This was the very first hand of a $5 STT on PKR. It's a prime example of players not being able to let go of their precious pockets pairs and I'm glad they didn't

End Of Hand #175487260

With a raise and a re-raise before me, there is only going to be one thing I am going to do here and I couldn't believe my luck with the way the betting went. The guy with 8-8 should never have called. There were 2 re-raises after him so I don't know what he thought he was beating. The J-J had put in a third of his chips in a re-raise, but again he has to stop and think what I would go all in with after a raise AND a re-raise.

Always nice to treble up on the first hand. I went on finish second after a fairly easy ride into the money
