Schenefeld Deepstack Tourney Day 2

Sutti and I went to to the Trabrennbahn in the afternoon to watch a couple horse races. We each ended up losing a total of €10. When we arrived at the casino, the payouts for the tournament were announced: €12k for the winner sounded nice to me!

The blinds started off at 140/280/40 when we returned to play Day 2. Throughout the first 2 hours, I managed to build my stack from 6k up to 20k after catching a nice little run of cards and finding myself in some good situations. I was only all in once, and I was only all in after the river was dealt. All those cards that I was missing yesterday were made up to me in those 2 hours.

After dinner break I had around 18k and the blinds were raised to 500/1k/100. Before we knew it, there were only 20 players left in the tournament. With the top 10 coming ITM I knew that I still had plenty of work to do. I went card dead for the next hour, but luckily won a desperation all in when I picked off someone's A4 bluff my with A9.

I was still sitting at around 18k when the blinds were raised to 1k/2k/200. There were only 13 players left in the tournament. I looked down and saw KQo UTG+1. The UTG player folded and I shoved my 18k all in in an attempt to take down the blinds + antes. The player directly after me called and showed AJs. The flop came down JT8 and things were looking pretty good for me. I had 13 outs with two cards to come. Unfortunately, none of 13 outs came on the turn and none of my 13 outs came on the river. I was eliminated in 13th place (coincidence?). It kinda hurts to play for so long all for nada, but oh well, I'll have to get over it.

Unfortunately Shadow and MVincennes also were not able to make it ITM :( Hopefully things will go better in Vienna!
