Now that's one loaded freeroll!

My goal was to win as many seats as I could to reduce the competition for the Final Event. So far I'm 3/3 baby! I won my seat the first time out. I managed to score a Step 2 ticket from next event. Last night I wanted a Step 3 or better. I'm may play today's event. I was up very late last night and have to bowl this morning but I'm hoping to catch a second wind by the time the tournament starts.

With the help of predator06 - the well known PLO8 player - and rail from Snuffy, nzgreen, OhCaptain and others, AND some friendly rivalry with macanthony I squeaked into 9th place last night, er this morning, for the Sunday Majors Gold Package consisting of 2 $215 tickets. Well squeaked isn't quite accurate. I was firmly in the middle of the pack when we hit the final table. It had become quite apparent that PokerStar really didn't want me to scoop a pot. I would get it all in - not an easy feat in pot limit - and be waaaaaay ahead on the flop only to lose half the pot by the river. One player even commented that I was always good for a chop. Sigh.

My bust out hand was remarkable for the fact that I couldn't even take down half the pot after outflopping both of my foes. NH. GG. IGHN



And on that note I'm off to bowling!
