I went into the level with about 170,000. I lost a big hand early on when I called a raise with the [7h8h]. The flop came down Q96 and it went check check. The turn was a blank and he checked to me. I bet out 13,000 with my open ended straight draw and he raised me to 33,000. I really felt like he had nothing so I decided I would do a stop and go on the river. The river was a King and I bet out 50,000. He went into the tank for a few minutes before calling and showing KJ. So my read was right, but he ended up hitting.
Shortly after that hand, I built up my stack when I knocked out BoDogAri. I flopped a set of sixes and he never hit his flush draw.
I’m sitting with 135,000 which is above average. This tournament has been a roller coaster so far and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon.
