Good Lord another heart breaker. I decided to play a Sunday Millions Double Shootout Satellite. My first table was just four players. Only thirty-seven entered the tournament so the numbers were very good considering they were giving away two seats. Anyhow, I proceeded to be patient and before I knew it I had won my table.

Shortly thereafter I waited for two players to bust out from the Final Table and then doubled up with my AKos. A few hands later another was gone and we were already down to six players. I played a pretty solid game at the final table. I hit sets when I needed to and pretty much just coasted in. We were three handed when I picked up K9os in the small blind. It folded around to me and I decided to push and put the small stack, $1200 in chips, to the test. I figured at worst I was a 3-2 dog so no big deal. Well, he turned up AJos instead and I got no help on the turn or river. Now I am down to $1700 and I pick up JJ. The blinds are now $150 / $75 so I push my chips in the middle only to run into Aces!

Unreal!

I was stunned. Just sitting there one seat away from the Sunday Millions and then having to bow out just short. Very frustrating. On the other hand, if I look at this rationally, I gotta be doing something right to keep getting this far. The cards have to fall my way just on the math alone. So it will be good times when it does I suppose.
