WSOP!!

Ever fancied playing in the WSOP main event? I have but I am a bit short of the $10000 buy in! Whilst playing on Absolute Poker I noticed they are running Sit N Go tournaments that start at 10c. The idea being that you win places to the next step with the winner of step 10 advancing the Main Event.

I am not really a tournament player so some SNG practice can't be bad for my game either. I find a Step 1 table that soon fills up but after about half an hour end up in 5th place, missing out both Step 2 seats and a free retry at Step 1. I decide to have another go and soon find myself with 3 other players and a guarantee of at least a free go at another Step 1 tourney. It is of course a first or second place and a Step 2 seat that I am after. I knock out the 4th place player with a checked flop which he stabs at and I quickly call. Now there are 3 players left and a tense battle begins for the 2 seats.



After about 20 minutes the slightly bigger stack wins an all in against the other remaining player and knocks him out leaving me about 2:1 down and heads up! In doesn't matter as the tourney ends there as both 1st and 2nd place prizes are the same. Step 2 is now here and the WSOP is 1 step nearer.
