It's OVer

hings were goin well for me in the tournament, til I ran into this one donk who was just holding over me. About four hours into the tourny blinds at 400-800 im sitting with about 24k which is probably top 5 stack size in a field of 83. This one guy who has been opening pots all day with any ace and calling raises with ace rag. makes it 2100 UTG he is sitting with 10k I believe. Realizing this I just decided to make a play in late position so I raise all in with Q10 of hearts. Keep in mind this is the only time in the tournament id ever made a play, and when id raise I had the goods. I showed it to them everytime, So this guy is in the tank, then after 5 minutes he calls with Ace 5 diamonds, flops an Ace. The whole table was like you took that long to call with that ****, I was told by 5 people at the table I made a great play and cant believe I was called down with that. After I lost that pot I berated him but controlled myself to the point not to do over do it, as I still had enough chips to come back. In any case I was card dead for the remainder of the tourny til I had KQ pushed in and wouldnt you know it our hero had Ak to bust me.

No more poker for me for a long time.

Id also like some thoughts on my play.

To that guy in the WSOP Tourny at Tulalip Casino with the Minnesota Sweater and Tulalip Poker hat. Your a donk, what the hell did u think u could beat by calling an all in. If I ever see you again im gonna just kick your ***. Here we are playing for a 19k first place and you play push/pray poker, your **** got hard every time you saw an ace.

WSOP Satellite is next Saturday

I hope to perform and well, i'm just hoping to play well and wish for the best. I would be lying to you if I haven't thought about what i'd do if I win. If it gets down to three players and we are fairly even in chips I'll probably propose a chop if one hasn't been already proposed. Id be happy walking away with 9k if they let us cash out the prize rather than the WSOP package. Wish me luck to all who read this, I hope to be back in Vegas by June
