Just finished a $4.40 buy in, 180 person MTT on stars. Now i remember why i hate poker tourneys.
Had survived the 1st break with a modest stack of around 2.5k. Managed to build after the break to about10k, placing me 8th out of around 32.
A few hands later i get aces. Blinds at 150 / 300. Their are a few limpers, including the table big stack. I repop to 1100 and am eventually called by the big stack.
Flop brings an innocent 7c 9d 2c. Big stack bets out 3/4 pot and a re-raising match ensues. Eventually i am placed all in and the villain reveals a joyous 89s.
The turn brings a 3 and the the sickening river seals my fate with the 8 of diamonds. His woeful two-pair destroys my aces. Sickening.
The hand can be seen on the link below. Obviously tourneys of any variety (including sng's) will be taking a back seat and i will be focusing solely on cash games. Current roll is $174.50

How sick!
I play the hand exactly the same mate. What a muppet getting so committed there with top pair shit kicker after you have shown so much strength.....
oh well just a cooler, you couldn't have wished for the muppet to have a better holding!
Mind adding a link to my blog?
