Daytona Beach Kennel Club Sign
It’s my final day and I am at Daytona Beach Kennel Club again, to play the $225 tourney. An additional $10 for dealer addon and $5 to the royal flush jackpot. The poker room is also having their annual freeroll event, winner gets to chose from 6 envelopes. 3 contain “Cars” (Mustang, Charger and Camero) and the other 3 contain cash $5k, $7.5k and $10k. Nice freeroll jackpots! While my tourney is playing, the table next to ours is the final table for the freeroll event, and the gentleman who wins picks an envelope that wins him a brand new Mustang!
My tourney is a deepstack event, with 11,500 starting chips. 2 tables fill up and cards roll. The first hand I play is 66, and I flop a set and win a decent pot. I hit runner runner nut flush with As9s and win another pot. I am at 14,400 in chips now. I raise to 800 with QQ and get one caller. Flop comes Q44 and I am very excited. I check, he checks… so far the slowplay is on. Turn is another 4 and he moves allin. I call and he shows AQ … ugly turn for him as I take him out. 22,400 in chips now. We are now down to 12 people and the tourney pays top 3 spots.
I survive to the final table with 17,800 in chips. My chips get whittled down to 13,300 and there are 8 people left now. I get QQ again and raise big pre-flop from mid position and get 2 callers. Flop comes 953 and the first player bets 5,000. I act a little unsure and move allin for about 9,000 hoping to get a caller, but the player to act after me (big stack bully) moves allin on top of me. The first player reluctantly folds, I show my QQ and Mr. BigStack shows 99 for a flopped set…. Arg! I go out in 8th. I don’t see how I could avoid this hand, so… oh well.
