Thanks for nominating me for that post/thread. I will be there. Good luck everyone!

Oh well. Was setting myself up for being called down and got exactly what I wanted. Had aces in the BB, gainer OTB flat called. Dew folded SB and I raised pot with Aces. Gainer called and flop came K 5 4. Pot was 750, I bet 500, he min raises me, and I shove for around 200 more. He calls with 56 and hits runner runner straight to KO me. Nothing you can do. Gg all. Hope for a better showing next time.

GG everyone. Caught a runner runner straight myself early on which gave me some chips to play with. Then just caught hands when it mattered and when my big hands didn't hit, it was relatively easy to lay them down. Things went my way this tourney.

Yeah, GG. Eleven players entered this week. I got lucky against gamer but unlucky later against Dew. Ah, well. When we got to three handed, Dew with the big stack pushed w/AJ and I (short stacked) called w/88. But Dew caught the J on the turn and I was done. LakeDweller busted on the next hand.

Here's the five in the money:

1. Dew12109
2. TheLakeDweller
3. FullGainer
4. frob2600
5. Immortaldonk.

Thanks RB !
