Day Two of 40K

May 30, 2009 by Brian Townsend

I woke up this morning after sleeping for only 3 or 4 hours and all I wanted to do was play poker. I fired up stars and fulltilt and put in about a two hour session winning 20k. This month has really picked up and I have recovered nicely from my little downswing mid month. I was about even last week but now I am up 100k in cash games and 75k in tourneys/crossbooking, plus whatever else I win tomorrow if I can go deeper.

Here I flop the nut flush draw in a three bet pot and suckout.

Now this is a draw, how do I miss, so sick.

Aces in a big pot.

After playing some poker, I hit the gym for an hour and went to the tourney. I ended the day at about the chips I started with. I won a few big pots early with AK on a A87 flop in a four bet pot against Mark Seif. I think won a flip against Whitelime with TT vs his AKs. I was up to about 1.5 million in chips when I went completely card dead. I didn’t pick up a hand for about 3 levels. Every time I raised I got reraised or my c-bets were check raised allin when I held nothing. Not much you can do and the blinds were so big the swings are huge. So I was widdled down to 700k where I ended the day. I am looking forward to tomorrow when we play down from 24 players to the final 9.
