so close, yet so far away...
at the final table i doubled up igotdanuts when i limped with KQs from SB and he pushed allin from BB with K9os and flopped the 9. then another hand i push allin with a pocket pair, catch a set but the board makes and flush and it was a split pot with way2late. once we were down to 6 people, 2 of those 6 had gotten lucky against me to stay in the tourney. then i had a bad run of horrible cards and then caught AKs so i push cause at this point i was the shortest stack but still close to everyone else and igotdanuts calls me with pocket 8s and knocks me out with a set. as soon as he knocked me out i knew he would win it cause everytime i double up someone at the final table and then they knock me out, they always go on to win. i was doing great the entire tourney and was consistantly near the top in chips the entire tourney and then my luck went south at the final table. was sick when i kept losing with the best hand when we were allin preflop. just very disappointing to get so close to the $12,500 prize package to the wsop Main Event and not win. but i guess it coulda been worse, going heads up and then lose. but if i woulda won those 2 hands where i got unlucky i woulda been the dominant chip leader with 4 people left and woulda been the favorite to win it. aaaaaah, the shoulda, woulda, couldas of poker. isnt it grrrrrrreat!
anyways, congrats to igotdanuts. he was unbeatable at that final table.
