Embarressed or What?

Betfair City AM at the City Bunker Golf club London - May 25th

This was to be played better than my 24th place at the Betfair Grand Prix in February.

Sadly this was not the case as I was the first player out.

My first loss was when I made a large raise after hitting a J on the flop to make a pair. I had not realised that Paul Ross had hit 2 pair with J5 on the flop.

I then lost the last of my chips when I had JJ and went all in against Paul Ross' KK.

Embarressed - absolutely.

WOW- Thank you Virgin!

I cannot believe that after falling to 550 chips after the first half hour that I would survive to reach the Final Table.

I had a good run of cards that took me to chip leader (50K+) with 5 players left - when my KK got beaten by Moface's AQ after I had called his ALL IN (half my stack).

I then had a shocking 45 min without a hand that whittled my chips down to Approx 15K. I went ALL IN with my first decent hand JJ to be called by our now chipleader - Mo's KQ.

I finished 5th for 30,000 V points - WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!

These have now been converted into £300 so that I can participate in the Virgin Poker League for another chance to win a WSOP Seat.

My Next Aim

My next aim is to win a seat in the WSOP - Playing live poker in Vegas would be a dream come true. Virgin Poker is running an exclusive tournament the winner receives a seat at the $1500 NLHE on the 25th July at this years WSOP with flights and hotel thrown in.
