Hi guys,

Yesterday I played one freeroll to the 888Poker Live National Championship Romania with 275 entries and only top 4 win a $33 satellite ticket to the $350 live event. The freeroll was finished after 2 hours (I finished 3rd in chips) and then at 23:30 local time the $33 satellite started. There where only 6 entries with a late reg of 90 min.....When we where down to 3 players after about 1 hour late reg stopped and we had the "final table". The 3rd player got out really early and the head-up play took about 15 min I had a stack of 3 to 1. This is the last hand:

Pacific Poker - 125/250 Ante 30 NL - Holdem - 2 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

Hero (SB): 22,395 (89.6 bb)
BB: 7,605 (30.4 bb)

2 players post ante of 30, Hero posts SB 125, BB posts 250

Pre Flop: (pot: 435) Hero has T♥: 9♥:
Hero calls 125, BB checks

Flop: (560, 2 players) T♠: 3♦: 9♣:
BB bets 250, Hero raises to 1,000, BB raises to 7,325 and is all-in, Hero calls 6,325

Turn: (15,210, 2 players) K♠:

River: (15,210, 2 players) 6♣:

Results: 15,210 pot (0 rake)
Final Board: T♠: 3♦: 9♣: K♠: 6♣:

Hero shows T♥: 9♥:: (Two Pair, Tens and Nines)
(Pre 67%, Flop 89%, Turn 97%)

BB shows 8♣: T♣:: (One Pair, Tens)
(Pre 33%, Flop 11%, Turn 3%)

Hero wins 15,210

Now after I will be back from holiday on 10th of August I will be playing the 888Live National Championship Romania right in my home town :f_cool:

Well done, sounds like a tough day to play both satellites together!
GL at the main event ...and pretend to be a shark because you are one!

Congratulations!

It is quite hard to win the 888 satellite freerolls — so many players (usually)
This is quite an accomplishment.

Best of luck in the live tournament!

Thank you. I think this was restricted to only Romanian players so it's only around 300 entries daily and only top 4 paid

Hello and sorry for the late reply,

I played Day 1 of the tournament and it had 54 entries and was played 15 levels, I managed to play 9 levels before I got out. At the start we had 50000 chips and at the first break ( level 5 ) I had around 70600 chips, after the break I was card dead for around 4 levels (I tried some bluffs and they work)
My last hand was 1010 against AJo and the board came 5J722. I had 15BB and I shoved from the MP and the BB called me.
Overall it was a very nice day to play live and since it was my first tournament I really enjoyed it. I would have loved to get into day 2 but maybe another time. I'm glad I played it and also given the fact that for me was a freeroll I learned something from every player. I liked how the table viewed me ( I tried some bluffs and it worked ) _biggrin: and at the end of the day I finished 25th.
