luckboxing san diego part 2

The final table today started out pretty well, I busted the first 2 players with AQ holding against KJ and KK holding against 66 to give me around 280k with 7 left and the chip lead. I really wasn't involved much of all the rest of the way til we were down to 4, but Karec sucked out in a huge pot with 6 left. Blinds were 5k/10k I believe and the utg player shoved in his 120k, the player next over shoved in his 120k, and Karec called with QQ out of the bb. The utg player had ATo, but the next guy had KK and Karec was in bad shape. Flop came A high, turn was a King, but it was the King of spades putting 3 spades on the board and giving Karec the flush draw, the river was the Jack of spades giving Karec the pot in one of the more dramatic final table hands I've ever seen. It also gave him a big chip lead with over 400k. Shortly after that I was down to 10 big blinds and shoved Q2 in the sb, bb called with AJ but flop came 522 and I doubled up. Very next hand I raise 66, and the same player shoves, and I tank and call with 66, he had KK and I couldnt suck out. That left me with 3 big blinds and Q8 couldnt catch up to A9 and I was out in 4th for $6160. They decided to chop after I busted and Karec got the biggest piece of it getting $19k. They played it out for the circuit ring and Karec ended up winning. They went all in blind once they got headsup and Karec won with him holding 64off on the final hand, the hand known as the "k-rock", how fitting.

Played the late night tourneys tonight after we had a few drinks, cashed the $109 3am tilt turbo but lost a flip for the chiplead with 24 left. I got 6th in the Stars 1 am $109, losing AQ to 88 with 6 left and then AA to frickin 66 to the same guy, 6 on the river for me to go out 6th for $1500. First was $9k too... bla. And I'm currently still in the 2 am $75 on Tilt which is $6k to win, 3 are left... and I'm out 3rd for $2700, run KQ into AQ with 15 bigs. Could have been a big night, ah well. Have to get the luckbox ready for tomorrows circuit $1k.
