$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (18th out of 191 Players)

2nd break...just lost a race to fall to 4000 chips and blinds are 250-500, so if I can double up a time or two i will be in great shape to final table with 29 left but it looks like a small cash finish is in the near future.
 
Was short the whole time, nothin i could do.

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (305th out of 530 Players)

this tourney was pretty cool, for some reason there were about 15 pros in it.  Well i get two limpers ahead of me for 100 each and the BB has 700 in his stack, I am sitting on the button with AQ and 2000 in my stack.  there is 350 in the pot already and i don't mind if the BB plays an all in pot with me here so i just shove to let him call knowing he has protection from the other limpers from calling.  also if i pick of the pot its still 1/6 more i am adding to my stack.  BB folds and one of the limpers INSTA-CALLS with QJs! lol, well he proceeds to turn a royal flush and thats all there was to that tourney.

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (7th out of 141 Players)

Very small field tonight; only 141.
 
First break: 2800 chips, blinds bout to be 60-120, 50 left, 18 get paid.
 
I have had the nuts twice in the last 7 hands in 3 way pots and couldn't get any action...:(....Finally pick up a nice stack and then I double a medium stack with AK v KK, I hit the A, then he one outs me.
 
AK v AQ got me back to medium stack...Second break, I have about 9500 (middle of the pack) and two more need to bust before the money...hope it goes quick...cashed.
 
Lost a few key races but got lucky early in the tourney a few times so i can't complain too much.  The only thing that was pretty unfortunate was the big chip leader was on my left from 13 people on down and i could never make a move to build my stack cuz he literally called everything and i was card dead.

12 left.  The short stacks have won 10 of their last 10 all ins and were behind in 8 of them...meanwhile i am carddead and gonna bubble cuz of it.
 
Wow, survived it to make the final table...7/9...7/7...6/6...5/5
 
Ahh, AKs all in v A6 and he rivers a straight...I am not as sick about this hand as I normally would be because I gave away chips the hand before so my all in was pretty small.  Finally got (cept for the last hand) all my AK's v AJ's etc to hold up and got the nice finish I knew I was so close to...mostly happy but still annoyed by the mistake to lose chips on the second to last hand.
