€2.5k Unibet Open Package and four figures

Well I put in an uber 12 hours grind session this past Sunday. It didn't start too well but then I ran deep in the Stars $11 rebuy. I ended up busting in 6th out of 1,362 runners for a score of $1,700. This was bitter sweet as I was playing very well and thought I'd have a great shot at shipping it. 6 handed I lost a flip to bust a player KJ < QT. This would have seen 5 left with me 2nd in chips, I failed to recover from this and busted out in 6th.


Last week I watched a few clips on YouTube of the Unibet Open event in Malta, it looked sick. So I did some research and saw that they run a weekly tourney with 8 packages guaranteed. They are holding an event in Barcelona this week but their next stop is in Dublin in August. Therefore I downloaded Unibet, fired up an account and fired in some Euros. I played a €60 sub satellite to their weekly €275 satellite. I shipped this and bagged a seat.

Now with €20k worth of packages guaranteed they needed 80 players in order to meet the guarantee, they satellite only got 63 runners meaning an overlay of about €4,500. Once I got a decent stack it was fairly easy to push on and bully everyone as they were just all on auto fold. After 3 and a half hours of solid play I found myself in the top 8 and with a €2,500 package to the Unibet Open.

It's a 4 day €1,500 event. I also get €300 for flights and the rest covers four nights in the City West Golf Resort Hotel which is where the event is held. Really looking forward to it.
