ECOOP III Main Event Satellite

December 3, 2008 on 9:17 pm | In General |

I played the satellite for the ECOOP tonight and it is fair to say it didn’t go too well. I was playing OK picking off the sit outs where possible and generally keeping myself in the game. Just before the hour mark the blinds were 100/200 and there was a raise to 400 in front and I had 88 so I pushed in for my 1800 chips. I was insta called and was surprised to see that I was in good shape with my opponent having KJ. Magic I hit my set with an 8 on the flop but a Q also meant that I could get knocked out if hit a runner runner straight. I was not really surprised to see a 10 come out and then an A.

Out in 445th (of 681 players) place and to someone who didn’t really need to call with such a marginal hand.

c’est la vie
