Today I played in a special live SNE freeroll hyper turbo tourney at EPT MC. There were 46 entries, including at least four or five full ringers I've played a bunch with. Nanonoko was there also and was a really cool guy to chat with. The tourney paid $2500 for first with $100 bounties on all players. All final table participants receive a $215 tourney ticket. Should the winner of the event then win a heads up match with Barry Greenstein, his prize money would be doubled and the final table members would instead receive a $530 tourney entry.
Before the first hand was dealt at my first table, all but one of us agreed to flip for stacks. I woke up with KJ and was up against 33, K8, JT, and some other rag hands. The flop came KJ9, turn 5, river K to score me 6 bounties and an additional 6 starting stacks. Awesome. Shortly after I did a quick taped interview for what I believe was a Nordic poker site regarding the flip, why it happened and how I took it down. Maybe I'll find the video online one day.
Unfortunately, after reaching the final table and making it down to four handed play with 10 bounties collected, I lost two 70/30s AIPF both to same person which all but eliminated me. If AT had been > KT one time, there's a very good chance I would have shipped the thing. I guess I can't complain though, as I did score $1k USD in bounties and what will either be a $215 or $530 tourney ticket I can use for a Sunday major or SCOOP event.
Not a bad score given it was a freeroll.

I don't currently do any coaching. I may however have a video series being released on one of the major coaching sites. No promises that it will happen, but if/when it does I will be sure to mention it on the blog.
