Ah well.
63rd place, for $640 (plus a $2 toke for the dealers).
I played two all in pots, got it in as a slight but real favorite, and lost both. Can’t have that happen late in a tourney.
MP opens to 9k at 2/4, I flat black eights in the CO, both blinds come along. Flop Kc 7c 6c, checked to me so I take a stab for 15k. Both blinds fold, then the original prefllop raiser shoves for his last 39k total. Well, I have a pair and a draw, and one or the other might be good, and anyway he doesn’t have enough to move me off that much equity. I call, and he has the naked Ac, to go with the Th. The turn of the 8d takes away some of his outs, but tourney vets know that just guarantees the 3c is coming on the river.
Later I open AsJs, a looser, tilting player who just lost a big hand shoves preflop, I call and lose to his KhTh.
Raise once and miss, fold through the 3k/6k blinds, and suddenly I’m down to 40k. Folds to the HJ who limps, and I guess the chart says I’m supposed to rip K8o with less than 7 bigs from the CO. The big blind reships to isolate, and I’m in bad shape against KQo.
Nh, gg, and gl everyone.
