September 2021. Sahara Hotel and Casino. Las Vegas, NV.Weekly DeepStack event hosted by Poker4Breakfast Group.
$150 buyin with $150 addon. Limited to 150 players due to size of poker room and Covid protocols.
Level 8. 1000/2000 with 2000 big blind ante.
I have 87BB after busting several players earlier in levels 2 & 3.
V1 profiles as LAG. V2 profiles as a jackal. Wild and very unpredictable.
I hold QdQh (my favorite hand!!!!). I am in CO. V1 is UTG+1. V2 is MP2
Table is 8 handed. Table dynamic has been very passive since I got moved 6 hands earlier.
Pre-flop action:
UTG folds. V1 opens to 3BB (6000). Folds to V2 who raises to 12BB (24K). Folds to me. I 4-bet to 22BB (44K). Folds to V1 who folds.
V2 goes: "Aces, huh?". He folds pocket kings (KK) face up. I show my Queens. As we go on break, V2 goes to men's room and vomits according to several eyewitnesses.
I went on to a 3rd place finish after an ICM chop for over $1800
