#67 - May 24th '09: "Viva Espana!" 05/24/2009

A few moments ago, I won a $200 Satellite to The Full Tilt Poker - Espana Series. The tournament had 61 entrants and as such, gave away 4 $3K prize packages with 5th getting his money back. I couldn't resist taking a punt for two reasons:

I excel in tournaments of this size.
The field was full of Spanish players and had not a single recognised player.

As was my hope, the tournament played super-soft and I easily negotiated my way to a chip-lead come final table time. From there, it was a case of boxing clever. With 6 left, I surrendered my chip-lead but I was never in danger with the short-stacks going at each other in a battle for survival. Oddly, the tournament continued after the 5th place finisher hit the rail. We all had our packages in the bag but played it out for the glory. I finished in 1st place after my Q9 beat my opponent's K4 all-in preflop.

The package includes flights to Madrid, hotel accommodation, a €1500 seat in Event I and a little spending money. The tournament is a 3-day affair but has a guarantee of just $150K, implying there won't be a big turnout. Here's hoping for the 2nd installment of the 'I Don't Hate Live Poker' saga!
