Back on track

So finally after some emails i got my $1,700 travel money through from ladbrokes. Even though im unable to access the cashier here in china i can still use the money to play with on the tables.

So early on today i played some $1/$2 and went up and down a few $100 buy-in's at a time. I joined a few tourneys, lost a couple of $20 and $29 tourneys, bubbling in the $29 sattelite to the $4k gaurenteed.

I was chip leader throughout the sattellite to the $50,000 freeroll, where the top7 went through. Without any trouble i got through, knocking a bunch of people out :)

At the same time i was playing in a $1k gaurenteed tourney with a $15 buyin. The blinds were pretty slow and it seemed to last forever. Going to the final table i was 1st in chips by a small ammount, i knocked a medium stack out to go a long way ahead in chips. Then i lost a huge pot with AQ vs KT where the flop came JKQ. Pretty stupid but i was then down to a medium stack.

I got through stealing the occasional pot and doubled up a couple of times with premium hands to become a chip leader and down to the last 3. I had more chips than both of the other 2 combined and then lost an all-in when his TT held up to my AK. Now i was shortstacked but i played tight and getting heads up i was slightly ahead in chips.

Played heads up for about 15mins and i was in complete control, picked up AA and was raised into. I min raised and he pushed with 44. AA held up and i took 1st place for $279. Also pleased about picking up the points as i want to try and finish in the top 250 to get into the cruise freeroll again as it is great value!
