Didn't play much this weekend apart from the pokerstars hundred grand and the Mansion 150k gtd, both on Sunday evening. Crashed out 3012th out of 18000 odd in the stars game - just out of the money but managed to finish 43/843 on Mansion. Was quite pleased as I lost over half my stack early on when the nut flush ran into 4 jacks and I somehow managed not to give away all my chips. Tripled up with tens after waiting a while low stacked then kept it going from there. With 90 places paid I was resigned to not cashing when 127/127 but somehow managed to stick around and doubled up twice in succession shortly after the bubble before my AK was called by the big stack in the BB with A9 and he hit his 9 on the turn. What with my laddies bankroll diminishing it looks like i'll be playing a bit more on Mansion in future. collecting 555$ for my troubles of which i'll get a roll of 395$ once the cash put into a pot for a saver gets dished out.

Spent the rest of the evening poker free but kept an eye on Sparks43 in the pokerstars hundred grand I had gone out of - always good to watch players when they go this deep in such a big field and he was unlucky to go out to a 3 outer in 22nd place. Was interesting watching the chat box as he had about a dozen members of the ladbrokes forum cheering him on - not quite sure what the table full of yanks made of it - especially Murph's running commentary on his Xbox world cup football campaign (wp btw Murph) - but with what i'd been smoking it was pretty surreal.
