Chinook Winds $600 No Limit Hold’em Main Event (Stack Updates)
October 27, 2018I wasn’t going to blog at all because I’m still sick, but I’ll at least post stack updates here. I might post a hand here and there but I won’t be posting any in depth analysis.
Starting stacks are 40k with blinds currently at 50/100. Massive amounts of play in this one. Plus there is a $200 add on for 30k more chips if you make it to level 7.
I’ve already seen a 6x and a 12x (from the cutoff!) open at my table, which is just absurd.
1:09 PM: A7ss > AA on T7476 in a 42k pot.
He min-raised my open pre and put minimal pressure on me before I turned the best hand.
2:09 PM: 64k coming back to 150/300/50.
2:34 PM: Notables in the field: Tormund, Flexxx, Solomon Grundy, Frankenstein, three Muckleshoot dealers, Kitsap local, Oregon superstar Max Young…
Twinkie BUSTED
3:46 PM: 54k after L4.
Tormund 52k
Frankenstein 110k
5:51 PM: 67.6k heading to dinner break. Also made it to the add on period so I paid $200 for another 30k in chips.
Dark Knight 97.6k
Frankenstein 200k
Tormund 60k
7:13 PM: Huge pot. I get a free play with KT and get the TT5 flop vs QT. We end up putting in like 50k each on the turn. I didn’t love it because that is heaps and the dude was playing tight and scared but I couldn’t discount the fact that he might be overplaying worse tens.
I was in the big blind and I can have a bunch of weak tens in my range, so I jammed and prayed he had something slightly worse.
He did. The 2 bricked the river and I now have over 160k.

Board says 224 left, but it said that a long time ago so I’m sure that’s not accurate.
11:57 PM: Right as TD pauses the clock to announce it’s bagging time, I open 2.5x with 22 bigs on button holding 77 and I’m never folding pre. The big 3-bets to 7 bigs and I jam. She mini-tanks and calls it off with ATss and binks a ten on the river.
A little bittersweet. I basically busted on the last hand of the day but it could be worse. I could come back tomorrow and play for several hours and still not cash… now I can at least wake up and immediately head back to Tacoma.
