RGP Open, $30/$3, 6 handed NLHE

One of my best games, well, at least it feels that way. I played in the RGP Open, $30/$3, 6 handed NLHE today (Saturday) and with about 15 people left, I was pretty dominant as the chip leader. I think I had 3:1 over 2nd place, had massive stack.

So we move to final table and here's the count with 5 left (I could only get the last 100 hands, so I couldn't go back as far as when we first got to the final table)

Seat 2: Saturn27 (3200)
Seat 3: thejim2020 (9735)
Seat 4: PokerHeaven (9985)
Seat 5: MissT74 (16475)
Seat 6: Ace1177 (4605)

Things are going OK, I couldn't steal that much anymore due to my over-aggressiveness from previous table.

We get down to 3, ITM, and here's the first critical hand:

Seat 3: thejim2020 (12090)
Seat 4: PokerHeaven (9110)
Seat 5: MissT74 (22800)

I am the SB (100), Jim is the BB (200). I get 9,9. Heaven folded, I raised to 1400, jim reraises all in, I call. He shows A,Q.

Flop: 4, 7, 6
Turn: 3
River: Q

Argggggg!!!! DAMN river! I'm now down to 10710. I hold my own for awhile, Jim doubles up Heaven once, and now I'm the short stack at about T7500. I go back and forth for awhile, get down to as low as 4K, when I tried to outbluff A,5 with my A,2 and he had flopped a 5.

So, time to double up.

Seat 3: thejim2020 (18480)
Seat 4: PokerHeaven (20625)
Seat 5: MissT74 (4895)

I am in the BB, Heaven limps in, I move all in with Ah5h, she calls with Ac8d.

Flop: Jc, 2h, 8h
Turn: Ad
River: Jh

I get my flush on the river and now I'm at T9800. I get back up to 12K, then back down to T4600. Time to double up again.

Seat 3: thejim2020 (23005)
Seat 4: PokerHeaven (16380)
Seat 5: MissT74 (4615)

I am in the BB, Heaven limps in, I move all in with Ac8d, she instacalls with 7h10h.

Flop: 9s, 5s, Js
Turn: 3s
River: Jd

My A8 is good, and I am back up to T9200. Then this hand comes up.

Seat 3: thejim2020 (23005)
Seat 4: PokerHeaven (12115)
Seat 5: MissT74 (8880)

I am in the BB with 7h, 10h. Jim raises to 1800, Heaven folds, I call.

Flop: 4c, 8h, 9h.

I move all in, he instacalls with Ad10d

Turn: 3h
River: 2h

My flush pulls out another victory, up to T18K. This hand comes 2 hands later:

Seat 3: thejim2020 (14525)
Seat 4: PokerHeaven (11715)
Seat 5: MissT74 (17760)

I am on the button with 8s, 8d. I raise to 2400, Jim calls, Heaven folds.

Flop: 10h, 8c, 9d

He checks, I minibet 1800, he raises all in to 12075, I call. He shows Ah10d

Turn: 7c
River: Ks

Game over for Jim, I'm at T32K now.

Heaven and I go back and forth, stealing here and there by both of us for 11 hands until:

Seat 4: PokerHeaven (12665)
Seat 5: MissT74 (31335)

I am the BB, I get Ah, 6s. Heaven limps in (again), I raise to 3000, she moves all in, I call, she shows 3h, 3c.

Flop: T, A, 6
Turn: Q
River 8

Game over, MissT74 wins an RGP Open event, FINALLY.

It was a very, very good final table. The players were excellent, and I really felt challenged. I fought my way back many, many times (due to my over-aggressiveness, lol) and ended up winning, good for $330 smackers, but more importantly, RGP bragging rights until the next event. ; )
