By the way Trevor, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when you and Jenn discussed strategies that may work to defeat me...
I've thought myself if it may be worth it to change my game up and become super wreckless in the first game just for the fun of it....
It'll be fun, that's for sure!

The only reason my HU game has even become respectable is from watching and listening to Jenn. I can help her with ring/MTT, but HU is her thing, so how can I help? The only strategy I gave her was pretty simple - play your game and don't get unlucky...
It's going to be worth the price of admission, one way or the other

An unbelievable tournament with an amazingly difficult final. I was nervous to play this match as I felt that Jenn had little to lose and I had everything to lose. I was expected to win just for the fact that I only needed to once and not twice. I also had a lot of respect for Jenn's heads up game and after tonight I know I was right to. Jenn is a phenomenal player! Jenn didn't play 'her' game the first time we played and I knew that this time she would be ready.
Early on, some chip movement here and there but no real significant leads for either of us. Jenn was playing decidedly more aggressive then our previous encounter. You know when your heads up and you 'think' your hand is good but your not sure and your opponent is betting all the way to the river? Well, Jenn would bet aggressively the whole way down and put me past that threshold of what I could call. It's an amazing ability to know what amount of chips it takes on any given hand to get someone to fold.
Jenn and I are fairly level in chips at the 50/100 level and I make it 300 with AQc, Jenn calls.
Flop AKQ I bet 300, Jenn calls. Turn 10. Jenn check raises me from 300 to 800. I reluctantly call hoping for that A or Q. River blank. Jenn bets out 1500. I think forever on this one as I know she is able to make this kind of move with anything if she senses weakness. I eventually call after misreading something I saw her do earlier. The mind has an amazing way of convincing ones self of things....
I'm down to about 1900, Jenn has 10100. I turn up the aggression and find Jenn starting to protect her stack. I pull to about even about an hour into the match with nothing significant coming to mind. I then raise from the small (100) with AK and make it 600 total. Jenn insta calls. Flop K 7 2. I fire out 800 and Jenn insta calls. Turn 4. I fire 1500 and Jenn again insta calls and looking confident. I look at her inquisitively, am I being trapped here I think to myself. River A. I move all in for my remaining stack of about 3K, Jenn goes into the tank and says out loud you didn't have AK did you? I say nothing. Jenn calls off all of her chips but 250 and I rake in the 11750TC pot. I start my victory speech in my head..."I'd like to thank Rob for hosting this...."
Jenn is all in blind with 89 I call with K10d, Jenn hits an 8.
Next hand I have A5, Jenn 23....Jen hits trip 2's
Unbelievably Jenn takes the lead back 20 minutes later!!!
Unreal....
We battle into the 200/400 level playing hand after hand (two dealers!). We take a short break with me having a lead of 8400 to 3600 into the capped 300/600 level. I'm thinking that I really hope I can win this because I wasn't sure if I could play another 2 hours! First hand of 300/600 and 2h22minutes into the final Jenn raises all in from the small for 3600, I tank again but eventually call knowing that this is going to start getting pushy.
My QJo vs. Jenn J9d
Flop Kd 7c 6s
Turn 6d
River Ah
Great game Jenn, I really don't want to play you again!!! Thanks to Rob and all that were accomodating through this tournament, it was a tonne of fun!

Congrats Shanny!
Well done Jenn!
Sounds like it was a great match! (again) Jenn, what did you have when Shannon had AK? That seemed like the TSN Turning Point

Well played Shannon - you deserved to win (although it took you a while ). I thought it was over after the AK vs KQ hand, but a few lucky double-ups and Jenn just kept going. You both played great, and it was fun to watch. Congrats on the win!

Everyone take a nice deep breath, it's over!
congratulations Shannon, sounds like it was a fun battle and congratulation Jenn you had a great run, neither of you are allowed at my home games anymore.......geesh, by not inviting people that can beat me my games are getting really small now, I mean it's basically me, my dog, and my kids?
Again, kudos should go out to Rob for all his efforts.....hope you do it again so I can at least donate.

Thanks everyone, much appreciated. I'm very proud of this accomplishment. It really wasn't easy, one of the most challenging victories I've had to face.
Thanks again to Rob for running it!
