Keith Boniface - Most consistent stack throughout, but exited moments ago!
At the 17th level of blinds, which now reached 2,500/5,000, Keith Boniface, just finished the tournament in 98th place. Keith held a very consistent stack throughout the entire tournament, having started today with 141k. He reached almost 200k at one point but had a hit or two that took him down to around 100k. A few hands later he entered a hand that stalled his tourney progress, sending him out after losing a hand against his final opponent.
“I was on the BB which was 5,000, and the UTG +1 raised to 11k, which meant very little to me, as he’d been pretty active earlier on. 2 people flat call. UTG +1 looks nervous so I thought he had a bad hand. I had 110k left so I shoved with K4 suited, confident that the last 2 limpers would fold, and he will fold but he called with A10. He hit an Ace I hit a four.
“It was a good tourney which sped up far too much in the last few hours. About 4 hours into the second day people started dropping like flies, and I started the day with 140k, I went up to 195k and then I was hugely card dead, hence the need to shove.”“As for the competition, there was a pretty good standard. Some really good players, I would say much better than the normal tourneys. This is easily the highest standard of Italians that I’ve played against. Most are still weak, and about half the players left are pretty good. My only complaint would be the horrible 25,000 chip that doesn’t even look like a chip! It made it almost impossible to assess opponents’ chip stacks!
Structure was good, and it was an enjoyable tournament, I just hate it when blinds go up so quickly and I’m card dead!
