    Very interesting read! If its not a rude question to ask, how much did you sit down with in the €300 rebuy game? Did you rebuy at all, don't think you mentioned it in your blog.

    I heard that there were people buying in to the tune of about €2000?

    Just the €300. No rebuy. there was a lot of rebuys. 138 to be precise.

    Forgot to mention classic hand early on against stormin norman. Both all in with aces as table chip leaders. Split pot. Took him out in last 18 somewhere with AQ vs AJ.

    I was to Jacs left when down to 2 tables then seat 6 or 7 on final table.
    The guy who knocked me out was wearing a Fitz polo shirt... was it one of you guys. Hope my chips were used well.

    Well Done Shortstack!
    It takes a lot to get through a field of that size and quality.

    I am suffering badly from the flu so only played because I had some free vouchers into it. Played tighter than tight but never really saw a hand.
    Was knocked out around 12 and there were still 9 tables left after nearly 5 hours of play.

    I enjoyed the tournament - thought it was very smoothly run etc but there were a few surprises along the way which I didn't like. When registering we were told there were no top-ups but at the start of the tournament Kremser announced that you could rebuy if you had less than the starting stack of 3K!
    Some players were rebuying after folding their small blind and were immediately up to 6K allowing them to bully players who weren't prepared to rebuy.

    The running Ante made a big difference - It put the shortstacks under pressure but also meant that you would win quite a nice pot by robbing the blinds.
