📝 Tournament Review & Key Hands:

Today I participated in the ¥55 QQPK Zodiac Snake PKO Turbo tournament. This was actually my very first time playing in a Zodiac Series event, so I was really excited to see how it goes! The field was massive with 771 entries, making it a real test of patience and adaptability.

During the early and middle stages, I tried to stay disciplined and pick my spots carefully. One of the interesting spots happened earlier when I held K Q hearts in the big blind: on a coordinated board of 2♥ 9♠ 6♠ 8♦ A♥, I faced some aggression, managed to navigate the flop well, but ultimately had to fold to a strong three-bet raise from the cutoff, saving my chips for better spots. Another nice post-flop moment occurred when I defended with K Q and hit top pair on a 6♠ 5♠ 2♥ K♣ 2♣ board, check-calling through before firing a value bet on the river to scoop a nice pot against the UTG player.

Unfortunately, my tournament life came to an end in a brutal setup on hand #31. I picked up A♠ 6♣ in late position and got deeply involved, but my opponent flopped a straight with A K on a 5♠ 10♣ Q♠ 2♠ J♥ runout. My high card hand couldn't improve, and I busted out around the middle of the pack.

Overall, it was an action-packed PKO event and a great introduction to the Zodiac series. I'm quite satisfied with how I played my post-flop spots, though variance got me at the end. Attached is the final hand highlight video! Good luck to everyone at the tables
