Accident

My tournament streak ended the other night when I bubbled in 12th place at the $80 buy in. It was a bit brutal because of the way the hand went down. With blinds of 2K-4K, I make it 10K UTG with AK. The guy directly to my left ships for 2.5K more. It folds back to the big blind, who had been playing pretty tight, and he ships for 3.5K additional. I call the 3.5K to put them both all in, and am up against 88 from my left, and QT in the BB. The flop is AKJ, and I flop top two with QT flopping broadway. I brick the turn and river and my tourny was basically done.

On a bright note, Ashley was able to final table AND because one of the guys refused to chop the prize money, they played down to heads up, and after she knocked out the dude who wouldnt chop, she took about $1K and the official win. Very well done. I didnt fair too bad either on the night because I had a few last longer bets in play that I won with my 12th place elimination, so it still worked out pretty well.

On Saturday, Ashley and I didnt do too much. I picked up breakfast and we ate and watched tv, and before long she was off to work. So I sat around for a bit, and then headed out on a drive. As I was getting on the freeway, I rear ended a guy and did some pretty serious damage to my car. Luckily the guy in front of me was not hurt, and I didnt get hurt seriously either. So the rest of my day was spent taking care of my car, getting the insurance information to the proper people, so on and so on.

Sunday I picked up my rental car, and put in a short session. Nothing too noteable, other then booking a $100 winner after only about an hour. Whatever, a win is a win.

Vegas is coming in a few days and Im really excited to get out there and mix it up. I will probably be taking time away from the tables until Vegas shows up. The wait is going to be killer, but anticipation always leads to good things.
