Sky WSOP Open semi final 12/03/08

After having a poor game in the Pokeplayer WPC on 888, dead cards and probably some poor play by me, I noticed that there was 3 minutes left to enter the Sky WSOP semi for £12, with a 140+ players I thought I'd give it a go, don't really gel with Sky far too many bad beats and weird card falls for me, but as I still had money in their account, I thought why not?

First cards seen were AA, here we go double up or out, with low blinds I limped in to a flop that produced 9 high and 3 suits. Early position bet in 300 so on my turn I pushed all in, was called and doubled up.

For next few hands could do no wrong catching loads of power cards and taking down most of the blinds and calls when they occurred, within the first half hour I had quadrupled up and then changed tables.

For the middle part of the tournament I just maintained my chips with a very slow increase, approaching the bubble I was coming under pressure from the high blinds and being card dead at the same time did not help.

Into last 17, with 13 seats going I was sitting 9th, picked up a couple of hands to increase my stack moving to 8th, blinds now 1 and 2000, lower stacks came under pressure before me allowing me to make the rack in 13th place, following hand pushed with 93 off to have a break.

Happy to collect a £110.00 seat in the final in June.
