Tourney The 2016 Norwegian Championship thread (3 Viewers)

[thorwilliam]

The second annual Norwegian championship on Norwegian soil starts this week and @Frode789 and myself is playing. This is a thread where we can share our photos, chipcounts, results or any other stuff related to this years championship.

This year there are a few more tourneys to choose from, 5 compared to 3 last years (excluding sattelites, freerolls etc.) unfortunately it is only allowed to play 3 of these events, but I will play as many as possible and hopefully run deep in one of the events. No cash-games allowed, but I there will be a lot of action in Oslo's cardrooms I'm sure. I will play event 2B, 4 and 7B plus event 1 that is basically a sattelite/eastern Norway's regional championship. Here is this years schedule:

 

[Frode789]

Gonna be fun. I'm playing event #1 on Thursday and #4 (1A) on Friday.

@thorwilliam Since you are playing the 6 max, are you playing main event on Sunday?

 

[Marius L]

Good luck guys. I cant make it this year unfortunately. A bit far to travel from Bergen, and can't get away from work. Was really fun last year, so hopefully it will be even better this year! Look forward to seeing updates here, and hopefully you both get deep runs

And since we are in the blinds structure section of the forum, it would be natural to post the structures for this tournament as well These are the two I will be attending.

Awesome @thorwilliam and @Frode789 !!! Sounds like a blast guys... Take them donw!!!

Lot's of run-good to both of you... (y) :thumbsup:

* Blind schedule looks fantastic! I wish the guys at WSOP would follow the same pattern... 200/300Bigs SSs and a smooth progression, can't beat that imo...

Yeah, the structure in the main event is very good.

 

[thorwilliam]

Lol, no run good. Busted with set over set on the flop in a 3-bet pot right before second break. Well luckily only a sattelite.

 

[Frode789]

Also busted right before the break.. Sat with AA flop came 10 4 K (rainbow) , I jam and he call. Turn 2 River J. His hand was of course AQ.. Gutshot :/

Oh well. Time to relax and prepare for the main tomorrow

 

[Marius L]

Playing the 6-max day 1 today.

[thorwilliam]

Made it to day 2, but with a below average stack (90k vs 130k). Less than 120 remaining.

 

[BGinGA]

go go go !!

 

[Marius L]

Gl on day two!

 

[thorwilliam]

Out in about 100th. Was crippled after an all in vs a shorter stack where he hits quads with his 33 vs my AKs. Lost another flip and out about 20 from the money.

Good run, though. Congrats!

My table, early in the turney:

 

[thorwilliam]

Busted at end of level 12. Pretty card dead today, only big pair i had during almost 12 hours (including breaks) was pocket jacks once.. Huge field, over 1000 entries on day 1c alone. Last chance to cash this year will be on tuesday at the 8-game event.

 

[Frode789]

Busted at level 13, 20 minutes before Day 1 was over. I was at a rough table with several pros almost from the start, for example the runner-up from NM from last year.. She's super hot, but also stealing my chips so I did not like that.. Final hand of the day was QQ, which did not hold vs A10o.

Had a shorter than average, but okay stack just 2 levels earlier. Then I'm not sure what went wrong.. Or well, I'm a noob so there's that.

 

[BGinGA]

Nice run, both of you. But where are the pics of the hot pro? Least she could do for stealing your chips was provide some courage-esque perv shots.

Good luck Tuesday!
