Freeroll Win #8

I was thinking it was gonna be a winless August. I haven't been playing many freerolls and like my last post, in the ones that I have played, I'm not getting deep ITM.

So, with a bit of free time and not much expectation, I entered a €35 added rebuy freeroll. The first hand was my lucky hand of the freeroll. Holding 93d and in the BB, with two all-iner, I called. These better players were holding AKo and Q5h. I flopped the flush and boom I had 3K in chips and got called a few names.

After that opening expert freeroll move, I played my regular freeroll game and managed to avoid any critical suckouts. With 11 left from the starting field of 1303, I find QQ on the button, with the table folding to me.

Blinds are 8K/15K. I have 180K, second largest stack at the table, SB is a short stack with 35K and BB is the large stack with 306K.

I make a 3xBB raise showing steal, and get both blinds to call, so SB is allin. Flop is beautiful T72 rainbow and the large stack BB goes all-in!

I make my easy call and beat KTo and A6o when there's no suckout with a 3 on the turn and 8 on the river. With that hand, I reach the final table with the chip lead:


Final table play took 15 minutes. With 3 left, I survived a race when my 88 held against the short stack's AQo and I entered heads up play two to one up in chips.

Six hands later, my A5o avoided a 6-outer suckout of K3o and I win #8.

And oh yeah, earlier in the week I came in fourth in the bigger €100 freeroll.

[Update] In the last two freerolls before the end of August, I ended up cashing in both as well: 3/797 and 14/916.
