BOOOOOOM!



Awesome...won my seat to the TOC last night by winning the Mookie. Got most of my chips by almost tripling up with QQ v. AK & AK. Got to the final table in 2nd place and almost immediately lost half my chips when AK < KJ all in pre. super. kept my cool and was able to pick up quite a few chips without any showdowns. Ugh, it was late and without the hand history in front of me i don't remember too many specifics about the knockouts.

But, the heads up battle with Riggstad was ridiculous. No idea how many hands were played, but I'm guessing it was over 100. We went back and forth and I eventually wore him down. Picked up quite a few chips on some shoves over his raises with AK, 99 and then the last hand he shoved A6o and I called with JJ, flopped a set, he turned a guttie and luckily, I held. Game over.

Great game Riggs. happy to get this TOC seat out of the way.

Thanks to Lucko and LJ for the rail :) much appreciated. and to Astin for his Nostradamus like vision of my win. ;-)
