Getting closer

Last days in London have been interesting!

On Tuesday's tournament I busted on bubble 12th, when top 10 paid. That's annoying.

On Wednesday I had a day-off from poker, so I went jogging. I ran 45 minutes continuously at Wanstead Park, actually surprised even myself with my stamina. . I didn't expect to be able to run that long time without walking at all. It was great feeling to be able to run wearing only t-shirt and shorts without freezing even it was 10pm. I like summer!

On Thursday I went to play one of my favourite poker tournaments of Aspers. £50 buy-in, £2500 prize pool guaranteed! Good for me it attached only 41 players, so there were a huge overlay! Casino had to add £450 extra! fortunately I was lucky enough to get my share of prize pool after disappointment of Tuesday. When there were three players left I had biggest stack and two another guys had pretty equal stacks, not very much less than me. They ended up to be all in A2 against TJ. Unfortunately it was my Vietnamese friend who lost his stack with A2. I would have liked to share top 2 prize money with him and I think he would have been willing to make the deal with me as well. Now I ended up to play heads-up against much weaker player. He would have liked to do 50%/50% deal, but I refused it, since I think I had a pretty big edge against him. Unfortunately I lost couple of big hands and finished 2nd.. I could have played better, need to study heads-up more. I got "only" £630 for my 2nd place when first place made £1000.. If I accepted the deal I would have gotten £190 more, but I really wanted to win my first 4-figs.. Still didn't get it.

The tournament finished something like 3:30 am, so after that I decided to go to Tesco to buy some cakes to not disappoint my co-workers next day when I finish my internship. I really hate traditions. After all I slept less than 4 hours.

In morning I started my last journey from Leytonstone to Deptford Bridge. I have to change the train twice, at Stratford and at Canary Wharf. When I arrived to Canary Wharf I noticed that my connection train is already there, so I had to run a bit. When I accelerated my speed I noticed something flying from my pocket, something small, shiit it's my mp3 player! I saw how it hit the ground, started sliding, kept sliding, hit the side of the train and dropped to the railway. That's it, I couldn't go to get it since there would be a risk of being hit by train. I really hate pockets of shorts! Luckily my mp3 was pretty old one and not very valuable anymore, but still it was working well and full of my playlists. Now I need to work out my playlists again and it takes way too much time!

So after all it's finally my last day at job! 3,5 hours to go and I can start my holiday, that's what I've been looking for a long time!

Almost as much as holiday I've been waiting for new episode of Headhunterz's radio show HARD WITH STYLE what was released today!
"Love it or hate it, this is hard with style!"
