WP Gaz.:ok no problem mate after your initial raise the only choice I had if I wanted to play the hand was the all in. And with there being about 3 stacks even in 5th, 6th and 7th I decided to play hoping you'd lay down but obviously I didnt put you on kings, was hoping you had high cards and my nines would hold up. Well played :clap:clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveadam23 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: Mansion $1m Freeroll Superstar Challenge Bugger, played in the 11.30pm game tonight, going quite well in 6th place when the big stack at the table went all in on my BB. Wasn't paying attention and accidentally I called, with 75o, and he shows A's. :wall :wall :wall Finished in 76th place, and really quite annoyed! :@ :@ Steve.
