ESPT Malaga

I finished 14th out 375 runners, losing in the last level of day 2 after two grueling days.

I'm very happy with how I played but at the end it all came down to a bad read. I mistakingly thought a player was weak on an AJJdd5 board and believed my A9 was good, but he had the jack and the miracle ace didn't come.

I started day 2 very short stacked but a 20 minute rush saw me go from 20k to 180k in 3 hands when I doubled up with AQ vs QJ, doubled up again with a set vs Top pair and then I eliminated another player with KK vs AQ.

I was short stacked because late in day 1 I lost a huge pot with AK vs QQ and 44 that would have put me in the top 10 for day 2.

All in all it was a good tournament, but as always going deep and not coming out with at least a final table is quite dissapointing.
