A tale of 7♥ and 2♣.
Bankroll to 0, what to do. Slots are not the way to go.
Its the end of March and a new promo catches my eye.
A little bit of chat, a little bit of streaming what can be easier to rebuild that roll.
Then one day my hero arrives Mr. Unibetpoker, He says well done Jonny2192 you have won viewer.
50e is the prize, and soon I decide, Glasgows my dream, 25x2e Unibet open sattelites is the way to go.
Somedays are up, somedays are down but in the end I play the 250e sattelite and in the end Glasgow is my prize.
Now I am here.
The final table appear after nearly 3 days of a blur.(Its a bit cold sitting on the center spot,glad its not)
Somehow I make it to the last two.
80% of the chips sit in my pile.
Young cocky kid in a hoody says "lets play for it all 1st takes both prizes"
How can I say no, The deal is done. One winner, 2nd goes home broke.
(sure these poker kids are getting younger)
Oh no what have I done, were all even hes bullying me out of my stack.
No more I say, His next 3 bet I am all in.
Then it comes, he raises it high to 105k.
I dont look at my cards, I say the dreaded words "All In"
He removes his hoody and slips on his headphones and goes in to stare down mode.
No tells from me I dont know what I have.
I use my patented poker face just in case.
The stare continues
My nerves are going, I must look.
First card I see oh no a 7♥
Second card I see oh my god what have I done its a 2♣
I try to stay calm, but I feel a bead of sweat appear then it falls on my cards.
He lets out a mighty yell "I call, bluffer"
I want to cry, I consider some plans, Is there a way out.
We turn our cards,8♥ 8♣ he shows.7♥ 2♣ I show.
A snigger from the audience appears.
How emabarressed I feel. I feel like a right chimp.
Then the flop appears. 7♠ 2♠..... a glimmer of hope, joy returns.
Then oh no the 8♦, All hope gone.
I stand to leave,I just cannt bear it, head bowed low what have I done.
Then comes the turn the 2♦, a full house but not good enough.
I turn my back I cant look, my dreams shattered with one crazy move.
"dealing river" Anounces the dealer.
A gasp emits for the crowd.
I turn round and there it is in a ray of light the2♥.
Young poker kid bursts in to tears.
I am just stunned.
A nice new trophy to remind me of my daft play for ever.
Thank you twitch and thank you Unibet its time for a nice long break. I will back again to try again in Cannes.
The moral of this story pokers a game of skill but sometimes you cant beat a bit of luck.
And oh yeah look at your cards it helps.
