Sunday 26th Results - Same Old Sunday

Hi guys,

Just wanted to get the results from sunday out quick post stream tonight, results for tonight will be up tomorrow in the day.

Sunday nights grind was like every other sunday has been on the challenge, building some nice stacks early and getting no luck as we approach the money.

Lets get straight to the results - 

Not the biggest loss on the day, slightly helped with the profit in the £5.50 Bounty Hunter, came close in the satellites but couldn't quite get into any £22s or £33s for a big sweat. 

Just got done with a night playing DTD events which was super fun and live on Twitch. Will be back tomorrow with updates on that.

Have a great night and I'll see you tomorrow!

Sunday 26th - Quick Update

Evening guys,

Wanted to write a short update this evening, I haven't played since the win on wednesday just down to working every day up to now.

Good news is, tonight we are back on the grind with a sunday session. Hoping to continue the good run and get back over £500. 

Main Event - 

£11 Mini Major

FreezeOut

£2000 Guaranteed

Should be a fun one even though our sunday record right now is abysmal. Gotta stay positive though, it's the best opportunity to make a big score in the week, and I'm ready to crush it.

For those of you waiting for the next Twitch stream I will be back over the next couple days with some more live gambling! 

Hope everyone has a great sunday and good luck to all that are playing!

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!

Tuesday 21st Results - Bounty Hunter Final Table

Whats up guys, 

We are back once again with some more results from the £500 challenge. The last update left us on £391 after a small losing session on monday night.

As far as last night goes, in terms of results it was the same old story, just call me the nearly man from now on. 
Had a final table as the title says, the tournament in question was the one I bubbled monday night. It is the £5.50 Rebuy Bounty Hunter, to be honest it was nice to avenge the brutal bubble hand from the night before with a nice cash. 

Unfortunately, as the picture shows we couldn't make it past 6th which is becoming a pretty common finishing position in this challenge. 
We did come into the final table as the short stack to be fair, eventually finding a spot to shuv with AKo running into JJ and KK respectively to put us out of the tournament with a £35 cash.

Here are the full session results - 

Well, once again it's another losing day, but only a small one. I will take that when we are running as bad as we are right now in the bigger spots. Happy with my overall play in the most part, especially deeper in the tournaments.

Best thing to do in my opinion with situations like this is to carry on and get more volume in, it will eventually turn around and as long as the losses are small like this one it's fine.

I have cut out the £11s and may cut out the £7.7/£7.2 if the bankroll falls below £350, but for now they will remain.

I will be back live once again tonight and this time I will be live on Twitch with a stream. 

Just wanted to add in now here, that I have started uploading YouTube videos with highlights from the streams, you can check the first one out below and make sure you are subscribed to the channel for more updates going forward.

Thanks for all the support to date, we will be continuing with this challenge until the end, appreciate all the comments on the forum.

Good luck at the tables tonight and I'll be back tomorrow with more results!

Monday 20th Results - So Close Yet So Far

Evening Guys,

Last night I played a full session of Sky tournaments in the £500 Challenge and streamed it all live on Twitch.

It was an up and down night at the tables that started well, we were in good position in 3 tournaments simultaneously (£5.50 Rebuy BH, £5.50 BH, £7.70 BH) Picking up stacks and bounties in each of them early to put us in a really good position heading into the later part of the session.

But, unfortunately things didn't run out well for us, failing to cash in all three of the key tournament runs on the night.
The sickest spot of the 3 was no doubt in the £5.50 Rebuy BH, which we ended up bubbling, although we did make money due to picking up bounties.

At this point everyone was super short, the chip leader had 20BB's and the average was around 10. I was in the BB with A2o and facing a limper from EP, I decided to check my option. The flop rolled out A82 rainbow. 
I called a bet from the original limper hoping to induce some bluffs on later streets.
I checked turn (T) and he did indeed shuv, he then flipped over A8 for a bigger two pair and with the river bringing a blank, sick spot given the situation but other than just jamming pre I think I played it fine.

Lets get to the full results - 

So, a small loss on the day overall but we were in position to go deep in a lot of events, ending up being a night of what could've been.

I will personally be back on Twitch most likely tomorrow evening, but will be grinding off stream this evening. The reason for not streaming is, as some of you know that watched yesterday, I'm not feeling great and I just need some time to rest and recover the voice to go again tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great night and I will hopefully see some of you at the tables once again!

Monday 20th November - Mini Marksman and Streaming LIVE

What's up everyone,

We are back once again with the £500 bankroll challenge on Sky Poker. 
The Mini UKOPS may be over, but we have some work to do after a tough series and pull this bankroll back over £500.

Tonight's tournaments will be the usual schedule headlined by the £5.50 £2k Guaranteed Mini Marksman and for a second time we will be getting involved in the £7.20 Semi to the £33 Marksman Main Event.

We will once again be live on Twitch this evening, so if you want to follow the action you can do so over on twitch.tv/adamyelland123.

Good Luck to everyone on the grind tonight and I will hopefully see some of you on Twitch later this evening!

Saturday 18th Results - Mini UKOPS Day 3

Evening guys,

Last night was the longest Twitch Stream I have done for a while, it consisted of 12 tournaments, 3 Mini UKOPS events, some super big coolers and beats and some fun action.

Unfortunately although the session was long, we ran like a donkey with 3 legs. Couldn't win a flip when it counted and just some super horrible run outs with premium hands throughout.

Lets get right to the pain......I mean results - 

If you want to catch a replay of the Twitch stream you find it here

Even though the session was a poor one in terms of results, I still had good fun streaming the action on Twitch and will definitely be making it more of a regular thing in future with this challenge.

It does however mean we are right back under £400 once again, only just, but under nevertheless. But, as you all know it only takes that one big score to propel us right back up to, or over £500.

Last night was the last of the Mini UKOPS for us, had a lot of fun over the series and had a couple cashes, the biggest being the final table bubble in Event 04.

Good luck to anyone in the Main or any of the last few events in the final day of Mini UKOPS XX.

We will be back monday evening with some more great tournament action LIVE on Twitch TV. So, until then. Good luck at the tables!
