The past two days have been really good to me, winning approximately $15k in the matter of 48 hrs. I finally passed the threshold that my bankroll had a tough time exceeding this past week and a half, so kudos to that. Today I ran deep in a few tournies including the $30k KO which is one tourney I've been doing really well in on a daily basis. I also won some tourney credit by winning a satty for FTOPS #12. Since I already have a seat I decided to use the T$ (tournament credit) to buy-in into FTOPS # 19, 20, and 24. They don't run satellites for these tournaments on a daily basis so using my T$ is just as good as winning satty's for each individual event. That leaves me with only two more FTOPS events to win my seat into, which is FTOPS #9 (the heads-up tournament) and FTOPS #22 (the biggest buy-in event for $5k a seat). These two will probably be my most challenging seats to win since the satellites for FTOPS #9 only payout to first place out of 64 players and FTOPS #22 being the most expensive event, satellite buy-ins are anywhere from $300-$500 and are filled with top-tier players. It will be challenging but I'll get it done sooner than later.
The story of the night was the $40k guarantee that I played very well in and took down 2nd for $8400. This tournament lasted about eight hours with two hours being at the final table, which is unusual for a tournament with this structure. Pretty much the whole table was comprised of inexperienced tournament players that really haven't played a lot of final tables, thus, making me the overwhelming favorite. The final table was long and drawn out due to the newbie's folding a lot of hands trying to bump up in the money. This made it easy for me to steal blinds and build a decent chipstack. I got really lucky in a lot of spots and also got chopped down numerous times but I stuck with my game plan and built my chips up again. Unfortunately, the first hand heads-up didn't work out as I planned and got me knocked out in 2nd place, but not bad for a days work. This win really boosted me up to my comfort zone and now I can only prepare myself for a deep run in FTOPS. Good day!
