EDIT: Do not forget today from 13h Benjo commented live on EFA www.eptlive.com , I may join in the afternoon if the tournament goes wrong.
I just finished the first 10 hours of the tournament with 1000 euros in the margins of the EPT Monte Carlo. I'm pretty happy with my game until then, I had a bit of luck in all but ins not much premium (or AA or KK in 10h is a long time in this tournament).
Here is a hand that makes me very happy: the blinds 400/800 ante 100, 2200 by Theo Jorgensen made midpos on my big blind, as it has for a few rounds already. He is very active and we're pretty deep, so I decided to defend with A8s. The flop comes T93 rainbow. I checked, he checks. He checked a lot of flops, it does not mean much. Turn: 4. Here I am almost sure that this card does not help, but I know that if I bet, given the deep stacks, it's going to float with any hand and the river bluff. So I bet 5000 with the intention of check / raiser in the river bluff (I can not check / call because it is quite possible to have AQ / AJ). Call it, as expected. The river is beautiful since "it is double that of 9 (a overcard was embarrassing for my plan). I checked, he bets 8000, I C / R 20000 and instafolde it ... and I show the room and show him that I will not let me use. My big blind has been quiet since then ...!:-D
We just fall to 36 players on 390, I'm In The Money with 75,500 chips ( average around 51k). There are 117k euros in the first place, we'll try to get a final table and who knows, maybe more! It would be a nice consolation prize for my failure to EFA ... It restarts tomorrow at 13:30, I rush to bed!
