Thought I'd watch the first couple of hours. Good start for Cada, he's increased his stack by over 10m already.

17/210 in the Saturday Sizzler for £250. Reg'd for day 1 with a friend who then came 12th. Nice to both cash in a decent field size. Slightly disappointing to be so card-dead around and after the bubble. Ended up shipping the final ~10BB with A2 into KK and AK which apparently gave me around 8% equity and shockingly didn't get there. Nice to cash but disappointing not to run it up further. £6,000 up top.

William Kassouf has been let go by grovesnor due to beeing caught chip palming in Leeds last weekend.

From what I understand he helped collect a friend's winning from the roulette table and attempted to pocket £100 chip.

Bizarre. He can't be hard up, he cashed for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the main event a few years ago and isn't a bad player.

He claims it's because he was drunk which is odd like you say he can't be shy of a few £'s and his apology on twitter was pretty poor as he didn't explain to people who didn't know what he did wrong.

So I'm going to end this year £9,450 in profit with over £11,000 in live tournament earnings. It's been an absolutely incredible year. Never had a four figure live tournament cash before this year and then three came this year. Was lucky to bink the big ones and lose the smaller ones. Still got a shot at £3,800+ jackpot on the 2nd January if I win the tournament for winning two in a row.

Nice :)

Made day two waiting for the other day 1 to finish so I can see how my stack compares.

Lost a massive all in late in the tournament with 10 10 one short stack shoved and a big stack reshoved. I've played with him a lot and it looked like an isolation move.

Turns out he had AA which held.

Return tomorrow with about 25 BB and a short at 30k+

Finished 78th from 2009 runners for £350 plus I was free rolling.

Got super lucky and cracked AA with KK just after the bubble and then got knocked out with my AK vs QQ for a 1.2 million chip pot!

11 of 6,050 last night in a $5 for ~$90 and 4 out of 182 in an $11 for ~$160 yesterday. So disappointing not to close either out. Was $3,500 up top in the $5 daily marathon and I was chip leader with 24 remaining. Ran AKdd into AA on an NFD flop which didn't improve. So, so disappointed.

Edit: Up another $100 while I split-screen with my thesis write-up. 45 of ~1000.

Playing well, running statistically as I should be (not many horrendous beats), just not getting that big score :(
