I arrived late on monday evening, somewhere around 10pm. The owner of the villa was waiting for me at the airport to take me to the mansion. When I got there only Piratos was there, who went to bed quite early, because he was playing in the mini IPT event and had to play on tuesday. With just 24 players left, he had to get a good nights rest to keep his focus and concetration for the tournament.
The other players were playing cashgames at the casino so I decided to walk there to take a look.Off course I got lost, because it was dark already so I had no idea how to get to the casino. I asked everyone I met on the street how to get there, so finally I arrived at the casino without much trouble. There was a huge waitinglist for the cashgames so I played some Blackjack. I made a little bit of money and the dealer was kind enough to tip me €35 because she made a mistake paying out winnings. I didn't notice it untill we started the next hand, so that was a nice little welcome gift :)
When I went back to the villa around 3am, there was off course nobody on the street anymore to ask for directions, so I took a little detour back to the house. Fortunately I got there quite fast and went to bed.
The other players got home somewhere around 6am, who woke me up so once again I had a very short night. When they went to bed I could sleep a few more hours and got up at 11am. Since everyone was still sleeping I went out to the city center to do some shopping and to look around a bit.
When i got back Piratos was about to go to the casino to continue the mini IPT, I went with him to watch and to play some cashgames. The cashgames were juicy with a lot of bad players and I managed to scoop a nice €600 profit in 4 hours playing NL200. I was pretty tired because I still hadn't sleep that much and have been busy all day so I went back to the villa.
I went to bed around 10pm and woke up the next morning around 8. Still, everyone else was asleep so I went shopping again, this time went to Sliema and Valetta. Both very nice cities with a lot of shops where I bought some new shoes, new cloths and some jewelry. Back at the house Pirat told me he was at the final table for the event and was 5th in chips. Well done Piratos!
The next day Pirat went to the casino a little earlier because he had an interview for an Italian tv channel. Me and the other finish guys from the villa went over to the casino to watch Pirat play, but it was pretty hard to see since the table was at some stage and we had to sit far away on the ground floor, so we couldn't see anything. The other guys went to the city to buy some stuff and I played some more Blackjack, because it was the last day of the tournament, the EMOP day 1A started in another casino there were zero cashgames in this casino. That wasn't such a good idea because I ended up losing €500 in a few hours. Hard lesson, but I learned to not play blackjack anymore :P
I watched Pirat a little more but it was a bit boring to watch, since I couldn't see anyhting. There was no cam on the table and the talk was Italian for the most part.
Pirat come in 2nd place for a €16K payday, he lost the HU with his QT vs the TT from the chipleader.
Congrats Pirat!!
That's it for now, updates will follow!! Thanks for reading!
