Played the Victoria Casino on Sunday afternoon 3 pm. I was at a table with Albert Sapiano a known regular, he busted 3 times before the re-buy period was over. He called a flop shove with bottom pair holding 4 6 and faced a pair of aces, he felted the guy when the 6 hit the river. He over bets pots and plays any two, a waking ATM unless he felts you, he’s won $359,541 but I think it cost him $2 million in buy ins.
The level of play was awful and I busted when with binds at 300/600 I opened UTG with As9s. I got called in 4 places, the flop came King high with two spades and I over bet shoved for 7,500 only to be called in two places by K9 and a lower spade flush draw. “I know I’m behind, but I have to call” she said as she put her tournament life at risk with top pair weak kicker. Awful play by her and worse by me. I’m not playing there again, it is always a miserable experience, some locations just don’t work for you. I’ve never got over busting on the bubble one night, I just missed the last tube and had to spend £55 on a taxi home. The chips are good and apparently they have some new cards with large numbers waiting to be used once their old stock are used up, much to Albert’s annoyance.
