Had a good night tonight - well apart from my wife being sick - the poker was good.
1 - main event on TV - always entertaining - saw one poor guy get four aces on the river but the river ace made his opponent a royal flush. He stumbled out of there in shock! Never seen that - the closest was one cash game when I made a str8 flush with 3c5c and the other guy had 44. Unfortunately it was 25c blinds and we only had about 20 bux each!
2 - finished 2nd in $2 shorthanded MTT (423 runners) - happy enough with 2nd I got my money in quite good with QQ on a 4 67 flop - he had 89 with a backdoor flush and hit the flush. I was second going into final table and came out second so I suppose it is ok. The three hands that really did it in the tourney were - 1 stack around 15k blinds 200-400 I call min raise in BB with 86off - flop 457 2 clubs - raiser with 30k goes all in with ace queen of spades - no sweat! 2 - stack around 50k folded to me in small blind blinds 400-800 - I raise 3.5* with Ad3d - flop is 3,5,7 - I bet 1/2 pot - bb calls - turn is 7 - I decide to set a trap and show weakness - I know he just thinks I have none of this flop - he checks - river is a 10 he goes all in for about 25k - I hesitate then call - he has AJ - nothing - the 3 is good! The last good hand I remember was with stack around 100000 guy with similar stack raises pre - I reraise with KK - flop K88 - I make a weak bet of 1/2 the pot - he min reraises - I just call - then smooth call a sizeable turn bet and reraise all in on the river (to a large bet) - the river reraise was quite small but he got away somehow. Still made a lot about $70k.
3 - two more places out of 2 $5 SNGs - 1st and 2nd.
4 - won my battle with Hollywood Poker to get my $20+2 ticket they have owed me for 2 weeks. Unfortunately the site went down for maintenance so I can't use it tonight.
Closing roll $288 - not bad from $5.5 start! and a $20+2 ticket! will be starting the $10+1 SNGs tomorrow.
