On Monday, Tony G blogged about an insane cash game at Kings Club in Prague, Czech Republic. According to himself, he lost about €500,000 in a €2k/€4k cash game the first day. The same day as that cash game took place he also played a €10,000 High Roller (rebuy) event, but he decided to skip Day 2 and let his average stack get blinded off.

Writing on his blog, Tony admitted that despite playing like a "donkey", he managed to finish his 72 hour session in profit by more than €300,000. Having dropped €500,000 to Leon during the first half of their battle, Tony's decision to up the blinds to €5k/€10k proved a wise one

Wow, what another great day to remember for Tony G.. And unfortunately it looks like this story hasn’t much in common with lots of others we read here. But I can see one thing in common: although he played a big hand for a big pot, it turned out to be not as good as it could represent because he was already losing a lot money, and that huge pot only passed his bankroll to the positive side on a couple of bucks (€300k may be a lot of money, but not that much when we know there were €1.85M on the pot)! Why does it always have to be that way?
