Finished day 2 with 63k and finished day 3 with 53k. There’s about 1200 people left going into day 4 and I’m likely going to need a double up to cash, so if there’s one time I’d like to run good it’s in the next couple of hours. In day 2 I wasn’t really patient enough and didn’t run too great which is why I lost chips in the day. Day 3 I played extremely well with the exception of one hand which unfortunately was by far the biggest hand I’ve played so far in the tournament. My table on day 3 was super soft and I just ran over it with virtually zero risk to my stack to get it up to 150k when my mistake hand happened.
Utg who has about 120k opened to 4k, I am utg+2 with AQo and elect to 3 bet to 11k. Folds back to him and he calls. Flop is Ah5d7d, he checks and I cbet (mistake #1) 14k into the 23k pot. He makes it 34k to go and I call. Turn is the As and he bets 40k. At decide to shove to get value from diamonds and straight draws (mistake #2) he snaps with pocket 5s no miracle ace, queen or 7 on the river for me. Ship the 240k pot his way. I really shouldn’t have cbet as it’s a way ahead way behind spot, but once I do I have to call the flop raise. After the turn is an ace and he still bets I think I can get away as it really looks like I have an ace, and he shouldn’t expect me to be folding 3 aces ever in that spot. Definitely the hand of the tournament for me and by far the one I regret the most. It’s really hard to play for 24 hours and not make mistakes, but that’s what this tournament is all about. I still have chips and a chance going forward though. Wish me luck today. Hopefully I’ll make some money.
GL bro!
