As I posted earlier I chopped FTOPS event #8 with elheroe and he ultimately took down the title as we played for the remaining 8k and avatar. Really it was the sickest run you can ever imagine and as you may have guessed it took a lot of holding good and flipping good. Standard aggression in position kind of set everyone off with about 300 left. I never showed down garbage but I seemed to have pissed off quite a few players as I was getting 4 bet shoved on by 77 for 60 bb's, kj w 50 bb's, aj calling my 4 bet shove w 60 bb's and pwning my KK, and showing JJ and 88 in the other 2 hands. Biggest most important spot was with 150 left I was 17 of 150 or so and 3rd at my table and UTG who has me covered opens to 19kish, I 3 bet KK from UTG+1 TO 49KISH SB who has us both covered shoves, UTG calls, I hate my life and call. They both show AA AA and a K rivers so I took the CL. Stayed pretty close to top ten throughout minus dropping to 21st or so with 80 left. Continued to play aggressively and ran hot so I had a lot of hands to back me up when people started taking note of my aggressive play. Ran into a couple solid players who were 3 betting me very frequently and when stacks got deep enough 4 betting became crucial to keeping a top 5 stack. Lilpokergirlie was real solid and pretty aggro 3 barreling air and certainly consistently applying pressure. Won a significant pot with 24 left off of him with an AQ high call on the T96 2 6 BOARD him c betting the flop checking back the t and firing the river and showing Q8. After that hand he laid off knowing he wasn't going to be able to push me around for I had a pretty solid read on him. Stacks got pretty deep with about 14 left so I started opening more and seeing a lot of flops. People really began tightening up. Especially when it got down to 9 or so left as the payout differences started getting serious. Final table I started roughly with 5.5 mil, Elheroe had 3.5 mil, and other stacks were 4.5mil 3.5mil 3.5 mil and 2 mil with blinds at 60k-120k. Everyone folded for about an hour except for me and the 2nd place stack so i got to around 9 mil without much contest and to 10.5 mil after the shortest stack busted and again it folded for a while while i took down small pots. then got JJ in vs. a9s and held for 13 mil vs the 6 mil and 5 mil stacks. The short stackers flipped JJ vs AK and elheroe flipped good so we were heads up pretty near even. From there we made the deal by precentage, 142k for me 135k for him and then we played heads up for the 8 k in which he flopped top two and I also flopped top pair. It was such a blast playing with all my friends railing and rooting for me. Thanks for all the support again. Until next time, peacceee.
