Played my first ever PLO tournament tonight and after comfortably doubling up after about 10 minutes with Quad 4s I pretty much lead the tournament until the final table.
Then it all went disasterously wrong. With only the final 3 cashing I decided it was time for some aggression around the bubble, unfortunately every time it was badly placed and I doubled up 2 or 3 players! I think within about 5 minutes of the final table I was short stack with about 5 bb!
Managed to fight back and get heads up with SHY-BOY where it seemed I had them on the rocks and all in only for SHY-BOY to 5natch the chips from under my nose! Was a great heads up battle which I managed to win in the end.
2 hours well spent. And as the title says, my first MTT win, hurrah!

Unfortunately you DIDN'T misunderstand. This is my first MTT win ever on Sky Poker, but as you say a wins a win.
I've seen SHY-BOY about a lot too and was pretty worried that I'd get out played by him. Luckily the cards fell in my favour tonight.
I know how you feel as I also won my first MTT a couple of weeks ago, a BH and I picked up £373. What a buzz.....took me a couple of hours to calm down lol.
Very well done mate and I'm sure it will be the first of many.
Good luck at the tables (except when you're playing against me lol)
