$160,000!!!!!
Too jubilent and excited to write much of a "real" entry about the final table today, but: I finished 3rd for $160,000!!!
Things went so great for me. I mean... I told Michael before the final table started that, "I feel like 7th place should be the most emotionless finish for me." So the fact that I got 3rd is like super sweet.
No fantastic suckouts or anything, but two hands I definitely needed to win to finish this well:
9 left. Only guy who I cover shoves MP. I have 99 in small blind and call. I win versus A9. That loses, I'm left with like 3 bbs.
6 left (6th was $67k), I shove KQs for 14 bbs. Only guy I cover (who had like 10 bbs) says, "I guess I have to call." KQx on the flop... never bitching about losing a race again.
Bustout hand with three left. I had 15 bbs. Two German guys each had 50+ bbs. Clearly, 3rd was in my future. Button folds. I have Ace-Three suited in small blind. Raise to 4x. Just before he looked at his cards he says, "that's a big raise... you must be playing for all your chips here." After looking, he said, "all-in." I smiled, said, "nice hand... I have to call," and lost to his Ace-Jack.
Overall... couldn't be happier with how things went.
Sweeeeet!!!!

Congrats on the score, that's like roughly 625 weeks of flipping burgers at minimum wage.
Ah, the life of a degenerate gambler... wouldn't trade it for anything.
Enjoy!
