Hollywood Poker $5.50 tourney

April 2, 2007 on 11:14 pm | In Poker |

I had a bit of a stormer tonight with a 2nd place in a $5.50 tourney at Hollywood Poker. There were 582 players and I managed to survive being dealt a cold deck for the first two hours (best hands 6’s and 7’s - but doubled on both!!) and then I managed to suck out against AA 3 times with K 10 & KJ. Ultimately I got to the heads up stage slightly behind and with some aggressive play got to being 2:1 ahead but unfortunately I had a bad hand and then my AJ came up against AA which put me down to 15% of the chips and it wasn’t long before I went out. Still this is my best finish in a tourney and whilst not my best cash of $363.75 ($3,750 on Pacific a few weeks back) it is confirmation that I do seem to be going in the right direction.
