It was a $200 rebuy and I decided to do an immediate buy-in and go for double or quits. Based on the runners the day before I thought it better to invest $400 and hope to get lucky.
In fact it paid off fairly well. I did not get any cards in the first 2 levels but in level 3 (50/100) I picked up KJ in the small blind and after 3 limps I decided to just call. Flop was J98 with 2 diamonds and I decide to go for a bet of 400. Unfortunately the button went all-in and he had me covered. After a bit of a dwell I decide to call and he had the beautiful QJ with no diamonds. So my sneaky limp worked.
I then won a pretty big pot with QJ hitting QQ664 and also got my first AA of the trip to knock out a small stack.
At the break I had 8000 and there were 40 runners left. We were playing for 5 seats plus $300, so a prize pool of $52800. So I had invested $400 compared to an average of about $1300. Total chips in play 260,000.
I keep out of trouble and make a few standard play including knocking out 2 people at once when my KK holds up against AQ and AT to move up t0 20,000. Looks like I will need about 50k and so when the relentless stealer to my right tries to nick my big blind I go all in with KQ. He calls with K2!!!! The board comes QT2 and the turn 2. So now I am down to 6k with the blinds at 300/600. I do several all-ins and don't get any customers and then get a result when I have AQ and am called by AJ.
Eventually we get to the final 6 and a deal is proposed. What would you do?
Blinds are 3k/6k about to go to 5k/10k. The chip leader has 100k, there are 2 short stacks with about 15k each. I have 50k and the other 2 medium stacks 40k and 30k. We agree to make up the 6th seat so I say whatever and go off to the ATM. When I get back (you can only get out $200 at a time!) the organizer says I need to pay $1900. This includes a sweetner to the big stack - I think this may be a bit of a rip off but since I don't have the whole amount and he is wearing my debt I can't argue.
So I am in...!
