Bloody 10s, what a nightmare....I'm still trying to qualify for the Full Tilt Poker Million Pound Challenge and following on from my 29th place finish on Saturday and 23rd place finish on Sunday, I was feeling confident going into another freeroll.
The were 480 (ish) runners and I muddled on through the early and middle stages keeping my stack average or above average throughout, before running a little low towards the end-game.
I did however manage a cheeky couple of double-ups to move closer to the average stack size (38000). With 17 players left, the big blind at 1200 and my stack at around 32000, I was staring at 1010 UTG. I popped it up to 3200 and and had 2 large stacks in mid-position call me followed by a 12000 all-in from a short-stack. Given the positions and fact that the large stacks may have been calling light, I decided to make my move and shoved all-in, only for the first large stack to call and the second one insta-folded.
The short-stack had Ax and the large stack had AA and caught another Ace on the flop to deliver the killer blow. So I had to settle for 16th place, once again close but no cigar, at least this time I was never in a good spot with tens versus aces wheras the previous knockouts I had my chips in when ahead only to be outdrawn.
Think I'll have another bash on Wednesday - fingers crossed
Good luck at the tables
PS - thanks to Alpha for the railing

Did I see you playing the poker million freeroll on Friday night??
possibly mate, I can't remember - to be honest Friday nights are usually a bit of a blur - hic hic n all that. If I did play it I probably busted out pronto - I honestly cannot remember - I must stop drinking :-)
Did you play? How did you get on?
lol yeah I know what you mean. Yeah played but got hammered early doors and so was never really in it. Finished something like 60th or 70th!
