The Road to SnowFest

[GfoRce009]

I muffed up Step E earlier and got relegated to a Step D (playing that at the mo). Hopefully can get straight back to E.

Yeah I saw the J3 hand - I was wondering what he would 3x raise with 12bbs from the sb with...was all a bit strange! lol

[Gus Mango Fish]

Was just extremely lucky and got a replay of Step D. With only 250 chips left, 2 other players with 1k+ decide to get it on lol, thus busting one of them and giving me 5th spot for the replay w0000t.

I'm not wearing my lucky hoodie. I'll go and get it. Maybe that'll give me some run good?...

Edit: Quick update. I put the hoodie on. First hand on the next Step D is this:

Bof! And I got totally outplayed on the bubble of Step D

Last few games have been a bit of bad run,...

F > F > E > E > E > D > D > Busto

Steps still left: F & G.

[DaMatrix]

You can do it! Let us now when you play step GG.

+1. You think you'll give it a bash tonight ??

I've got one last Step F to play first. Am regged up for that at the mo. Going to try and win another G so I've 2 shots at the prize.

[CitrusSR]

Just read through all this! Nice one Matt, you seem to be on good form lately, hopefully I will be about to rail when you play the final one

[Gus Mango Fish]

Just played the F, and finished 4th for a retry. Lost with AK vs 66 for the massive chip lead when 4 left. Still, I was lucky to get the replay as was rooted at the bottom of the table for ages...

Thanks Steve. I was hoping it would be tonight, but now have another F to replay!

I also won a FPP qualifier for 2500 FPPS. Entry into 8000 FPP final with about 250 runners and 4 SnowFest prizes. Long shot, but it was free-ish, so worth a go.

[TomPich]

vwp GMF. The Steps are awesome to rake up FPPs off a small investment.

I railed the AK < 66, vul.

Keep an eye out for busto_soon in the steps. Hes in the top 2 of SnG grinders in the world. Hes also a Supernova Elite which is ridiculously impossible to achieve.

[s4ooter]

i noticed him, thats a sic acheivment imo
