Today I got into the Golden Nugget $65 tournament at 11:00am. It had a 500 bonus chip for $5 and one rebuy for $40 for first hour.
Play was pretty decent. Several players that are here for the Online Forum Challenge played it. We only ended up with three tables. Top 3 got paid.
I made the final table with about 12K. There were quite a few short stakes with around 4 to 5K. Ten players left and blinds are 2000/4000.
We get down to 7 players and I am sitting with 5K and the cards have been crap since the final table started. I am two positions away from looking at the big blind and I have K,Q suited. I push all-in. One guy calls and of course the big blind limps in for another 1000. One has A,7 off and big blind has J,7 off. A Jack hits the board and I am sent packing. Out in 7th place.
At least I am getting closer to finishing in the money. Yes, I am trying to keep a positive attitude.
