Am I Dreaming?
First night, as planned i make my way down there on foot trusty umbrella in hand fighting the wind and rain.......no taxi.......protect the bankroll.
I arrive and im seated fairly quickly, table looks decent with fairly competent players all round initially. Quickly a seat becomes available to the left of the two main aggro's so i take the switch and blame it on not catching any cards where i was.
Did i catch any cards in my new seat? You could say so....
About an hour later im on the button with 8c9c and call a open from UTG on the button hoping to flop good. Flop comes JcQc3x - BINGO. Were heads up and he leads for half, i min raise (mistake?) and he calls. Turn comes...10c - MEGA BINGO. He leads again for around half, i call. River is the 10s pairing the board. He counts chips and bets about £30 less than i have remaining so i obv shipp and he immediately says "straight flush".
That moment, that half second was incredible. Seeing his AKc turned over was magical for me, reason being of the BBJ. I get £5500, i could say more but.....
Its still surreal. So many times i have joked with dealers that i would hit the jackpot, there was even an email i received 30 mins before i left the house today reminding me that the jackpot was growing and that "maybe its your time to get lucky". Who knows, maybe its.......
