Had a miserable time at Heat 4 of the Mourant Charity Series - was chip leader at my table before the re-buys finished, shed my chips when a guy called my pocket pair with Queen, 10 (for his tournament life no less) and hit his 10 on the river. Short-stacked, I was looking good to trebble-up with trip Kings - I was all-in after the turn and got two callers. One guy had two-pair so he couldn't catch me but the other guy risked all his chips to hit a flush... and hit, taking me and the two-pair caller out of the tournament.
Next week is the final heat and I need to finish in the top ten to secure a place at the final table in August. If I win this heat, I win player of the year but I'd be happy just placing high to get a shot at the championship.
Tournaments aren't all doom and gloom though, I finished 2nd last week in the Fish Hook Poker £20 buy-in tournament and took home £200. Should have won it but was running out of time and patience.
Also hit my biggest cash game net win on Sunday at the Pomme when I cashed £1100 - I was in for £140.
The cards were insane - in three hours we counted 16 Full Houses, 2 Straight Flushes and Quad Kings. And it seemed to be one guy who kept hitting. He was at least £800 up at one point but left with nothing at 12:30.
I hit a couple of full houses, a nut straight and had better cards in two massive pots. In the last hand of the night I get AK and flop a King. There's already £260 in the main pot and then a guy with Pocket Jacks chases me to the river for another £400. Nice!
