Back at the Final Table
It's about freakin time.
I played in a $10 single rebuy tourney on FCP tonight. I was back on my game and didn't make any donkey mistakes that are so easy to make. I was amazingly card dead after the first level, and when I did pick something up, I was mainly just picking up blinds, but it kept me alive. The pay structure sucked, it only paid 10 out of 166, but I managed to limp my wounded ass to the final table in 10th place. I came in with just over 9,000 in chips and blinds were at 1500/3000. But once I'm there I just need a hand or two and I am in decent shape.
Comes around to my BB and I pick up 10-7o for 1/3 of my stack, and the button pushes on me. I figured, Hey, it's FCP, maybe DN's hand will come through for me, so I pushed in the rest. The Button had 22, and the flop came 7-3-10, and another 10 on the river for good measure! Looking much healthier now. After that I picked up a few hands and stole some blinds and a few people limping in. Managed to get up to around 30k, good for about 5th while we had 8 left. Another player busted and now i'm around 4th of 7 and I get into a hand with QQ and bust a shorstack with around 20k. Feeling real good at this point. I'm up to about 56k when I pick up AJ on the button. 5 handed now and I make it 10k. SB folds and the BB makes the call. Flop is 8-3-J and he checks to me. I bet 20k and he raises to 60k which is enough to put me in. I called pretty quick and he flips over QJ. SWEET! Or so I thought.... The turn was a 9, and the river was a 10, and he makes his fucking straight!!! I am just fucking sick! The pot was like 128k and I would have been just under him for the chiplead and well ahead of 3rd, and could have fucking won the damn thing had he not hit runner runner on me. Just sick.
So I wound up getting 5th and taking home $240, which feels like nothing when I knew I had a shot to win. But it's still a nice boost to a hurting bankroll. So I will take it. Also nice feeling to get back to a final table. I haven't been playing many tournies lately, but have not been totally focused, or just been getting beat down by the cards lately. So it's sure refreshing.
