Finished in 4th last night in one the freerolls!!!! The hand that I went out on was unbelievable though. I had just taken out the 5th place person, and taken the chip lead when the next hand happened. I had 10 9 suited diamonds. There was no preflop raise and the blinds were 20k and 40k. I was first to act and had just called the blinds. The flop comes out as Jack of spades, 7 of diamonds, and 8 of spades. Exactly, I had hit my straight on the flop. I go all in figuring that no one would call and I would steal the 160k pot, but I was wrong. The 2nd place chip stack, who was only 17k behind me in chips, calls. I was loving it and thinking " I am so going to win this tournament". So the cards flip and he has two pair 7's and 8's to my straight. Now I'm praying for no 7 or 8 but I guess the poker gods were mad at me last night, cause as you guessed it He hit. I see the 7 come down on the river and my jaw hit the floor. I guess it was his night to win. I'm not upset, he probably called thinking I was betting on the Jack. I still did great and had made a bunch of tough calls that pulled through for me. Now I have a little bit of money to play in some real tournaments this weekend and my gut is on point.
