Some interesting hands from last night in the brawl then! Like I said, when I posted that update on the day I was 10bbs deep with I think around 160 players left and more than ready to bust and get some rest. Turns out the poker gods had other things in mind!

This was the turning point and perhaps a sign for things to come.... I wasn't sure whether to be happy that I still had a long shot or sad that I'd have to wait longer to make my dinner
3 hours later, a few sngs on the side and a I've made it to the ft as the chipleader with a very healthy stack and a solid bounty on my head. The next hour Im super in the zone, taking down pots, picking my spots, feeling confident and we make it to final 4 players with stacks all relatively similar. Ive increased my bounty by 2 players and around 300 bucks and we have 2 solid russian regs and one massive fish left in (sorry if you're reading this). With around 1.3k locked up and around 5k for first there was a lot to play for and icm pressure was fairly heavy given stacks depths.
After 4 solid hours of playing well, running good, just generally enjoying the shot this hand happened......

Safe to say I was fairly annoyed with the outcome. Obviously a horrendous jam, a disasterous runout and majroly costly at such a late stage in the game. Made all the worse by the fact the fish with K6 had 600 bucks on his head.
At this point I posted in my skype group ''where is the justice''.
Justice came
Within ten minutes these hands had occured....

Crazy rollercoaster! Within ten minutes I'd gone from 10bbs and very much expecting a 3rd or 4th place finish to having a very solid stack with 3 remaining (all be it the 2 solid regs).
A few hands later and we're down to 2 and increased our own bounty to 1.2k in a very smooth fashion...

Considering the pretty hefty difference between first and second place and the fairly low edge we figured we'd have against eachother HU we decided to discuss a chop and I managed to take down a little over 4.5k from the deal.
Not a bad day all things considered! Took today off to recover, eat, yoga, get some study in and meeting a friend tomorow for the day before I try and grind out an extra 120 or so mtts on the weekend and hopefully some more money!
