Final Table
Somehow I managed to sleep for just two hours and promptly play the best poker of my life for 14 hours today. The 571 player field is down to 10. I'm second or third in chips with 503,000. Play resumes tomorrow at 4:00 pm Pacific. $47,000 to first. One time!?
I'm too tired to post any significant details, but I can say that there was only one instance the entire day where I was all-in, called, and covered. That was when I had aces up against someone's king-four offsuit, all-in preflop. Aside from that, my tournament life was never on the line. It was a pretty sick day of poker like that.

Results:
4th for $11.5k.
I started the day with 503,000 chips. Never was I above 600,000 or below 400,000 (until I busted obv). To go from 10 players to 4 players, I probably only saw about 30 hands. It was a really quick final table. I only won maybe 3 or 4 hands, all of which I took down preflop by stealing or restealing.
When it was four handed, a good, young player I sat next to a lot throughout the tournament (I believe his name was Josh Woolsey - congrats to him if he took it down - he was heads-up when I left) made it 80k during 15k/30k. With 400k on the button, I looked down at 33. I think you can make a good case for folding that, but I shoved. My thinking was that he had been opening a lot, his image of me was probably that I'm somewhat tightish, and he'd be losing about half his chips to make this call. I figured there are a lot of hands he was raise/folding with (JTo, A8-, 55-, K9... you get the idea). And of the hands he's calling with, there's only 9 of them I dread seeing (66+). Getting in a race for 30 big blinds didn't exactly sound dreadful to me at the time. Whatever... I mailed it in, he wasted little time calling with 66. GG.
I might have folded in that spot if either of the blinds were super short. But they both had me covered. W/e... w/e... w/e.
I'm not complaining.

I'm not a fan of the aggressive play given how fast the table was crumbling, but I'm a pussy and pry wouldn't have made it that far anyways!
