#Unibet72 

This is a story I wrote about winning the Unibet Open with 72 for the RankingHero Unibet competition. ;)

 

 I found out about Glasgow the Unibet Open was on.

So I booked me a coach from London all the way in. Took me a window seat and kicked back for the ride. 

I was gazing out the window looking at cows when all of a sudden there’s smoke and BANG! The engine has died. 

I explain to these guys about poker and a dream about my ‘one time’ and just what this means.

"Don’t worry yourself! we’ll get there", they say. "Quick to the back" the driver exclaims.  

Push and push that's what we did. Every one of them awesome people, but it just wouldn't budge.

 

Not to be stopped. I take to my feet. There’s nothing ‘genna keep me from those 'Irn Bru' laden streets. 

I’m tired, I’m flat, but here at last. I’m starving hungry my stamina won't last.

I walk into town and see this old guy just standing around. 

He calls out to me. "Hey you, I've been waiting, yes you...", "over here" he shouts.

I walk up to him, he says he knows who I am the story of my journey is all over the town.

He invites me in to this roadside cafe. "Fill up" he says. "You'll need your strength." 

Then he tells me a crazy story about a seven and deuce about a dream he’s had, that it's up to me, and how I can't lose. 

“Just play the seven and play the deuce, do it and you can't lose”

Seven and deuce? You gotta be mad. I finish my coffee and make for the town.

3 days later and the final table swings around. I'm parched, I need a drink.

"Hey waitress!" I cry.

Jumping up, what a fool I am... I knock all my chips they’re all over the place.

What do you mean? A ruling was made? 

The whole table calls, except one, the chip leader, she hasn't lost a hand. 

I stack every single one of them and LAUGH OUT LOUD! 

It’s me and her now we’re heads-up and it's being streamed on twitch.

I don’t know what to do, she's better than me. I feel like a fish.

I look down at my cards and he comes flooding back. 

His smile his certainty those words crystal clear  – “just play the seven and deuce do it and you can't lose”.

What’s going on ? How can I even be thinking this? "All in" I whisper, I can't beleive it. Collapsing into the chair. 

"What was that", she says? "All in” I reply.

She looks at me strangely and then says "I call", she tables “JJ” and says – "come on - show all?"

I flip over my cards and she can’t believe her eyes. She smiles and laughs she gives me a high five...

Then I see him. Shuffling out from the crowd.

That guy from the cafe, turns out he's been here since the first round.  

I recognise him now, how could I not have before?

Suddenly I’m confident I know this is won. I toast her my drink. Yes! I know it's already done.

77722 runs out the board. I turn to my side and look him in the eyes, "I’ve done it. I’ve won!".

If you’ve watched an old WSOP you’ll remember his smile, they thought he was a fool but he slowplayed them all.

He's good with a 7 :)
