EPT Qualifier

Copenhagen, Denmark. On January 19th, the European Poker Tour will be making a stop there. Many players qualified for the tournament via Pokerstars. I am not one of them.

Why am I not going? Don't ask me, ask the Pokerstars virtual dealer who decided to put an 8 on the turn. A two-outer. A rub-it-in-your-face you're-not-going-to-Denmark 8 of diamonds.

I could never recover from this hand. I played for 4 hours and 54 minutes, came in 23rd place (out of 214) and won a measly $260. Considering that the tournament cost $380 to enter, $260 equals up to a $120 loss. I could already taste Denmark in my mouth, and then this.

Luckily I was able to make $195.44 at CelebPoker, so I'm going to bed a $75.44 winner for the day. One of these days I am going to qualify for an EPT event. It's going to be ever so sweet.
