Well, that was short and sweet in the Daily Deepstack but it must be said that the chips are flying.
Two back-to-back hands were my downfall.
Having to fold K♣2♣ on a board of 2♠2♦8♥8♠A♠ when four-bet on the river wasn't on the cards today but that's what we had to do, leaving us with less than half starting stack.
The following hand we call a shove from the big blind on Q♥4♣5♣6♠ holding 4♠5♠, only to be shown the Dirty Diaper 2♣3♠. The 6♦ was no help and ended our run much earlier than we hoped!
The atmosphere is amazing and looking forward to being able to present all successful players with their Pokernews card protectors in due course!
