TheSwede Poker

After a long break in poker i’m back playing some tournaments. My attempt tonight to qualify to the APPT event in Cebu proved that i’m on the right track.

In a 250 FPP + R i managed to qualify for this event without doing any rebuys or the addon. I’m a happy camper

Played a $1+R Hyper Turbo to Sunday warm-Up and managed to win that. So i de-registered and entered the Million instead. Really looking forward to that.

Played both the Warm-Up and Million this Sunday gone and i got out early in the Warm-Up after being snapped on river by quads and survived roughly half the field in the Million.

Next Sunday the Warm-Up is worth $1M and the Million $2.5M. Guess who’s playing?

Cashed in both the $3.30+R $40.000 Guaranteed and the $11+R $70.000 Guaranteed tonight.

In the 40K the entire tournament was a struggle with very few hands. The 70K started off well and was at almost 9K just before the break without any rebuys when i got QQ in late position. I raised only to get reraised but i had to see the flop so i called, which one other guy did aswell. I missed the flop and checked. The reraiser pushes and the other guy calls, I fold instantly and they show AA and JJ.

That left me with 4500 chips on the break so i do the addon. I got up to 24K when I hit the money.  A loose player raises in early position to 5K with blinds at 1K/2K and i sit on BB with As4s and 19K in chips. I push with the hopes of a 50 50 racw but he turns over AK. Flop with 2 x K and it was over.

Finished 239th in the Sunday Million and cashed $1358.82

Finally qualified for the Sunday Million. Really looking forward to this.

Winning $195.975,50 in the Sunday Million. Not bad for a player who normally plays small stake tournaments and has a negative ROI.

I was very close to getting a spot to the PCA championship finishing 8th in a close race. Chipleader at the break i was trying to play smart but when my KK got busted on the final table leaving me shortstacked it was hard to come back.
