unfortunately, I didn't win. holy fuck though, did I forget what a great tournament it was. I kept wanting to tell people "YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT MY TABLE" but they would believe it. because this shit was happening everywhere.

early on there was a big pot on a 9T99x board where a guy folded TT faceup and everyone went nuts about 9x. I convinced the table nines were lucky and people started playing even looser (limping 95o in mp and whatnot)

sample hand at my table.

utg opens, some older goofball ive been friendly with utg 1 calls and they go heads up. flop 974 utg check. utg 1 tells me "i got that pair" and bets. utg calls. turn 5 he whispers "now i got a straight draw. " and bets again.

river king check my brah bets kinda smallish. utg tanks for a bit and calls. utg 1 says 'nice call' and shows 69o. utg flopped a set of sevens.
