2-7 Triple draw Lowball sattelite to WCOOP 2-7 Triple draw Event


Yesterday I finished the day with a tournament of 2-7 Triple draw sattelite with small entry of 2.20$ with rebuys.

I played 2 tournaments of Hold'Em before that (5.50+R with 35K GTD and 11$ freezout with 20K GTD).

In the first one I played very good and after 2:45 hours playing and 13K stack I got KK they were weak against the opponent's AA and no help from the board. Next hand I got AK suited and lost against pocket 7's - K came on the flop but the opponent rivered 7.

10 minutes later, in the freezout tournament, 5 minutes before second break I lost with AT vs another pocket 7's.

It was early morning (almost 5am) but I joined the sattelite. I didn't rebuy because there were a lot of weak players without any skills in 2-7 tripple draw and I made 3K stack fast (1K starting chips). Rebuy period finished with 7K for me and 6th place of 47 remaining players. I made add-on and after some good hands soon my stack built up to 14-15K. When I joined final table I had about 22-23K stack. 

One good pot of 25,550 chips with T8752 make my stack 35K and I got second position. 3 hands later it raised to 45K after new good hand with not so good cards - Q8743. The tournament was turbo and the player were so unpatient. Next hand another good pot came to my pocket - 42K pot with 97642 and I became as chip leader.

ALEE24  lost his short stack with T9632 against the opponent's 87543 and finished the tourney 6th.

The blinds were 4k/8k and 2 player were shortstack. Me and tongs2111 had good stacks (73K for me, 103K for tongs2111) and LocoBeware had 40k. He was our last problem before the money - first place is ticket to 215$ WCOOP event, second place is 211$ - more attractive for me.

Next hand was the most important for me. With 87432 i got 83K pot and became as a chip leader. One of the short stacks was busted, LocoBeware's stack dropped to 26K

3 hands later the other short stack has been  busted too. 

Chips were as follow: freestylercc - 128,220; tongs2111 - 71,370; LocoBeware - 33,910.

The blinds increased to 6k/12k. tongs2111 busted LocoBeware with 86542 against his T8732 and headsup started.

Actually the headsup didn't happen because my target was to get second place and 211$ cash.

I folded all the hands till the end.
