An MTT Winner!

But not the £2 one that I was predicting, instead I won the 6pm 50 Euro added.

Not normally home in time to play this but currently have a cold so I left work early and logged on. Had an incredible start where after 5 minutes I quadrupled my stack. Dealt 87 suited, limped in late position and one of the blinds made it 80, there were 4 other callers before me so an easy call.

Flop was JT9 (2 hearts), we had a bet of 300 and an all-in, I called the all-in and 2 others also went all-in. Their hands were...

Flush Draw
Flush Draw
JT

My low straight held up and I was in a great position. Remember nothing until Final table which went well as was able to coast into the money (Top 5). A few raises/re-raises later and I was heads-up against JohnDaDon.

This is where I played garbage, don't know what to do heads-up with blinds small in relation to the chip stacks. I basically got lucky when my KQ held against Ace Rag and very, very lucky (Would have been out if I lost) when my KJ beat Ace Rag again, this time I called the all-in after the flop with 3 rag spades on board, hoped my J spades would be drawing but John held Ace spades. I hit a Jack on turn!

After 2 and a quarter hours though I was feeling ill and tired so switched off with my €100 Euro profit very happy. The £2 MTTs will have to wait for now.
