OK, this is all about the takedown, so I will tell. Small number of buy-ins, I pay knowing that the game starts at 10pm EST - kids bedtime and about 30 minutes before their mom comes home and I head home. I stay on long enough to see stockrock at the table. I close the Beach, going on AF. Kids in bed, 20 month old refuses to stay there, Tami messages me with "Be nice and calm, he can tell you are upset." I lay down with him. 10:45 - boys' mom comes home, I leave. I get to the computer, get logged in at 10:55 , I have $600 left, blinds are going to start killing me. 5 minutes later, at the break, I have $1900. Shortly after break, Final table, I am the short stack. I make a move with pocket 7s, hit trips on the flop. I take a little money from 4 players. Fighting back, I get a YM from web telling me to quit picking on people's blinds while I am short stack. I message back, when I won't do it. I will own this FT. He laughs. I proceed to start knocking out the others sitting around me. Money line of 3 players - me, kc1121, ohiogirlie. I now have $30000 of the $36000 chips. First goes kc when again pocket 7s hit a set on the flop for me, and his 2 pair do not materialize into a FH. Heads up with OG, we pass blinds back and forth. She catches a great hand and I call with a weak one. Then she has another good hand and I pass over more chips. It is $19000 to $17000. Web in YM - she is gonna beat you. I proceed to hold out, catch an A with a better kicker than she had and close out the game. So from $600 to Tournament winner and $12 in payout. Good game to everyone involved. Nice job by all. Thank you to Tami and Stacy for the support.

Final hand: You had pkt 5's. I had pkt 3's (I should have known 3's were gonna suck). Great game, man. You played very well.

You are right, just remembered that it was 3s versus 5s on the phone with Tami. Well played last hour for everyone.

Great job Kong and OG - I was the one that got these tournies put in. ;) I think they'll get better as more players get in them. Last night I played a $2+.20, finished in 4th and 3 got payed, was short stacked the whole time until the final hand when my a 5 got busted by QJ. Hopefully I can try another one of these soon, have to get a bit more freeroll money before playing another.

Very nicely done Kong, I love to see the short stack come back and win it all. Keep listening to Tami, she gives good advice!
