Hi all,
Just wanted to let the number 1 forum that I finished 2nd in the opening event of the jor hachem deep stack series here in asutralia for a cool $8,400 AU. After a grueling 11:30 hours it all came to an end when i was unable to come behind from this :
Marco Gutierrez (me): $1,003,000 Steve Topakas: $1,400,000
blinds: 30k/60k
MG button: K 4 posts small bling ST: 4 5 post big blind
MG calls, ST checks
FLOP
3 5 6
ST checks, MG bets 120k ST moves ALL IN MG calls
Turn
j
River
T
and thats how it went down. I will only be playing in one more event the main event so i will keep you all posted. Im sure some sponsorship would of come in handy, got a fair bit of publicity so yeah!!

I think 8,400 if prob about 7,600 in US, the buy in for the event was $180 AU and it was capped at 400 players creating a $60,000 prize pool with top 40 getting money. I also have to say that i think i have played the best poker i have played in a while, my reads were spot on. I made a few great bluffs and excellent reads. Caught a lot of people trying to make moves on me, did a few A high calls which paid out lol . Sponsorship i think would be awesome, i will definetely be playing in a lot of events this year here in Australia and around the world. Hope to see some if not all of you somewhere through out my travels. When my life gets a little more interesting i think i will start a blog so that you all can follow my progress.

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeers
it was well played both of players because when you hit 1over and flushdraw on flop in heads up you can easily go allin bocause it is headsup and the hand range is bigger tahn fullring games so well played
