As part of the pokerstars WSOP ME package we got entry to their $1m summer spectacular.  First stage was a 6 seat live sng at the Palms.

3rd-6th $100, 2nd $300, 1st $500+ entry to online freeroll with $800k in prizes.   Top heavy is the correct description.

2k chips to start.  15 min blinds.  25/50, 50/100, 100/200, 200/400.  Top heavy turbo crapshoot.  Sounds like my domain.

Table looks old for internet players (ie mostly my age) so I make one cute 3-bet at 25/50 btn vs co and otherwise sit tight planning to resteal allin at 5/1 1/2  over opening ranges I assume will be incorrectly wide and 3bet calling ranges incorrectly tight.

The last hand at 25/50 I defend KJs vs a 40-ish local. Flop T9x with one club.  I check-shove over his bet and he tank/folds.  He mucked a little hard, obviously frustrated,  and one card flipped.  A ten.  The asian kid in seat 2 sniggers and I try not to giggle.

A couple more shoves over lp opens and I fold A9s 5 handed on btn vs CL utg open at 20bb eff.  He’d been fairly tight and I saw a K as he passed cards to dealer.

100/200 3 handed.  I shove A7o from sb over CL btn raise to 575.  He calls after a brief hesitation with K8o.  He had almost 8k vs the local and me both around 2100.  Flop T98xJ.  Ship it.

Local doubles 99 vs 66 vs CL.  He has 5k, I have 4k, previous CL 3k.

1st hand of 200/400.  KJo on btn.  Sweeeeeeeet.  Ship.  Local insta all-in.  bb folds A5o face up.  Local obv has aces.  FML.   Flop 234 and bb looks ready to kill himself.

Sigh.  Still a free benjy for 45 minutes play is ok.
