Great Canadian Tournament
I Got into the tourney today. Started with 5000 in chips blinds started at 100-200 and blinds going up every 10 min. Got into the first round and got to low to med chips around 1800 with 1 player out at my table. Tables were of 11, clawed my way back to 3 way semi bullied my way around 2nd in chips all 3 of us were about even about 2500 - 3000 separated us took out the 3rd guy and heads up blinds were 4000 - 8000 got :7d :7h in the small blind raised all -in he contemplated for about 4 or 5 min then folded. About 3 to 1 chip lead on him, next hand :6h :6s he limps in I re-raise all-in again for about 8 - 10 min then folds. Next hand I am small blind :ah :9c he goes all in for less than he doesn't have enough for the big blind he has 5700 I think I am small blind for 4000 to me 1300 more what else I call he has 77 I end up spiking a 9 on the river to win the first round.
Semi-finals 2nd hand in I am in the big blind :ah :9h I raise pre-flop to 1800 with 2 callers 1 being the small blind first guy folds small guy calls right away so I think he might have A K anyways flop comes 559 he checks I go all-in for 3700 he calls 3500 he turns over A 5 OS I flipped out I am left with 2 chips 200 I am the button goes all the way around the table then the blinds go up to 200-400 I don't even have enough for the big blind 3 other callers I quadruple up to 800 keeps on snowballing and now I am heads up with the chip leader with 6500 not to bad with 200 left in chips. 1st hand Q C 5 C big blind he limos in blinds are only 300-600 so I check flop comes Q J 9 I go all in with top pair he calls with you guessed it he had 10 8 I was done I win that round I go to the final table but know such luck.

It's too bad that the organizers did not publicize it properly. Four hundred more people could have played had they known about it.
LOL! Now I understand why I was taught about punctuation and run-on sentences in elementary school. ;-)
The reason they took it off the forum was because of the spam that was going on as a result of this tournament.
Maybe you meant to say:

I actually won it. And was not one of the 88 preselelcted I went down early lined up and played.
Good work! What table did you start on? did you know the other two players you shared to prize money with? I got nailed by the river and was knocked out early. Such is the game of poker.
