I just got bounced out of the tournament at the Majestic Star. The tourney was well run as usual and I managed to build my starting stack of 6k to 10k in the first hour. I busted out holding [As][Js] and the flop came down [Ac][Jc][8c]. There was a raise pre flop and I simply flat called hoping to hit a flush draw or better. Anyhow, I decided that I was going to push and I got insta-called with my opponent holding [Ac][Kh]. A [9c] came on the turn and a blank on the river. Off to the rail I go.

A little frustrating but that’s the way it goes sometimes. As long as I get my chips in good I am OK with the outcome even if it is not too favorable. This is one of those times I had to suck it up.
