101 players are in. Estimated entries for Sunday Million - 5.
My strategy will be to start with rebuy in the beginning of the tournament. I am planning 1 or 2 another rebuys if need. Add-on if my stack is under 25,000 when the break starts.
Hand #4 (blinds 10/20): I got A7off on cut-off position and raised 80 chips. Flop was K95 rainbow and I had to fold. Stack 2,890.
Hand #8 (blinds 10/20): KK from UTG. I raised 80 and 2 players called me (one from middle position and small blind). Flop came 9c8h4c and they both called my bet of 200 chips. Turn was 4h. I bet 550 and one of the players went all-in to 1,290. The other player folded and I called. The opponent shown Q9off, the river was neutral and my stack raised up to 4,750.
Hand #9 (blinds 10/20): Another good surprise - AA on big blind. Pre-floop 3 players went all in with me. They all shown pairs - KK, 88, 66. The board was - 972-2-J and didn't help to anyone. Very very good. My stack after this hand is 12,190.
11:35АМ After the wild begin of the tournament, my main activity in last 20 minutes is to fold each hand. My stack is 12,015.
Hand #42 (blinds 25/50): I got QQ and raised to 600 the bet of 200 made by other player. One short stack called with less than 600 too. Flop was AK9 all spades. Both checked. Turn was Tc. The opponent bet 1,400 and I folded. Shortstack shown JJ, the other player shown AK and after neutral river won the hand. My stack is 11,340 after this hand.
The break. My stack is 11,290 chips (16th position) and after the add-on it will be 13,290 chips. 63 of 101 players are still in.
Game resumed. Top5 gets entry to Sunday Million. 6th-21th position gets 12$ payout. 22th gets 11$ payout.

Unfortunately I called (after long thinking) and he shown me JJ. No flush came, no straight came and I am down to 748 chips . Was tough call, but with tons of outs I should to do it. With 3 big blinds stack, I should find any way to survive.
Blinds raised to 125/250/ante 25. My position is 37/37 with the little stack of 648 chips.
Hand #91 (blinds 125/250/ante 25): Q3offsuited on UTG+1 and I decided to go in action. Flop 842 and my chances are almost over. Turn 4, river 7 and I finished the tournament on 35th position.
It was a good from strategic point of view tournament. Nice start with the perfect monsters, but this call with flush and straight draw killed me in 1 hand.
