Ended up making the top 3 at the Grey Eagle yesterday. We ended up chopping and then playing for the last 50 dollars. The guy who was in first made the offer because first place also came with a 200 dollar ticket to Saturdays tournament.
1st paid 700 + ticket
2nd paid 450
3rd paid 250
So it sounded like a solid deal to chop it and each get 450. The guy who was in first had at least double both our stacks, so although we could of had a chance at beating him, at least getting 450 instead of 250 was nice.
The guy who was in first ended up winning the extra 50, I finished second.
I made a dumb play and cost me 10K or so in tournament money.
I had pocket Aces, another guy had pocket Kings.
Flop came Ace, King, Rag. After the river came I bet, he raised and instead of going all in I just called. There was a straight draw on the board, but I should of re-raised him. Both of us thought we were trapping the other, it was nice to come out the winning side.
At the final table I folded pocket 6's, I should of limped..the flop came six six and something else..I would of flopped Quads. Someone hit a flush and there was lots of money on the table, I would of been paid off nicely.
Thankfully though I still made the money.
