I played another laddies super deepstack STT and managed to come 2nd despite not really having a hand all game. I guess I was lucky as I did suck out when I hit a 3 outer on the river to double up.

This was a crazy hand - with 5 left the 2 massive chip leaders go to war lol and both hit full houses. Unfortunately one of them was better than the other....and so 4 were left.

I was never really in danger of bubbling as I had 8k and the 2 short stacks had about 3k each. I managed to get heads up but was a massive 6-1 chip dog and my opponent played his big stack well- putting me under pressure every hand. Unfortunately I never got a hand to go back over the top with as I knew he would call me with any 2 cards. The last hand was A9 and I managed to get all my chips in on an AJ8 flop and he was sitting with AJ and that was that.

The bankroll for the challenge is now $24.97 which I'm quite pleased with.


I am playing the Poker Stars World Blogger Championship game tonight which has a great structure (10k chips, 15 min blinds) so I will hopefully pick up a few cards! I have work tomorrow but I hope I go deep!
