that's it for me. I raise with 77, he called.Flop comes 7K4 two spades. He checks, I check. Turn is an ugly Q of spades. He bets 40, I call. River is a splendid Q. He bets 200, I raise to 600, he goes all-in, I call, he turns over KK...I was a bit ahead so I survived for a while, I went down with TT against his flopped two pairs...

didn't get a bye, but I managed to win my first match. Got behind when I hit a pair of aces on the flop, but my opponent made two pair and then filled up on the turn.But I got a good run of cards after that, KK, QQ and AA in about 10-12 hands and that was enough to win.
