Adanthar hangs in! New table, gonna get on a run...

Now is when it gets interesting....

Adanthar is eliminated in 30th place, collects $1,181.46. He was real card dead, and when he got 'em they didn't hold, but with prodigious skill he got deep and made it through level after level. It was great to watch, perfect play.

meh, 0 for 3 with A24/A42/A543 in big pots late. oh well.

It's 4:55 am and there are 4 players left at the final table. The antes are 2500, limit 15/30k. But I couldn't leave until now because I spent the last hour, along with what seemed like at least 15 other people watching the best display of short stack play possibly anywhere.

It was impossible for LL7358 to get to the final table - 2nd lowest with a few hundred separating her from lowest, four people to go to the final table, huge stacks all around. It was smart and patient and lucky and none of us could believe her.

At one point to freeze the action while a player at another table finished going out on a hand, she announced in the chat box: GOTTA PEE and her time bank started ticking down. The guys didn't get the "joke" and thought she really went to the john, but I was watching both tables and she came back and finished her hand after the other table hand was over.

Somehow, she stalled, folded, waited, got lucky, and not only made the final table as an incredible short stack. But three other players went out before she did. It was a virtuoso performance worthy of the 7 thousand dollars she made by just staying in. (Oh, and when she played, she did it quite well.)

When she finally went out, all the observers commented and then I guess we all left. The final four will play out somehow, someone will make some deal, whatever. So, I'm off to bed - you missed a great show.

LL - if you read 2+2, congrats on your nerve, brains and determination!

Not sure if LL is 2p2, but the champ Crisp86 is. Congrats to him, and all other 2p2ers who cashed.

p.s. interesting to note that about 20 "red" pros ran in this, but I didn't see a single one in the money

According to my list, the last pro to go out was Max Pescatori at 116.

This thread just made me happy so I'm bumping it.

10 year bump! Can't believe the new interface is that old tbh...

ah, when ceegee needed stakes for a $300 mtt. how have times changed

Now he needs stakes for $30 MTTs?

DAMN IT YOU BEAT ME TO THIS

^^ Best avatar. There couldn't be a better one that was spawned from these forums.

Can we get TT to come in here and do a directors cut where he just reads each post out loud with commentary. Or could we just get electrical to read them all in the perceived voice of each poster??

4th street is interesting...
