Impressive flipped, I still chicken to play in that type of tournament, but gaining confidence as time goes on. To me that would be an excellent game. Yes, 1st would be better, but 3rd is settling. Hope you continue to win!

No way I would've played this any differently except for maybe push pre flop because it could be a button steal. Either way you lose your stack, bc if he's setting you in on a ten high flop, he's definately calling all of your money pre-flop as well. Nice Job on the cash, sometimes you just need to win 1 more coin flip!

tbh i would not have played it any different and no way am i pushing pre flop with K10 thats insane lol plus i like to play flops and he did not like to play flops with me it was the first hand he had just raised against me he tended to push or fold and i like flops. if i had won that i think i would of won and he had 2 outs he got a little lucky, i could of bet on the flop and he would prob call then i could of went all in on the turn but he may still have called but maybe not as i had won every hand i played against him. i was chip leader most of the way but i got sucked out on a few times but nice cash im happy oh and ty you guys

congratz with your 3th place , it's very hard to get so far in a mtt espacially with such a hugh field , shows that you are indeed a descent player . also a bit unlucky with the river however that you played that hand very good but anyway a for you .

You are on a roll Flipped . too bad u diden't reached another finaltable, but still nice. Don't blow it all on a cashgame. I'm having a great month too, wonder if the wind blew some of your mojo across the channel

Great result, always painful to place anything other than first once you've reached top 5.. But obviously still nice money.. I'm guessing if it had 940 runners that it probably was only a $10-$15 buyin in which case thats a great ROI !
this was the last hand think i should of played it different?
