Tourney Cash

Last night I placed second in a home tourney of 18 players. It had been a while since I played one of these so of course taking home 6x my buy-in was nice. Nothing too spectacular about this one.

The way I busted was this: Blinds were 1000 / 2000 with 300 ante, I was holding roughly 50,000 and my opponent 40,000. He raised pre-flop I called with my 10-J. Flop comes out Jx 4s 6s and I go all-in, he calls and shows Q-Q which hold. Down to about 10,000. I look down at 8h-9h and call, he puts me all-in and I call. Flop comes out 5 8 9 rainbow with his A-5, and naturally the turn is another 5 and that holds. No regrets here, happy with the way I played throughout the tourney.
