well i reached the final tonight and as luck would have it out of 1100 entries i reached the final table after a bit of luck ( my a-10 beat a-k,catching a 10 ) and some decent cards we arrived at the last 3,where the chip leader wanted to deal. there is $500 spending money with 1st prize. at this stage it was
Eye rai$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....
so that was that even the ace on the river didn't help
