2/302 in $215 HU Tournament + 7/28500 in the Sunday 200k = $12.5k for me - $4k to stakes....swiiiiish!!

Hi all, title says it all! Managed to sh1p two relatively huge scores in one night, taking home 2nd in the $215 heads up to win 50% of just under $8k, and then a couple of hours later 7/28500 to bring home the comical amount of $4447. All in all, an incredibly sick night!

Can't be arsed with hands etc, but basically I was hitting a lot of cards in the HU, but managing to get paid off against poor hands quite a lot. I ran dead in the last match, and couldn't hit my up and down or one overcard to get back into contention unfortunately. In the Sunday 200k, I rivered a straight with 4 tables left to get back in it, before working up to a dominant stack at the final table. I was big chip lead with 7 left, but JJ < AK and then shoving A3 vs the table aggressor who snapped with AK meant it was a case of what could have been, though I'm not worrying about that!!

Before these two tournies, I had been plugging away up to around $7.7k, so this is a very nice bankroll double up, maybe I'll play a 100/200 table and look for a flip to see if I can do the same again. On the other hand, perhaps I'll book a holiday for me and the girlfriend!!

Anyways, essay time for me, a summative is preventing me from going down to see the girlfriend to celebrate....how bad do I run?!

Massive congrats to you mate. Extremely well done! You are crushing the games so hard it's just unreal. To be honest I can't see you getting a job after Uni with scores like this. I hope you keep enjoying the game. How is your bread and butter (the HUSNG's) going?
