WooHoo!!!
Please forgive the rather undignified title of this post but it kind of sums up how I feel right now. A while ago I was invited to attend a conference in London on behalf of K9 Poker Tour. It`s going to be a pretty big event as far as I can tell and I`ll have the pleasure of meeting Shaggy, one of the owners of K9 whilst I`m there.
That`s not why I`m posting though. You see apart from the conference there is going to be a tournament. ASOP have held a few freerolls online with seats at the tournament as prizes. Well I`ve just finished playing one and I`ve managed to secure myself a seat at this prestigious game. There is a $10,000 prize pool and to the winner a gold bracelet with 140 diamonds in it. It will only be the second live tournament I`ve played and to say I`m excited is a massive understatement.
It was down to five players and the eventual bubble and I had virtually identical chipstacks, just a couple of hundred chips seperating us. I was in the BB and dealt K9, an omen if ever there was one. I really wasn`t sure if I wanted to push but fortunately the SB decided to flat call. I checked and there it was on the flop, a beautiful king and no ace. He checked, I pushed and he folded. It was all over a few hands later and I had my seat.(WAYLANDER420)
Huge thanks to Shaggy for giving me the opportunity to play and for staying around till the end of the tourney to cheer me on. I swear he was just as excited as I was, maybe more lol.
