    Default Turbo Takedown $1,000,000 prize pool ??? ANYONE ???

    POKERSTARS...

    Hi guys, played my first sng this morning when i woke up..
    ive played the Turbo takedown before...
    i think this was my story...

    I was a NL10 grinder (kinda new to poker)
    Played the 15FPP sng 400 players - 1st place gets entry.
    I won that sng sat, and went onto to coming 129th in the Turbo Takedown after 5 1/2 hours of patiently waiting for the monsters....
    I got $500 into my account which was pretty awesome considering i played NL10
    It was hard though, i suffered a bad beat by a donk, my QQ vs his 75o ( i remember it like it was yesterday) took me down to 40K chips with blinds at 5/10K.
    I used all my time allowance and folded every hand except QQ+ and i managed to hold on for an extra 1 1/2 hours to gain an extra $200



    The payout structure is pretty amazing on this one....
    their is usualy 18,000 players
    and top 5,000 are paid...

    5000th place gets $78 and it goes up rather quick, like every 500 players then 300, then 200 for the money to go up...

    the 5000 player mark takes about an hour to get to. and most the players dont even recognise its the bubble. their still going all in happily with rags lol...

    Once the bubble is over they drop like flies...



    So yeah back on track, i woke up this morning. got the milk and biscuits
    turned comp on, checked the cashier page. got 2.1K FPP
    so i decided to register for a Hyper Turbo 6max sng to Turbo Takedown for 1,000FPP...
    so i played it, 2nd hand in got AJ on CO, i ship it. BB calls even stack 77, runner runner A J...
    last hand , SB ships to my BB. i got 1.5K, he got 400, blinds are 100/200. i call his ship with K6, he had A2 and i K the river..



    TOURNY STARTS TONIGHT AT 8:30 UK TIME... so like 3:30 USA time ??

    i will be HOPEFULLY their all night long. going for a top 1000 finish to up the BR.
    top 10 would give a nice car,BR,holiday ...

    See you their if your railing. ill be on chat all night

    Good Luck! I hope you can make it to the final table. I might be able to rail a bit, depends on the family.
