Went to the opening of Europes biggest poker club last night
It really is a superb place
anyway the opening was a 108 player £100 buy in invite only tournament and for some reason I was invited
ended up playing for over 9 hours and got down to the last 6 ( was utterly hammered by this time )
then with 3000/6000 blinds and 800 antes I get AJ on BB ( 5 players with about 50k chips each and one huge stack ), a couple of limpers in front of me so raised to 20k, one drops out and then the other comes over the top all in , leaving me with 30k to call but about 75k in the pot so I had to call , he says "you caught me" and turns over J5
flop comes 4,6,7 and turn a 8
and out I go
got paid £500 (I must have been the grumpiest person ever to be given £500)
since found out that 50 mins later the club had to close at 6am ( law ) and the money was split on a chip count with the last 5 getting between £1500 and £2100
not sure whether to be pleased or gutted
