Woo-hoo! I wasn't so lucky on the slot machines, but...when I went upstairs to the poker room, the $60 buy-in w/$50 re-buys and add-ons was in full swing. There was about 7 or 8 tables left of the regulars. I had put my name up on the 3/6 board and walked over to watch the tourney play out while I waited. I noticed at the tourney podium there was a sign that read "2nd Chance Tournament, $40 buy-in No Re-buys 8:15pm". I look down at my watch: 8:05. Woo-Hoo! Nothing better than Donkament action on a Monday night.
So it ended up being a 2 table sng, 20 players total. The table I was sitting at was very soft. But it was enjoyable. Got to play a lot of poker and everyone was very friendly. I picked up some nice hands and chipped up a little in the early rounds. When the blinds hit 300/600, I had about 7500 chips (we started with 4000). The smaller stacks were beginning to push, and I lost about 1/2 of my stack when my QQ ran into KK. I pretty much went VERY card dead. Near the end of the 400/800 level, I ended up being in the BB super short stacked. I think I had about 2000 behind, and had already decided that I would shove blind no matter what. So UTG+1 raises it enough to put me all in. MP insta-calls and then it folds around to me. I shove the remainder of my chips in. The flop comes 8 9 2. UTG+1 bets out like 5 or 6 pinks, and MP moves all in. UTG+1 calls and tables JJ. MP proudly tables his AA. When I saw those hands, I was like DOH! So the dealer smiles at me and says flip one over. I ask everyone which one they want to see first. It ends up being an 8. So I have one card up and the other still face down. So I calling out for another 8.
Turn: K
Everyone looks at me. Dealer says, turn of the other card. I tell her to deal the river first.
River: Q
Everyone looks back at me. I slow roll my 2nd card over.
KIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
Woo Hoo! Ship it baby!!! My newly tripled up stack was dangerous. Very next hand, I call from the SB with 97 off with 2 limpers in the pot and BB calling. Flop comes 5 5 7. I insta-shove and take down a nice sized pot. A few hands later, there were a couple of bust outs and only 10 were
left. As we were coloring up the black chips, Lisa comes in and tells me she hit 777 on a slot and won $200. Woo-hoo! I told her I cracked AA with K8 on a blind shove, and she basically didn't have a clue what I was talking about. LOL Anyhow, they paid out to 6 spots and I ended up going out 5th when my 82 off ran into A8. We both paired the 8 on the flop and I couldn't hit a
deuce to save my life. My payout was $67. A nice little free-roll Donkament for the evening. I took my $21 in winnings (I gave $6 for dealer tip) and played video blackjack. I went up to $35 playing blackjack and decided to call it a night. Got home, jumped on AP, and spanked out a quick $2 sng for 1st. A nice little night cap to help me sleep.
