I finished 2nd. I think I had the winner on ropes on a river beat, he was down to $210. He made a great comback. Last hand was my river flush against his full house that he turned.

Fun stuff.

So here I am, short stacked, looking across the table at the "Terminator" Jeff Prizner. Looking at a pocket pair of fives with big blind coming up I go all-in. Well, after great thought and expert analysis, the Terminator figures that I'm on tilt and he calls with 98 suited.

Flop Q Q x
Turn Q Q x 7
River Q Q x 7 7
or something like that. I'm too much in shock. Beat by a 9 high

ahhh yes... now I remember.

I put you on AK or AQ, knew I'd be behind but felt lucky w/ the suited connectors against a hand like that, plus was almost getting the right pot odds, and then was actually very happy to see the pkt 5's.

However, I did truly feel a little bad about what happened next.

Andrew you did have me on the ropes with that river A to beat my queens.
650 chips is what I actually had at my low point, with 3 of us left, and I won the tourney.

that about says it all. I was at a quiet table and sailed peacefully into the sunset. If I can endure the torture of a 10$ tournament I think JC should have to play too.....

Steve,
It might be time to trade in the Jag for a Bentley GTC I drove one today (sweet)...Northbrook has a few.

I have a hook-up if you need.
