Played a $5000 guarnteed tournament last night, $6 buy-in. Started off really badly but then got going and started hitting a few hands and all the coin flips I had where I was all in I won. There were 992 players entered and 135 got paid. After winning the few all ins I was in a fairly good position to make the money. Didn't have many good hands to play after that so just sat around till I made the money.
I got down to the last 60 and had AJ on the button and someone raised 2 1/2 times the big blind before me which was a standard raise for them, so for me that was an easy call and a hand worth seeing a flop with. So I called and the flop came 5h Ah 9d, they both checked so of course I had to bet and made a raise of half the pot size. He then went all in and I had to call, he turned over Kh Qh and the turn card came 2h. I was so fustrated because if I had won the had I would be in the top 10 in terms of stack size. Some times I guess on those big hands at the end of the tournament you need just that little bit of luck. Still I'm happy with the way I played, finished 60th place and won $13.
