Eye rai$e 850,000 me 520,000 DeLaSoya 300,000 anyway the support told us that we had to do the deal ourselves,so we agreed that 1st would get $200 and 2nd and 3rd $150,then we played on,i got h/u with Eye Rai$e and although he had over a 2-1 chip lead i started to catch him until i got a-j in the bb he raised i re-raised he went all-in,ok i said lets do it and he showed qq, anyway by the turn 4 hearts were showing and he had the q so that was that even the ace on the river didn't help at least i got h/u and i was nearly off to sunny spain,so close yet...... now i just hope he is true to word and he sends across the

It's a REAL THRILL reaching the final table in any tourneys....even if it's a freeroll....
No matter how much prize money is involved,...it's still an accomplishment,....but is all the sweeter if you've bought in and will cash relatively big....
