Last night...

I was ready to play Jamie’s game, until I realized he was not having a game.  I then logged on to Full Tilt for the first time in a while.  It was about 8:50 and I joined an 8:45 Pot Limit Omaha Hi / Lo tournament that had already started.  The entry was $5 + .50 and there were 274 entries.  First place paid $356.20 and the next 26 places paid.

 

By 9pm I was the chip leader ! : )  I had a wrap that became the nut straight.  There were 2 all ins and I was doing the no flush / no paired board dance.  The board cooperated and neither of the other two players had a straight.  Somewhere between 9pm and 1am I had less than 10 BB’s and went all in with an AJ2 double suited.  I doubled up and was back in the game when the J high flush hit and was good. 

 

By 1am I was at the final table and half awake.  It was a roller coaster.  Two people would go all in, I would start counting my additional money and then they would chop.

 

By 1:15 I was ¼ awake and playing heads up.  I was behind but close.  He had 220,000 and change I had 180,000 and change.  The lead changed and then I was ahead.  Then I lost an all in and was down to 300 or so chips L.  At that point I was all in and scooped something like 5 times in a row but I was eventually out.

 

Second place paid $226.05 !
