Bonomo flew over to play it :-)
The main event (£125) is the largest field tournament outside of Vegas, 7.5k entrants.
The whole thing is branded as a Microstakes WSOP, hence the Super High Roller title of the most expensive event!
Stephen - I think people are saying snap call to mean - "it's a call", I don't think anyone can seriously expect you to make an instant decision either way.
I also don't mind if you decide it is a fold as your read takes away combinations of bluffs, it's just clear from your post that you were thinking unhelpful things that had nothing to do with the hand.
I think this hand is a net positive for you. It's an absolutely huge learning point that will benefit you in the future; if you're going to travel to play these things, either be comfortable firing the second bullet or be comfortable getting knocked out after 5 minutes. Your mental state is really important, not enough players think about this.
As an example, 8 days earlier on the Friday night (Day 1b of the £225 25/50) I arrived at 7pm and was already Alternate #25. That would have got me in at the start of Level 5, which is still 83bbs. But the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I was that I was missing the deeper stacked levels (where people gamble far too much) and the more annoyed I was that I didn't buy-in ahead of time online. I would have definitely put myself into spots like you were where I was mentally thinking "I've waited 2.5 hours to sit down I don't want to bust straight away."
So I just unregged and played cash for a while and then left. Annoying because I was looking forward to the tournament and am +EV, (and I couldn't play Day 1C) but if my head isn't going to be right I'm not the kind of guy that enjoys lighting £225 on fire.
