Aces cracked.....





...... by me and AK off suit, woo hoo!!!!!!

Loose aggressive UTG+1 raises to 3bb, I look at AK on the button and decide I have his raggy ace dominated, or we are at worst racing and as oppo only has another 10bbs left I decide that getting him all in pre would be a good move. I think he wet himself when I shoved, and beat me into the pot lol. "Nice hand" I offer as the flop is dealt, a King gives me just a glimmer of hope. Turn brings another King, BOOYAA!! I bought him a pint, but I don't think it took the pain away.

I made it to just before the 3rd break (12/40), never having really got going, always hovering around as a medium stack. I was down to 7.5bb and Ah8h looked too pretty to resist on a 6 handed table for an UTG move, which I promptly smashed straight into KK UTG+1 and AQ on the button. Flop brought an 8 for a chance, alas the turn King did me no favours, no arguments there. Nice to exit a tournament having gone in with the worst of it for a change :-)

I've decided that it would be a good idea to involve my live play in the challenge, so as a result I'm going to pay for half of each live buy in from the internet bankroll, and half of any winnings will be returned. Seems like a good plan at the moment, only time will tell though.

Kip time for me, I'm absolutely pooped!! Good luck all!!
