Although the aces were a bad beat, it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t discuss the one I gave to last that long in the tournament. I started Day 2 short in chips, hovering around the starting stack. Every move was met by a guy two to my left who seemed to have a premium hand, having shown aces twice and kings once – and this was early. Finally the guy to my right raises and I smooth call his pre flop raise with K l0 of hearts, figuring I was live against him and had a shot with position. I’m on the button and the big blind, as he had the last four hands, re-raises the original raise. Original raiser to my right folds and I move All-In … he insta calls and shows aces, AGAIN. I groan. A king hits the flop and the original raiser said he had thrown away a king; but sure enough the last king in the deck hits on the turn and I win a pot which allowed me to go on and run into quads. I should have been out but I wasn’t .. I was freerolling and I’ll take that any day of the week …..
