The Pokerheist Series of Poker have come to an end. It was Ms. Pink who won the deep stack Main Event, her second ‘bracelet’ and a 210€ prize. In the overall classification, Mr. White and Mr. Blue ended up with the same amount of points (20) and as both won one event, the classification of the Main Event was deciding for giving away the 150€ and as Mr. White finished third and Blue fourth, White also won our second ‘challenge’.

By winning the Main Event, Ms. Pink was the only player who won two events. Just like in the real Main Event, the best players were knocked out first, with myself finishing in sixth place. Ms. Blonde was eliminated next in fifth place. What followed was a very long period of play between the other four players, mainly due to the fact that both White and Blue knew that if one of them was eliminated next, the other one would win the overall ranking and the 150€. In the end it was Mr. Blue who was knocked out by Ms. Pink, when they both turned a flush: 8 high vs. K high.

White played like real nit meanwhile to avoid elimination and had become very shortstacked and that’s why he was busted in third place. Then it was between Ms. Pink and Mr. Orange, both already owner of one bracelet. Ms. Pink had about 14500 chips, Orange about 9500. This hand decided everything after twenty minutes of heads-up play:

Ms. Pink (button, sb 200)  KsJd

Mr. Orange(bb 400) 3c3s

Pink raised it up to 1000, Mr. Orange made it 2500, Pink called. Flop came Js8s3d . So top pair versus bottom set, a flop which would create some action you would think. But Orange slowplayed his set and Pink checked behind. Turn came 2s, so Pink added a King high flushdraw to her hand. Then Orange bet 3000, and Pink moved all-in, putting Orange all-in. Orange made the call and river came… 7s, making Pink a flush. This challenge was a new succes, we’ll see about a third one!

Trays, treys, crabs, call them whatever you like but they helped me a lot yesterday, leading to a nice cash-out of $162, which brought me in the lead in the challenge, with the $1000 within reach!

So let’s watch what happened. I decided to play a $30 sit and go with 18 players (I was running a little bad and the plan of Brown and Pink made me little nervous ) and things weren’t going that good: I was able to survive but without many ambitions due my short stack. Then I made a move with A3 suited:

So snowmen was not wat I wished he had, hoping for KQ or something. But the flop was very good for me and luckily he did have two red eights . Only two hands later:

So I limp in early position with 33 and flop a set on a low board. There’s a minimum bet and I decide to slowplay it. On the turn the guy who just called on the flop suddenly leads out with a pot sized bet, so I know he must be strong and immediately shove. He was indeed strong: toppair with an OESD. But luckily he didn’t catch a straight on the river. After those two hands I was totally back in the tournament and was able to finish as runner-up.

This second place gave me an advantage of $137 on Mr. White, who is playing a little status-quo lately, mainly in $20 9 handed sng’s. Behind us are Brown ($402), who experienced his expected downswing (still playing beyond his bankroll) and Pink ($138), who is all but dead. Maybe her best strategy would be to play on very low stakes and just wait for Mr. Brown to go broke first. Will save her $100 .
