This is my best result in any freeroll. After long time i didn't play on
Full Tilt i tried the old Italian only freeroll, and...
BOOM!!! First place.
I started the final table (2500/5000 Ante 600) with 161k, the same amount of another player, 3rd was another guy with 142k, 4th place had 73k, then 56k, 33k and super short stack after that.
The final:
I played super tight, folding the first hands until i went down to 149k;
Then i had pocket 9's on the button, 7 players still on, 3000/6000 ante 750, One of the shortstacks went all-in for 28k from UTG (he was trying to steal blinds, he went from 4k to 28k in the past 2 hands, one won with pair of 5's). I did a reraise to scare the blinds and faced Tc 9c !!! The board was amazing:
: a split pot!
Time for a long fold sequence, until i went to 138k, 5 at the table and chip leader at 253k, blinds 4000/8000 ante 1000: KJ and raise 24k, everyone folds, back to 154k.
Next hand i'm BB: this is the action: fold, limp, fold, fold. Limper is the chipleader, i have 8c Kd, but i think the chipleader is not strong, so i reraise to 24k, and he calls. Flop
, i check, he checks. Turn
i bet 16k, he calls. River
, scary... I bet 8k and he raise allin. I dont think he got the flush, and after a while i decide to call. He had
, i was lucky he didnt hit a straight. I know i had to fold this hand, but poker is about feelings too and i had the right feeling.
I become chipleader with 316k, the guy dropped to 141k still 2nd place. Blinds went to 5000/10000 and i went to 239k. I was UTG and got pocket 9's again. Raise 33k, both the blinds went in (they had 157k and 122k, being 2nd and 3rd in chip count): Flop
. SB bet 30k, BB folds, i went All in and he did a call with
. Turn and River rags, and I jumped to 432k. Few hands and short stack was out, we were now last 3, this was the chip count:
Seat 2: umaro66 (444,708)
Seat 7: xxxxxxxx (111,700)
Seat 9: xxxxxxxx (81,092)
After few blindstealing i was BB while i faced a 62k call with
. Since SB was raising too frequently i put him on a medium hnd and decided to risk the bet: He had
and the flop didn't help him, so... player out and go for the final heads-up, 548k Vs. 89k, i had a good avdantage.
Only 5 hands played, first i try to steal BB and he reraise allin, mucks. Then i checked his limp with
, Flop
and he did a double up with A 8. A couple of blindstealing and the final hand was:
Me: 414,100
Other: 223,400
My hand:
, i raise 24k, he shoots all in for 221,900 and i call. He shows
. The board give me a flush
and my first victory (and $15.00, better than nothing...)
