Wednesday 22nd Results - Big Day For The Challenge!

What's up guys,

Welcome back once again to the £500 Challenge.

Last night we played a session of tournaments on Sky Poker headlined by the Mini Predator £2000 Guarantee. All my action was streamed live on my Twitch channel.

I think it's safe to say that last night's session was a good one, it started well making the top 17 in the £7.20 Satellite, earning a ticket into the £8000 Guaranteed £33 Predator Event.

The tournament itself was a fun one, with a deep structure and a massive prize pool. We had a few pots early on and were hovering around starting stack for the first few levels. 

All in all there were two key pots we played, the first was with AK, we got it in vs a short stack with JJ, and a bigger stack that had A9. We did manage to hold vs the A9 to stay alive, but unfortunately lost to the JJ for a bounty and a big stack at the time.

The bustout hand was super standard, we got 15BB's in with 77 and got called off by 55, a 5 on the flop and river meant our tournament was over and we busted before the money.

I definitely want to continue with these in future, it was fun to have a sweat for a big prize pool and the structure itself was great.

The night itself carried on, and at the time we busted the Predator, we were once again, for the second night in a row at the final table of the £5.50 Rebuy Bounty Hunter! 

We ran super well to get ourselves in the spot we were in, going into the final table as one of the short stacks, we ran our stack up to the chip lead with 4 players left. The action was super fast because of the shallow stacks and surprisingly aggressive play. 

Before we knew it we were heads up for £87 + Bounties. The first pot we had our opponent all in, we shuved A5o over a limp from villain with 10BB's, he snapped us off with JJ and held for the double up. We still had the lead at this point but only a small advantage.

The key, and final hand of the tournament, we opened TT on the button and villain calls, flop 682 rainbow, we bet here for value and our opponent shuvs. Obviously I'm never folding here but was shocked to see him flip over Q5o for the bluff! We held for all the chips and the super important extra value in bounties.

Lets get to the full results - 

You can watch the full replay here for now, it is muted in parts, but we should have a new YouTube video out soon with highlights.

It feels great to get back to winning ways, and in a big way almost getting us back to even on the challenge. We have been here a couple times so far but hopefully this time we can push on and get into some big profit.

I will be back now next week, starting monday with more action on the challenge, hope you guys enjoyed the stream last night. Looking forward to getting back online again and potentially getting some more deep runs.

Until then, Good Luck at the tables and I'll see you later!
