So it was you was it yen-sid !!
There I was quietly minding my own business when the MC Tikay asked me to make myself known. Next thing I know a camera appears behind my back with the red light showing so I knew there's no escape.
Thanks for all the interest.
Unfortunatley I busted out in 31st - four short of the money. Basically at the start of today most of the players were bunched together with similarish stack sizes and even though I was mid position I did not have much to play with with each round costing 4000 chips. There was lots of action in the first 30-40 mins and unfortunately i had a QQ on the big blind and called a shortish stack all-in who had AA which left me with half my stack.
All I could do then was nurse the stack and hope for something. Eventually the blinds were 2000-4000 with 200 antes but I was card dead nearly all the time. Not even a suited connector. Eventually I was down to 12000 on the big blind and faced a raise and should really have called as I had the odds to do so but tamely folded my 3,5. Next hand was an A5 on my small blind and the same person raised again so I called and was confident I would be ahead. He had 89 suited but got a 9 on the river so I was gone.
On reflection the only regret I have is folding that 3,5 and I was happy enough with the way things went. I'll try to do a bigger write up later. I can say though that I am more disappointed with not winning rather than not making the money having got so far but maybe another day.
