Last night I playing my nightly $100 total prize pool UK freeroll and was down to 5 chips late in tourney. Something like 100 people remain out of 1000 and I was down to 5 chips.

Final results: Another 1st place win!

The FT started with me being back up to 30,000 chips while everyone else had well over $150,000. Patience grasshopper.

I folded every hand preflop including suited A3, A4, and AQ when faced with an all in raise before me.

Final 3 I'm still here, chip leader with $1.2 million chips, me and the other guy with $150,000 plus minus.

Two hours later....I finally get the suck out for the win. He had QQ and me AK with a rivered K to win.

This month, two firsts, two fifths, and three more cashes.

Nice accomplishment Mike!!

I wouldn't concider AK vs QQ a suck out though.

Wher're you playing? stars?

Yeah, but I lose money in those.

Tell you what, playing 5 hours and winning $15 (£7.50) seems a bit odd when I could be doing something else....like exploring London at night.

But it sure was fun to win my second tournament to validate my first win a few weeks ago. Especially to come back from the brink of elimination on 3 straight hands then keep coming back and finally winning the whole thing. I was stunned when it was over because I could not believe that there was no one left at the table but me.

I would definately be up for it, but not too soon, we need let atleast one of our ASM's arrive first.

EDIT: Congrats on the freeroll victory, sounds like quite a grind

I play so bad in tournaments, to win one is brilliant!
