What a week it’s turned out to be! Arsenal beat Real at fortress Bernabeu, and two days later, I’ve won my 1st live poker tournament!
By the time I got to Gutshot there was already a freezeout (no rebuy) tourney in progress, so not many players would be entering the happy hour Omaha game. It started with only 18 people; usually 30 or more would play. After max rebuying to £15 I had 1700 chips, so up a measly 200. In one round a guy had a flush draw, but drew a blank and I managed to beat him with a pair of Jacks, winning 700 in the process.
After an hour of play I was on the final table of 10. Blinds were 175/350 and I had 2200 chips. One by one, players went out. The biggest round was when I took out 2 players with a pair of aces, and I became chip leader with 7000. Eventually I went heads up, leading my opponent by 20:1, a massive chip lead. He would have to double up 3 or 4 times just to be level with me. In the end, I beat him with a higher 2 pair.
I won 105 pounds, woohoo! I don’t know why I fare so much better at Omaha than Holdem. Omaha record: played 3, reached final table everytime. 1st, joint 1st and 6th. Holdem on the other hand: played 4, never reached final table. Highest finish was 11th.
