Small PLO Final Table

I hopped in a small $8 PLO tournament this morning. I doubled up at the 15/30 level and had 3k in chips going into the 25/50 level. It should have been all over after this hand

Seat 1: ZENZO (3090 in chips)
Seat 2: AceSpaded (1715 in chips)
Seat 3: trixter23 (3175 in chips)
Seat 4: badbugger (1590 in chips)
Seat 5: wildone111 (200 in chips) is sitting out
Seat 6: JA2377 (2027 in chips)
Seat 8: charly441 (5160 in chips)
Seat 9: xxxCMFxxx (1148 in chips)

badbugger: posts small blind 25
wildone111: posts big blind 50

*** TURN *** [8s As Qd] [7h]
*** RIVER *** [8s As Qd 7h] [Th]

JA2377: shows [Ks 6c 9s Jh] (a straight, Ten to Ace)
trixter23: shows [2d Kd Ah Ac] (three of a kind, Aces)
JA2377 collected 1758 from side pot
xxxCMFxxx: shows [Kh 5s 6s 4s] (high card Ace)
JA2377 collected 3519 from main pot

There was a lot of draws out there and this left me with about 10 bb's. I fought back though and doubled up to 2k. I was then able to steal some blinds and move up to 3k w/out having to showdown a hand which is always a good thing. Here I went to 7800

zydes: shows [Ah Th Td 7d] (two pair, Tens and Deuces)
trixter23: shows [Ks Kh Ts 4h] (two pair, Kings and Deuces)

We made our way up to 9k w/out much resistance. Then we won an all in from another player after i cracked his aces with 8s 7h 3h 5d. I had flopped a wrap with a flush draw so that was an easy decision. I had moved to 17k when the following hand occured. This was by far the biggest hand of the tournament, because it volted me to chip leader. Which I took full advantage of and didnt relinquish.

I was able to chip up pretty nicely on the bubble and went to the FT first in chips with 50k. Other than mexi and maybe zydes, there really wasnt anyone that could hurt me if i lost a pot.


I took out the next two players and had a commanding lead in the tournament.




Then I eventually took it down
I haven't been doing well in MTT the last month or so at all. So it feels nice to get over that hump and book a win, even as small as it was. I think i can contribute cash games to that lack of success. I just dont have the patience I once had when i soley played sng's or tournaments. See everyone at the tables.

Probably not for awhile, still paying off money I had to borrow after my car got broken into. It sucks, but I'm a tighty when it comes to bankroll and won't go unless I feel completely comfortable with the amount of money I have to play.

My buddy claims he's going to Vegas to get married in October so I might have to try and find a way to save up for that.
