hendon mob league


just finished hendon mob game,only 75 entrants tonight.needed to finish in top 20 for league points,just played tight first session,picked up a few pots here and there people seemed to be dropping out at regular intervals,made it to final table somehow,massive luck when my aq all in v ak,queen on flop and into top 3,soon down to final 3,other 2 playing fairly tight so picked up a lot of blinds with pot sized raises(had hands every time of course),1 more out and heads up,about 15000 chip defecit but managed to turn it round and win.$240 but more important 20 pts to put myself clear in the league.also the win got me BPP back again so great night for me.
