When we last left out hero, I was at about 31,000. With about 35,000 I picked up KK and was facing an all in of about 18,000 in front of me. Yay! Kings should be good right? Wrong! He had AA and I was down under 20,000.
A few hands later I moved all in from 1st position with KQ. I got called by AJ, but I flopped 2 kings and was up to 30,000.
A few hands later I picked up 66. The player to my right who happened to be the same guy who had the AA and the AJ moved all in for 10,000. I decided to gamble and moved all in over the top. When the next player to act moved all in too I knew I was in trouble. The first guy had A9 and the second guy had KK, but I nailed a 6 on the flop and was up over 70,000!
Since then I've been in maintain mode and have about 90,000. We're down to 88 which pays $1,918 gross and I'm in 62nd.
I also finished 5th in the $215 Stud second chance which paid $512.
