Played in the $2k guarantee tonight on Ignition and took it down. $5 entry about $460 I think for 1st place. I believe I won every all-in during the tournament too. 3 handed I got AQs in vs AKo pre. Flopped a Q and rivered a flush for overkill. HU I won with TT all-in pre. I'm more of a cash game player so this was really fun to go deep and take one down.
Friday night I saw they had the 2k guaranteed $5 buyin tournament going again. I'm sure they have it every night but I play cash games like I said in my OP so I don't look for it. Anyways they still had late registration open until level 14 and they were on level 13. Big blind was 800 with antes and starting stack of 10k. I thought why not, it's $5 I can work with 12.5bb's. Fast forward about 5 hours and I took down 2nd place!
Went into the final table as the short stack with 200k and I finally found my spot down to 158k'ish. Folds to me in MP with 66 and I have 13bbs. In they go. BTN shoves and then the SB jams as well, yuck! Time to get lucky. They check down on a 2352T board and flip over AQ and AK, I triple up to 500k and off I went. I'm on a little MTT heater fellas. The field was bigger this time with about 560 entries. 2nd netted me a bit over $380. So that's back to back entries with a 1st and 2nd place for roughly $840 in profit!
Fun stuff. Been mixing in some cheap MTT's maybe once every week or so. Nice break from grinding 6max cash games. Sure is a nice boost to the bankroll though.
