In the last hour I've won a ton of pots. I made two more sets - one against top pair and one against another set!
I also had a great hand a moment ago where I snapped off a bluff. I raised with AQ and got called by the small blind. The flop came down 789, my opponent check raised me and I called. The turn was another 9, he bet and I called. The river was a 4 and he bet again. If he had anything but a bluff I was dead, but I figured that if he had a pocket pair above 9 he would have three bet before the flop and it just didn't make sense for him to call a raise with a mid range cards. I thought maybe he had AT so I called. It turned out he had QJ and I took down a 30,000 chip pot.
I forgot to post the above and took a quick shower on my 5 minute break. After my shower I made two more sets! I have NEVER made so many sets in one tournament. The first came with TT in a 3 way preflop capped pot. The flop came down KJ5 which pretty much meant I was dead, but since there was 28,000 in the pot and it only cost me 2,000 to see another card, I decided to gamble. The turn was a ten! BOOM! My opponent had AK and paid me off after I check raised him on the turn and bet the river.
I'm up to 240,000 and in 1st place with 81 players left!! The player in second has 40,000 less than me and average is about 84,000. This could be some good shit!
