Thomas lost half of his stack a few hands earlier and had about 25.000 left, he got dealt 44 and had to make a move, and with the high blinds his only option was to go all-in. So he did, and unfortunately he gets one caller who shows 66. Thomas is now in a very bad position, and it is his tournament life that is on the line. No help on the flop, please give us a four on the turn, no four. River, 8 of spades.

Thomas finished on a VERY impressive position for being his first really big tournament, 73 out of 660, only 9 places from the money. I had a beer with him in the bar, and as I understood it he was very happy with his performance, but of course he was unhappy with not getting to the money when he was so close. But he only paid $3 for this great experience, and he will try to qualify again! He was very happy with being a part of Team RedKings for a week, and also says that he recommends everybody that wants to play a live tournament, should do their first one by qualifying through RedKings.com. Sounds a bit like RedKings propaganda, but that is actually what he said

So, EPT Dortmund by pokerstars.com is over for RedKings for this time, but we are already planning for our next trip to EPT San Remo.

Thanks to all who followed the blog and good luck at the tables!
