Our Australiasian Ambassador Stewart Scott has been playing bounty tournaments at PartyPoker.com for entry to the Aussie Millions. Here’s Stewart’s update on his progress.
After exchanging bad beat stories for a couple of hours it’s time for some poker action. I play the $50 side event with a $640 Aussie Millions ticket as bounty on my head and also have a longest lasting $50 beer money side bet with Party manager Henrik. Everyone and I mean everyone wants to take me on to get the bounty.
The tournament director makes the announcement and I have 110 hungry players cheering loudly smelling blood. I figure good cards will work in my favour but if I’m on a bad run I will get nowhere.
Tournament starts and I fold for the first two levels being card dead. Finally I looked down at two beautiful cowboys and put in a standard raise of 4 times the bb. I got 4 callers, how unexpected?!
Flop comes down 589 two hearts. Being on the button everyone checked to me and I lead out with a pot size bet and got one caller. Odds improving. 2s on the turn shouldn’t change anything and I lead out with another big bet and the guy repops and I come over the top all in. He snap calls and show A9. Sweet!
But you probably know the end of this story, an A came on the river and Peter (that’s the guys name) screams out YES! I’m heading for the rails and wishes Peter all the best. Hopefully I will see him in Melbourne in January.
That’s it for today. I will head over to a mates pub tonight to play a $300 tourney $30k GTD, wish me luck I need it.
Over and out Stewart Scott
