Stars $11-rebuy, 20k guaranteed

[MicroBob]

1045 players in the 20k guaranteed tonight.
Geez that's a lot. I don't play too many of these so maybe that's kinda normal.

I'm guessing we'll push $40k for total prize-pool.

BTW - make this the little 'official' thread if you like.

I'm in, Bonziwells
375 out of 1008

[TheJackal]

287 out of 810 at the break, anyone else still in it?

[MicroBob]

6k which isn't great.
Re-buy and add-on get you to 5k so I only won $1k in first hour.
Only had the 1 re-buy though at the beginning so I'm only in it for $33.

Prize-pool is $37k and 1st place is $9.2k. Not bad for spending only $33.
Need to get to 99th place to win $55.65 and get my money back.

[TheJackal]

Yeah I bought in for $33 as well and started after the break with about 7700.

[remen]

I am in with about 10k after the first break, in for 31$. I am at table 100, seat 5.

Your current position is 58 out of 740

Just doubled up with AJs, raised PF on the button, two callers, flop T93 2 clubs, MP2 bets 900, I call, turn is 6 of clubs, MP2 bets about 1800, I raise to 3600, he calls, river is 5 of spades, he checks, I move in remaining 2500, he calls, he turns up JTo, he was drawing dead on the turn.

I'm in good shape coming out of the break. Guy caught a 2 outter on me on the turn, I caught it right back on the riv and hit a huge pot just before the rebuy period ended. Long way to go though.

KK got busted over in the Empire $50k tourney for me and I'm out.

A minute later I get KK over in the Stars tourney and my PF raise (3 limpers already) gets cold-called by LP and one of the limpers (others folded).

Flop QT2.

EP with big-stack raises, I push all-in....slightly smaller stack in LP calls, EP calls.

EP has AQ, LP has 22 for the set and my KK only takes the side-pot for $4300. So I'm still breathing....but things could be better.
486th out of 584 now.

Had 11k at break, down to about 7k now with 429 remaining.
