Ladies Event day at WSOP Europe in Prague, and I’m coming in with one goal: turn my $30,000 bankroll challenge into a bracelet. I jump into the €1,000 Ladies Event Championship (30-minute levels, 40k starting stack) and immediately get one of those “is this real life?” tables—Annette Obrestad on my right, plus a super fun, tough field that’s not afraid to put chips in. I also break down a brutal spot where I 3-bet A♠K♣, flop top two, and still get my soul snatched by 9♣5♣ runner-runner clubs. It’s been a rough series, but we reset, re-enter, and keep swinging. Then the real dilemma hits: do I fire again in the Ladies (best bracelet shot with a small field) or jump back into the €10M GTD Main Event because the FOMO is real? I go back and forth, talk it out, and ultimately commit to the Ladies Event—because the vibe is amazing, the structure gets shove-festy late, and the bracelet equity is just too hard to ignore. We end up hand-for-hand on the bubble with me clinging to 5 big blinds, and somehow we bag for Day 2. I’m 30 players away from a bracelet, and anything can happen.
