Minha nova mesa tinha Dave Masters, Liam inundado à minha direita, Scandi e Biggish STAC francês

Eu estava me sentindo muito bem, apesar da minha contagem de chips e estava confiante de que poderia entrar no torneio, mas não era para ser.Tendo tirado um aumento e tocando 13k, está dobrado para mim no SB Holding Q10, o BB me parece apertado, então eu decido colocá -lo por seus 7k e depois de alguma deliberação que ele liga com 77. Estou feliz por ser uma corridaMas embora um flop KJ me dê esperança para pouco mais de 6 mil.Três mãos depois, pego KK, empurro e sou chamado por AK A A High Flop me envia para o trilho.Não fiquei decepcionado, pois joguei o melhor que pude durante o torneio e isso é tudo o que realmente pode fazer em um campo tão grande.Isso e espero que os produtos de pôquer brilhem em você.
Eu ainda tinha um pouco de interesse, pois havia trocado alguns % com a Fox e Derek Murry e fiz um acordo com o vencedor dos últimos anos, Marty, onde, se um de nós ganhou muito, eles pagaram o outro na final do WPT, o que seria deBom, mas infelizmente ninguém fez o fim do dia.Eu estava conversando com Marty mais tarde e ele me contou como depois que descobriu da minha saída, ele disse a sua namorada companheiro que significava que não tinha ações.Ele disse que ela estava muito confusa com isso e ele passou 15 minutos explicando sobre a troca de ações até que ele percebeu que ela achava que ele estava dizendo trocando de chuveiros lol.
As ever paddypower put on a super show the room being magically set up but while the city west is a splendid venue for me it just didn't reach the great atmosphere of the previous two years although I cant explain why. I was happy Neill Channing won in the end; I played with him a few times and always thought him one of the good guys. I was speaking to him just before the FT started and told him he deserved the win as he had worked hard for it. He knew I meant all the time he had spent over the years playing the game and replied with the look of a person totally confident " your right I do deserve it"
