I was trying to get over the disappointment of not finishing higher in the first Venetian tournament by winning another tournament. The daily deepstack at the Rio is a decent structure at a great location and today was the opening day of it so I thought Id try my hand in it. We started with 15000 in chips and there were 114 players with 18 spots paying and a first prize of just under 6k.
Level 1: 25-50. When playing 25-50 with 15k starting stacks, nothing too noteworthy happens. I played 1 hand were I put in more than 500 chips. I limped the button behind several limpers with JTo and the flop came J95 2 clubs. One of the limpers bet out 150, I made it 400, and he called. The turn came an offsuit 6, he lead out for 150 again and I just called. The river came Qc and he lead for 500 and I folded. I was at 13775 and we went to the next level.
Level 2: 50-100. I made it 250 from EP with 66, a lady called on the button, and the guy in the BB made it 800. We both called and the flop came 986. The BB checked, I bet 2500, and they both folded (the BB showing AQ). A guy UTG made it 325 and I 3-bet from MP to 1050 with 75dd. A guy flat called in the cutoff, the SB flat called, and the raiser called as well. The flop came A32 and I folded to a 2000 bet. I was down to 13525 and we went to level 3.
Level 3: 100-200. I made it 475 UTG with 85hh and both the blinds called. The flop came 632 2 spades and the blinds checked and I bet 550, the SB folded, and the BB made it 1100. I called and the turn came the 7s, giving me and open ender but putting 3 spades on board. He checked, I bet 2225, and he called. The river came a 4s, completing my straight but putting a 4-flush on board. He checked and I checked behind and he showed 99 no spade, giving me the pot. I limped behind several limpers with K8hh and the flop came KJ8. They all checked to me and I bet 525 and everyone folded. I was up to 18950 and we went to the next level.
Level 4: 150-300 25. I made it 650 in EP with KQo and a lady moved all in from MP for 3600 and I folded. A UTG raiser made it 1000, I made it 2600 from UTG +2 with TT, and he moved all in for 4300. I called and he showed A9hh but I was drawing dead after an AxQh5h flop (more or less). I made it 650 UTG +1 with 64o and both the blinds called. The flop came AT7 and we checked around. The turn came a T, they checked to me, I bet 800, and the BB called. The river came a Q and we both checked and he showed 87 for the winner. I was back down to 13225 and we went to the first break.
Level 5: 200-400 50. I was moved to a new table immediately following the break. 2nd hand at the table, a guy with a ton of chips opened to 1025 in MP and I 3-bet to 2500 from the cutoff with ATss. He pushed all in and I folded. I was down to 9000 or so a little later and it folded to me in the SB. I found A7o and made it 1025 and the BB moved all in for 7000 or so. I decided to call and he showed me A3o and the board ran out Q62K5 and I won. Next hand, a MP raiser made it 950 and I was on the button with A3o and called. The BB called as well and we saw an 884 flop. They checked to me and I fired 1525 and the BB called. The turn came a J and he checked, I bet 3100, he moved all in, and I folded. I suck. The next hand after this, a UTG player made it 1500, the guy who had alot of chips and had been raising alot made it 6000, and I found TT in the cutoff and moved in for 10500 or so. UTG folded but the raiser called quickly showing KK and the board blanked out, giving me an early day.
Bad tournament, didnt play very well and I paid for it. Oh well, Ill have to play better next time.
