A hand from a tournament played October 17, 2012: Top straight first five.
This was a $5 + 50c tournament played on PokerStars last night. I was surprised there were only 11 runners, and I wouldn’t have played if I hadn’t thought late registration would result in 5 or at least 4 places paid. I’m glad I did though, because after a none too great start the cards all but played themselves. Probably I also had more luck than I deserved; heads up I was massive chip leader, and had a bit of luck there too.
The screengrabs below are all from the tournament and are in chronological order.
