$900,000 FTP Sunday Tourney

Finished #510 of 4,430 runners, in the money for a +50% gain. Such a bummer as my suited AdKd went down to AQ-off on my exit hand. I was sitting pretty with 32k chips, above the average of 21k and picked up the AK from the cut off. I had been sitting quiet for about 50 hands, so I expected my 4x BB raise would have elicited folds. Made it 5,400 chips with the blinds at 600/1200/150. The SB re-raises me to 18,500 with another 12k chips behind. Was worried I was up against AA or KK, but decided to put my tourney on the line here. He turns over AQ - what a donkey. Flop comes 982....Q....Q. Lovely. Gonzo.

Couple interesting notes. I cracked AA twice in the tourney. Once flopping a set and then getting it all in. The second, I flopped middle pair and flush draw and got it in only to turn the flush and take the aces down again.

Oh well, I had my fair share of luck getting into the money, but as usual, my exit hand in the tournaments are good decisions, with winning hands, only to be out-drawn. That's poker.
