Anthony Martino
Royal Flush
Played the $340 buyin tourney at Silks Poker Room in Tampa today
Had 51 players in our 1pm Day 1A flight, finished at level 14 (7 hours) with 10 advancing to Day 2 Sunday
Another flight started at 6pm today and two more tmrw
Expecting 40-50 will compete Sunday for 25-30 paid spots. First should be 15-18k I'm guessing
Made a straight flush against the AK flush today and doubled up PLUS won a $150 ticket for Monday nights 7.5k guaranteed
Had a miserable player at my table blinds 600/1200 with a 200 ante and folds to cutoff who limps, miserable on the button makes it 4k
Folds to me in the SB with a stack of around 24k and I shove KQ off
He insta-calls for half his stack with A8 off????
Flop is KQJ and I hold up and he starts whining about what a luckbox I am
Which is why it was so gratifying later when he was short stacked UTG and shoved 21k and I called with my 100k stack and AT
He flips over AJ bu I spike a T on the flop AND turn and he starts muttering to himself about how the room is a total joke and he can't win
Anyway, enjoy some chip porn, bagged 116,700 going to day 2, avg is 102k and blinds will be 1500/3k with a 500 ante and 40 minute levels
